The benefits of training with weighted exercise balls
- Versatility: Weighted fitness balls are incredibly versatile tools that can be incorporated into a wide variety of training routines, including strength training, core workouts, balance exercises, and rehabilitation programmes. They are suitable for helping patients going through post-injury stages of recovery, as well as the most gruelling of high intensity workouts and everything in between.
- Stability: Performing exercises with weighted balls engages your core muscles, challenging balance and stability and helping to improve posture and overall core strength.
- Functional strength: The movements required for weighted ball exercises mimic the functional movements required for real-life activities. This promotes strength gains that translate into improved performance in daily tasks and athletic endeavours.
- Dynamic workouts: Incorporating slam balls or medicine balls into your workout adds intensity and variety to your trainings. Perform dynamic exercises that target multiple muscle groups simultaneously, fostering greater overall fitness and athleticism.
What are the different types of weighted exercise balls?
As part of the RPM Power range, we offer a variety of training balls in a diverse selection of weight levels. Although the different ball types share some similarities, ultimately, some or more suited to certain types of training than others. Discover the differences and find the ball type and weight variation that best match your fitness goals.
Medicine balls
The most popular type of weighted exercise ball, medicine balls are a staple in any fitness regimen. RPM Power medicine balls are made of thick, durable rubber which adds to the overall heavy weight of the ball and makes them ideal for rebounding, throwing and catching. Medicine balls tend to be smaller than wall balls allowing for a much better grip, with the added benefit of a textured surface. They are ideal for doing partnered throws, fast rebounding and rotation exercises. Available as a colourful medicine ball set or as individual weight levels from 2-10kg. Their light-heavy weight levels makes them suitable for users of all fitness levels, from beginners to advanced athletes.
Wall balls
Also bringing lots of versatility to the table are wall balls. Very similar to medicine balls in function, they are great all-rounders that can be used for developing upper- and lower-body strength, coordination and balance. Where they differ is in size, texture and grip: wall balls are much larger with a soft cushioned exterior that allows them to absorb impact better than a medicine ball. Their material shell additionally makes them very comfortable to exercise with and serves for safety when training. With a nice soft bounce, these exercise balls are perfect for developing explosive strength, when performing single high speed, powerful throws. Like a medicine ball, a wall ball is not designed for use in ground slams.
They can be used in combination with wall-ball targets and are available in a range of weight levels (2-10kg) or as a multi-set.
Slam balls
Heavy-duty weighted slam balls (or dead balls) are designed for fluid, forceful and explosive movements, such as slams, throws and lunges. Their durable outer shell made from PVC makes them ideal for intense full-body workouts, helping to improve power and cardiovascular endurance. Unlike medicine balls, slam balls are filled with iron sand and are designed to be lifted and slammed to the ground, with little or no bounce effect. RPM Power slam balls are completely black with a textured tyre thread surface for extra grip and are available in weight levels 3-15kg or as a set.
Swiss balls and wall ball accessories
Some of the other products included int he RPM Power exercise ball range include:
- Swiss ball: This PVC stability ball is inflated with air to serve as a soft supportive surface for a variety of exercises and stretching movements.
- Wall ball targets: This pair of wall ball targets can be attached 75mm rack uprights (Renegade rack, Bay Rig racks) and are great for practicing precision-based movements.
Choosing the right training ball for you
When it comes to choosing an exercise ball, consider your fitness goals, current fitness level, and the type of exercises you want to perform. Whether you're seeking to build strength, improve stability, or increase movement speed and reaction time, our selection offers options to suit every preference and requirement.
FAQ on exercise balls
What are the main differences between wall balls, medicine balls and slam balls?
Wall balls feature a soft, material shell and are suitable for use with wall ball targets. Their cushioned filling results in a very low bounce when thrown. Medicine balls are made from thick rubber, which gives them a slightly higher bounce when thrown against the wall or floor. Slam balls are made from inflated rubber tyre thread material filled with iron sand shavings, resulting in absolutely zero bounce.
All three types of balls are suitable for strength and endurance training, with wall and medicine balls being more suited to coordination, speed, balance and rehabilitative exercises. Designed primarily for slamming and throwing movements, slam balls are best suited to upper- and lower-body strength workouts.
What are the main benefits of training with weighted fitness balls?
Fitness balls are a versatile piece of training equipment that can fit in seamlessly with a wide range of workout types: from intense, HIIT workouts to slow rehabilitation sessions; from beginner to advanced athlete. They are a great way to work on functional movements and stability and can add dynamicity to any workout.
What weight variations are available?
Slam balls 3-15kg
Medicine balls 2-10kg

What are weighted exercise balls made of?
Our slam balls are made of thick inflatable tyre thread with a filling of iron sand shavings. Our medicine balls are made of durable rubber, while our wall balls are made of soft cushioned material with a easy-clean vinyl cover.
What sizes are the balls?
Medicine and slam balls vary in size depending on their weight level. Wall balls, however, all measure the same size (35.5cm / 14”) regardless of weight variation. Please see the “specification” section of each individual product description for exact size measurements.
Is there any assembly required?
All balls come just as they are – no assembly required. The only ball that requires inflation is the Swiss exercise ball. A pump is provided with this ball for quick inflation before first use.
