Is there any reason I would not want to use this ball inside, on a gym floor?

Either floor is fine....my daughter has been using it on a gym floor works like all the other balls at the gym.

The Ball is pretty versatile. On an indoor court/gym floor you'll notice it will have a bit of an extra bounce (thanks to a slightly thicker exterior) but not much of a difference.

No. This ball can be used indoors or outside. If you are on a school team or are very serious about playing ball then you may want to eventually purchase a leather ball which is a little heavier and gives you the feel of authentic game play.

No. In fact this is a ball I would prefer to use on a gym floor. The hide has a super feel and the grip is very tacky. In my experience, using a ball like this on an outdoor court tends to wear it out much quicker.

Don't see what not. I have been using it outside on concrete and it's working fine there. So can't see why inside would be a problem

It's an indoor/outdoor ball. I play indoors and have been using this particular ball for the past 4 yrs.

No, not really. I suppose if i threw it hard at a wood floor, it would come up a couple feet. It is no place near what you'd expect from a kickball, basketball, soccer ball, super ball, tennis ball...

Yes I am using it inside a school gym right now. I place the unit on a rubber mat after removing the spikes so it doesn't slide around. It still does move around a bit but not too badly. I use the soft baseballs or tennis balls. Wicked curves with tennis balls.

I have gym carpet in my house. Works great on the carpet. I hope that helps

Ours has been used but not abused. With a lot of effort the launcher and setter which are plastic could be broken, but neither is essential. Some player prefer to throw the ball and not use the launcher. Most just set the pins without the setter.

I try my very best to avoid letting clients drop the dumbbells on the rubber flooring, but it happens occasionally and I have never noticed any type of damage whatsoever. I would be more worried for the floor! I always re-tighten the dumbbells if they do drop on the ground, just to be safe.

Yes. I only use it indoors. My kids are small so they don't move it around too much. If kids are larger or rowdy it could slide around if it's not anchored. Noise is loud but not too loud. I definitely don't leave it running when they aren't jumping though.

It could be used indoors and will likely hold up better than using it outside. We had to throw ours away after three uses because there were holes everywhere. It's rather big but if you have the space, there's no reason why you couldn't just keep it inflated. You would be able to use the slide, and ball blaster just the same.

We have ours in our second floor bedroom. I have read that if it gets noisy that the wheels can be lubricated. The most important thing that you can do is to purchase the floor mat to protect your floor (a must have for any exercise equipment). Have fun, you are going to love this machine and will be amazed that such a low-impact exercise routine can bring such incredible results!

Not having tried it. I don't know. But the pressure in a big air mattress while large may not be a great as an erecise ball under load. But for the few dollars involved. Try it before you chuck yhe exercise ball

I would not recommend using any indoor ball outdoors, especially this one. It'll tear up and won't be as nice using it indoors. If you need an outdoor ball, it's really better to go with a rubber ball.

I have only used the Bouncer out doors, because I purchased it in the spring. I do not plan on using it inside my home.

no I would use it outside only, if you use indoors you will have dead bugs falling all over the floor.

I don't know - the ball is being used in an elementary school. I have had student sit and bounce in it without a problem. I did have an exercise ball previously that a student was able to puncture when it was stabbed with a sharp pencil!

No this is a very soft indoor only ball and would likely shred and wear down real fast.

Ours is used outside and it works very well. You probably could use it indoors, but I'm not sure whether or not it may leave scuff marks on glossy gym floors. Also, I know from experience that rubber (and plastic) can have debris from outside that can cause scratches. I believe I saw that somebody else pointed this out also. My kids had their 3-wheel vehicles with plastic wheels. They weren't a problem on the wood floors until after they rode them outside. Now, we designate "outdoor" or "indoor" use.
