3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad pilates ring, but there are better., January 15, 2010

This type of ring isn't as good as some others with the fiberglass(?) ring style as opposed to this which is foam. The handles here are just a change of fabric, not as clear inside/outside grips that make pilates style exercises so much more beneficial. The price is right though, better than the fiberglass styles. I prefer the other style, though this price was better ($15 as opposed to $25-30) and may not be bad to start with if price is an large factor in your buying decision.

The ring very easy and comfortable to use and the associated video is a good introduction. The only negative is it is lightweight in terms of the resistance; would have like a more challenging ring. Great price from Amazon, $5 cheaper than at the Gaiam site.

2.0 out of 5 stars Spend the extra money, February 14, 2010

This review is from: Gaiam Pilates Toning Ring Kit (Sports)

I bought this product thinking it would be a good at-home option when I didn't go to Pilates class. This version doesn't offer half the resistance of a "real" fitness circle and therefore the workout you get from it is only subpar. I wish I would have spent the extra money to get a better circle and a better workout initially.
