Pilates Ring - 14 Inch Fitness Magic Circle, Exercise Toning Resistance Circle, Thigh Toner, Dual Grip Ring by Yogalo Pilates Series

As a Pilates instructor, I am always on the hunt for high quality equipment. This ring is by far the best I have ever used. Firstly, these weigh so little which makes them ideal for travelling (I freelance as well as work in studio so often have to lug equipment around). Second, these are incredibly comfortable to use. So many Pilates circles use really hard foam or have no padding at all, but this one has lovely cushiony foam, and seeing as the circle itself it so light, you don't have to worry about it gripping against your skin - all your attention is going into your exercise, and not focusing on whether the ring is slipping away etc. Will be purchasing more of these soon. Awesome product!

This is a great set if you want to add something new to your workout options. I bought a Pilates ring previously, which broke immediately upon use. I taped it together and it would work fine for a while, then the tape would weaken and fall apart again. I finally got sick of that and threw it away. This Pilates ring is fabulous and so much better, both in style and quality. It feels very sturdy. I love the style of the handles and prefer that over the contoured plastic ones that, truthfully, are not very comfortable to use. These are super comfortable and easy to use whether you are using it for legs or arms. The exercise bands are high quality, and even though you only get three (most sets come with 5), I think that would be all you need. The ball is also high quality. The set only comes with instructions on how to use the ring, so you have to get creative with the ball. I don’t use it much, but it does add some extra variety to my workouts when I do use it. With a set like this, you kind of feel like you are getting a little more for your money.

I could not decide between this one and another brand so I bought both. I was concerned the round grips on this would not be as good as the flat-sided grips I saw on the other brand. But I was also concerned the flat grip would hurt the palms of my hands (which it kind of did). So I tried both of them and feel this one is a little sturdier with more resistance. So between the two, this one wins. The only thing I wish came in the box (as did the other Ring) is a poster with a description and drawing of various exercises in columns of beginner, intermediate, and advanced. I know there is information included with this purchase that can be found on their website, but I just found a ready-made poster is more convenient and helpful to those of us who have no idea what to do. But this Ring gets 5 stars. Seller is friendly as well.

I'm a 71 year old man who 10years ago suffered a severe stroke. Through the help of two great hospitals, great MD's, RN's, Rehab and Occupation Therapist, and my wife survived. At the time of the stroke, I weighed 270 pounds at 6' tall. I now weigh 175 pounds. I walk, have a concept 2 indoor rower, an in ground swimming pool which now my grandsons when they visit and my wife and I swim in in the summer. I also lift weights (not as heavy as when I was a younger man, but with strict form and constant tension through the movement, I use the Pilates ring as another means of my workout. I am very impressed with your company and your follow through on how the order was, any questions, etc. Tom Hoitink

The product was nicely and compactly packaged in a beautiful commercial box (as you might see at a store) which was put inside an Amazon box. I live this set-everything I needed with clear instructions. I have had them Three days and I am so happy- they are easy to use and strong….Now, a week later, I am using them regularly…love this set!
