This is a place you dream of. I am very new to the sport. I am getting involved because I have a lot of time on my hands and frankly am bored to tears. I want to get going, but slowly. Mike totally made me feel at ease. He agreed let's start with shoes and a wrist guard and nothing else. Due to my disability I have a tight budget. I also deal with chronic pain so I must be careful on how much I lift. This of course will play into the ball I buy. He didn't try to talk me into anything else. He pointed out I should just go and have fun first. After I learn more then I can buy a ball. So many places want the sale..... he cares if you come back. His place is small but what he has is all very nice. I was surprised when the time does come for a ball you can get something very nice for under 200. I don't know how good or serious I will get. But either way he is the man to deal with.
