Bala reviews and discussion

I find the wrist/ankle weights easy to put on and fun to use! I like that they easily wrap on and come off easily. They’re great to use during Pilates or walking on the treadmill/outside. The colors and collabs bala offers are just a plus.

I have had my set of pink bala bangles for about 5 years now. I usually wear them on my ankles when walking the dogs or doing house/yardwork. The extra weight ups the light workout. My legs feel it and are more toned! They are comfortable, convenient and durable. Highly recommend!

I got the weighted arm/ankle bracelets to do workouts from home and they really helped me make it feel like I was doing a bit more. They are comfortable and look nice enough that I don’t mind leaving them out.

obsessed with the smooth touch feel on these, they never irritate my skin. great to add a little extra weight on the wrists or ankles during a workout. easy to wipe clean and have held up well for years.

Bala bangles have been great for my training as a runner and biker because I can wear them on weighted walks. I do find them a little uncomfortable if they’re not positioned on my ankles correctly. I would also wonder if these come in different straps or sizes to wear and to make more inclusive!

Love these bands! The set comes with a zippered case and can be stored neatly. There are 3 levels of resistance so I can really cater to the needs of my body. The material is high quality and contains nonslip grip on the inside for a comfortable and effective workout. I use these for Pilates or just strength movements to build my core and tone my arms and legs. My 8yo also uses these to help with his internal/external hip rotation. They are incredibly useful and versatile!

I think it’s absolutely sweeping the nation!! it’s such a game changer when you’re doing a workout class or just a general activity that you want to add a little something to improve the workout. I love it.

I love these Bala wrist bangles. I’ve tried a couple different brands. However, these are the most comfortable. They really stay on your wrist and ankles while working out without feeling uncomfortable because of the rounded edges of the weights.

I ordered the Bala Bangles and bands through a Thingdrop, and they’ve been a great addition to my daily routine. What I like: - They’ve encouraged me to try quick at-home workouts during lunch breaks or other moments when I normally wouldn’t have time. - Both the bangles and bands feel really well made and come beautifully packaged. I especially love the soft feel of the bangles. - The mesh storage pouches are a nice touch. - Bala’s website is helpful, with lots of ideas for how to use the products. What I didn’t love: - Shipping to Europe was very slow. - They’re on the pricey side - I probably wouldn’t have bought them at full price, but with the Thingdrop discount they felt like a good deal.

I love the aesthetic of the weights I have from them. I have both the 1 lb bangles and 2 lb bangles as well as the 10 lb ring. I find them really easy to use and high quality.

I took the plunge on a Bala Beam and they are beautiful and easy to use! I also really appreciate the quality of the products, color selection, and the extra rope provided with the jump rope! However, they ARE pricey for the aesthetic and are absolutely not required to break a sweat or get a workout in.

I am really loving my Bala bands. They close tight so they don't get in the way and I wear them while doing chores or going on walks. They do kind of hurt a bit on my ankles after awhile so I wouldn't mind more padding there. I would probably want heavier weights in the next purchase.

So glad I got the 1lb bangles over the 2lb. I was concerned it wouldn't be enough, but it certainly is. I wear them mostly on my ankles while on walks or playing tennis. Landed on the sage color and love 'em. Mostly just bummed I didn't come up with the idea myself. Really quite a genius product. Interested in trying the beam next!

I tried these out at a hot pilates class where we used the mat, the ring, and the ankle weights and I loved especially the ring so much that I had to buy it for my home workouts. I also got the bangles to use them on my wrists during runs as I lack shoulder and arm strength and I feel like 1lbs is the perfect weight to add. The reason I loved the ring so much was because it seemed extremely versatile compared to a regular dumb bell - we did so many different exercises with it that I found fun and engaging. I also got the bands, the large bands, and the sliders because I trust bala as a brand overall and after trying the bands already I am happy I did so - they seem way more sturdy than my other elastic bands and are thicker, too, so they don't slide up as much. Maybe I'll end up buying the pilates ball as well, we will see. I also like that they have a mama line and have considered getting it for pregnant friends but we will see :)

The Power Ring is a nice addition to my workout gear. The color looks great and it feels well-made and functional, though not exactly a game-changer. It does come in only one weight (10lb) and seems to be making its way off of the product lineup but the products all seem to be built well with the same smooth silicone coating.

I am absolutely thrilled with my recent purchase of the Bala Bangles and Power Ring. As someone dedicated to longevity and strength, these have been a phenomenal addition to my Tonal setup, truly elevating my workouts in a way I didn't expect. The bangles are so versatile and comfortable, adding a subtle but effective resistance to Tonal’s dynamic and mobility movements. I use them during warm-ups, core work, and even some lighter Tonal sessions to increase the intensity and challenge my muscles in a new way. It's a seamless way to enhance my routine and push toward my strength and weight loss goals. The Power Ring is a game-changer. It’s incredibly well-designed and perfect for exercises that require stability and a different grip than traditional dumbbells. I've found it fantastic for core work, squats, and various presses. This duo helps me get the most out of every workout and supports my overall health goals. The high-quality design and performance of both products make them a perfect fit for my philosophy of investing in cost-effective, high-performance equipment. They look great, feel great, and have delivered incredible results. This is exactly the kind of scientifically-backed, proven addition I was looking for to enhance my home gym. A definite five-star purchase! I couldn't be happier 💪🏻 💕

I love my Bala weights. They’re cute, functional, and easy to use! Their carrying case also allows me to use them while travelling, which has been a plus. The grip and design is excellent as well!

Just ordered these for myself and my mom and I love them! I’ve been fully embracing the nerdy power walk trend by wearing these on my arms when I go on my daily walks. I’ve also been using them to double up on weight for strength training or doing 12-3-30. They don’t rub or irritate your skin when you’re sweaty and they are pretty comfortable!

Bala Bangles and Bands are undeniably aesthetic and fun to have around. I love how unique they are, but I don’t reach for them much since I mostly work out outside the house now. If you work out at home (especially Mat Pilates) and want to add some resistance or remember to wear them on walks (clearly, this has escaped me, too), I recommend grabbing some. Overall: stylish, well-made, and great for gentle added resistance, but usefulness depends on your routine and habits.

These items are just gorgeous. I ordered a set to work out at home because I don't like gyms. Actually, I don't like most at-home workout equipment either. If you don't want to exercise, doing it with unappealing equipment just makes it that much harder. These times feel like I'm at a posh resort or maybe in a museum. I'm motivated to use these pretty pieces. The quality couldn't be better and the design aesthetic actually looks like home decor. I got the sand color which is very Zen and relaxing to the eye. My favorite piece is probably the Bala Beam because it's fun to use and a great medium weight for me. I have no negatives. The customer support was fantastic as well. Glad I finally indulged!
