I bought these gloves to use with Chalene Johnson's "Turbo Jam" workouts, in lieu of the more expensive Turbo Jam weighted gloves. They work perfectly for my purpose, and I love the fit and feel of them. I have very small wrists, and the velcro-wrap design makes it easy to get them snug.

Some people prefer a glove with an open palm, because these do get sweaty during a hard workout, but I like having something to grip in my fist when I'm punching and kicking.

Note: the "sizes" 4 and 6 do not refer to the actual fit of the glove, but the amount of weight. Size 4 = 1 lb each (2 lb. pair), and size 6 = 1.5 lbs. each (3 lb. pair). I have the size 4 and they are heavy enough for me, but I am a 100-lb. girl.

I received the weighted gloves yesterday and tried them on. They are comfortable and do not feel like they are about to fall off, like another brand I had purchased in the past. I like the fact that it goes around your wrist and you can adjust how tight or loose you want it. I would recommend this.

They don't feel like they are going to fall off when you are punching like some other gloves (my class uses Everlast). However, I didn't realize before I bought these how important an open palmed glove is. Your hands sweat a lot more with these and it's difficult to use weighted bars because there is weight right on the palm of your hand. Overall, I wish I had gone with the open palmed variety.

I use the 6, 1.5 pound per hand, for my Turbo Jam workouts and they are perfect! I love the grip on them & I love the way they fit!
I just wanted to say, too, that it IS okay to wash them in the washing machine & they WILL need it :) Mine were becoming pretty stout from using them every day & sweating so I washed them, afraid they might mess up, but they were fantastic and fresh!
I recommend these gloves!

I like them they get the job done and that is all that matters! I can't clasp my hands together b/c the weight is gathered in the palms of my hand, but I got over it...

These weighted gloves are great! The quality is excellent and I love the fit. The material is soft and holds up well. One note, the size you pick determines the weight. Size 4 are 1 lb. and size 6 are 1.5 lbs. Far better quality than those sold on BeachBody .com.

I've been using these weighted gloves for about a month now and I absolutely love them! I've bought several gloves before and I just couldn't work out with them, they were either to bulky or would keep sliding off my wrist. I use these gloves for all my Turbo Jam work outs and also for Tae Bo and they work great. I have the number 6 witch is 1.5 lbs, its enough weight for me to be able to jump up and do all those turbos without being to heavy or sliding off. They securely wrap around your wrist and over your hand so no matter if you have big or small hands you can adjust them to fit snug. These are the best gloves I've used and they really help you get a great work out. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to intensify there work out.

I love the gloves, I use them for my Turbo Jams workouts and they do the job

Good quality at great price. Easy to put on and the velcro bands make them fit snugly on my hands. When working out, they feel right and make my workouts very enjoyable even at 1.5 pounds of weight.

I love these weighted gloves. Unlike others I've owned I find the design of these gloves to be comfortable, and they stay in place with two velcro wraps.

These particular gloves are a bit heavier than most - which is what I want.

Putting an extra pound and a half at the end of each arm while working out is an excellent way to add resistance. You could walk or run, shadow box, practice kata, etc, with these.

Martial artists will find wearing these while practicing techniques will help build speed and power.
