REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Grip strength

Comments about Gripp Gravity Ball:

The one I purchased, the rubber membrane holding the beans (inside) started to break down near/at a seal.

I was doing about 20 reps in both hands, a couple times a day and the ball just couldnt handle that kind of work on it.

Comments about Gripp Gravity Ball:

A good hand strengthener for people with average size hands. Seems to build grip strength but not great at working actual finger pressure. For people with larger size hands like myself it has a very limited range of motion.

Comments about Gripp Gravity Ball:

Product was great fun for a few short weeks. After a couple of months (max) them rubber membrane breaks down and becomes totally useless.

Not good value if you have to buy a new one 5 times a year.

Hand exercise

Comments about Gripp Gravity Ball:

I'd agree with what others have written. I like it for hand strength exercises - more general strength to stave off carpal tunnel from writing reviews than climbing. I've tried lots of other things and nothing is convenient as having one of these on my desk at work and home. I had problems with the outer membrane wearing out too - I took a bit of fabric and stitched a cover for the second one I got and it's been fine for months now. I'd recommend it for the function, but not for the durability as-is.

Comments about Gripp Gravity Ball:

Used as a hand strengthner while stuck in traffic. One day I was driving to work, running late of course, it broke, and all the beads went everywhere. It lasted all of a month, either I have super human strength or it's cheap plastic.

Comments about Gripp Gravity Ball:

I have used this regularly for not more than five months (sets of 20-25 squeezes several days a week) & it's falling to bits. The outer layers of rubber have cracked all over and torn in several places, so now when I use it little bits of rubber come off. It was pretty good while it lasted but I'll be looking for something else to replace it.
