Balance discs no longer available?

Are the balance discs no longer available through Cathe.com or Cathe's amazon site? I have ordered directly through Amazon twice and have had to return twice due to defects. I no longer have an actual fitness brick and mortar store near me. Not sure where else to buy the discs.
 
Strange. You're correct ... it doesn't come up on a search, nor by scrolling through the equipment pages. Usually if something is out-of-stock and expected to be back - the product page says so.

I purchased one through Amazon. Prosource, I think. No issues with it so far.
 
The yoga blocks that someone was looking for don’t come up on the shop pages either
any longer.

yes, as Debinmi said, Prosource is good, I have one of those as well.

Hi Gobias,

We sold out of the balance discs. It will be several months before we have them back in stock.
 
I have two brand new balance discs and pumps and two brand new yoga blocks if anyone would like to purchase them. I'm making some changes in my life. My surgery is scheduled for December 11 and I'm having my uterus, tubes, cervix and left ovary removed. Although my doctor doesn't believe its anything cancerous, there are some things being done that are normally done to stage for cancer. She hasn't told me this, but I Googled what "peritoneal washing" is and its where the put saline solution in the peritoneal cavity to look for cancer cells. I pray that its not and I've had this condition under surveillance for 5 years and there's never been anything that hinted at malignancy, including two panels of tumor markers. I'm looking at a 6-8 week recovery and even after that, it still takes time for the body to heal on the inside. My goal is to find work as a CNA and now I'm not sure how that's going to work as being a CNA is non-stop on your feet, sometimes 12 hour shifts, lots of physical work and right now I need to get back to work as soon as I can. There's also the uncertainty about the situation with my house as the note is due in full, to the tune of 500K on January 1. My husband says he can file Chapter 13 bankruptcy by himself and put off a foreclosure for a year. I get scared to think about being 3 weeks post op and not having a place to live. When I visited my mom and stepdad for my birthday, they have set up a spare room with a day bed in case I need to stay with them. I would need help getting my things out as I can't lift anything heavy for 6 weeks, heavy as in 10 pounds. Its gut wrenching to think about because I would have to leave Luca behind. But somewhere I have to draw the line and losing the house is that line. Its not like there was illness or something that caused us to fall behind on payments. It was my husband chasing after this Philippine gold fantasy and not wanting me to work. A few days ago, I cancelled my Lift, Move, Restore preorder and have been doing Pvolve because its tough but doesn't leave me wiped out. Its funny how your mental and emotional state can affect your workout because last summer, I was pumping weights and blasting through STS 2.0 rotations and now I'm just glad to keep moving everyday. If anyone wants to buy the balance discs and yoga blocks please PM me. Thank you.

I just ordered 2 from Prosource on Amazon. They were on a black friday sale.
 
I bought a ProSource Fit one from Amazon, no problem with the disc, the little pump wasn't worth a hoot....
the needle(s) broke, so I just went to Walmart and bought a little set of needle pins (different sizes) and
used with the pump I already had. The little set of needles was like $2.00 or so.

I bought some on Amazon but they were not Cathe's. They had several to choose from.

This is why I am leery of ordering through Amazon.

Did you buy a Prosource version?

I bought ProSourceFit a total of 4 times. I made 4 returns! I figured there was a large number in a bad batch that was made; even though I ordered a different color every time. I then waited several weeks and ordered a 5th disc. This 5th disc is OK. It does have a divot on the sidewall, but may be usable. I have kept the box in hopes Cathe's would become available before my return window at Amazon ends.

I ordered a single Cathe disc back when she released them, I just didn't know 2 would be used in her new series. I finally read some reviews on the discs and there are a ton in my buying time-frame who have the same divot issue. Not sure if their molding changed or what....

At least Amazon has fairly easy returns.
 
I got mine from Amazon and inflated them. They both have a slight dimple on the side wall, but it's not a big deal for me. Inflating them was a breeze and I am very happy with my purchase. I've tried them out a few times to get the feel for them before I start using the new series.

Yeah, mine looked like Pac-Man. Not an exaggeration. I finally looked at the reviews during my buying time frame and it happened - a lot. This 5th one seems to be OK, even with a small divot.

One is maybe the size of a nickle and the other a dime. So I'm not at all concerned about it. Clearly they are not as bad as your Pac-Man one!!!
 
I ordered two ProSource discs back in June from Amazon and both are perfectly fine. I inflated them and they are good. I may have to inflate a little more but the price was right and didn't have to pay for shipping.
