  • 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.

    Feedback

    Wish the company would start making more heavier weights than the 3 lbs.

  • 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!

    Feedback

    a little pricey, but I wear them at least a few times a week so worth it.

  • 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!

  • I love the aesthetic of the brand and products! It makes you want to work out and move your body. Obviously if you need heavier weight, this brand wont work but if you want lighter weights and looking to tone it's overpriced but great!

    Feedback

    Some of the colors are not accurate depending on the product you choose. I had “Sand” and after spending $300+, all of the products were drastically different as they were tan, tan-orange, tan-pink so I returned them and got all black.

  • What happens when fashion marries fitness accessories? Bala. I have 3lb bar weights, 1lb bangles and resistance bands. Their innovative design makes the pieces a pleasure to have laying around.

    Feedback

    I think Bala should move into the apparel sector next because I’d like to see how they would redesign gym clothes.

  • I loveeee my beam! I use this in place of dumbbells all the time. Being in a studio apartment, this is perfect because it is so easy to store. It's a great gift as well.

  • I love Bala. It was really helpful with getting a little extra in my workout. I could really feel the difference. I also love the look and the soft texture on the outside.

    Feedback

    They have a little scratchy part on the inside but I think that's just because I have small wrists. Overall great product.

  • I like the aesthetic look of the Bala Bangles. As well as, how easy they are to put on and take off! I emailed Bala for some help with their website, and was helped right away. Their representative provided excellent customer service.

    Feedback

    I've stopped wearing my Bala bangles on my wrists because there is a scratchy part of the velcro that scratches my arm. Now I only wear them over my long socks. When I wore them over my socks, I noticed some wear/pull on my socks presumably due to the scratchy velcro part. If there is some way to reduce the scratchy part of the velcro, that would be awesome. I really like the aesthetics of the Bala Bangles. If the velcro scratchy issue could be resolved in future bangles, I would love to see 5 lbs. ankle weights made by Bala.

  • Love these! Originally bought online bc the color I wanted was sold out and then went to the Bala pop up in SoHo. Amazing experience, so cute and creative and staff was so friendly. I wear my 2lb weights all around the city and already feel like it’s improved the muscle tone in my legs, upper thighs and butt :)

    Feedback

    Would like to see weights larger than 2lbs

  • Super! Me he cmprado el Power Ring 5 kg. Lo he comprado por recomendación de amigos. Diseño y packaging muy cuidados. Me encanta tener herramientas para entrenar diferentes y con atención al diseño. El tacto suave es de otro planeta.

    Feedback

    Solo una sugerencia! Si entrenas como un Pro en el gimnasio eso no es para ti. Hay poco peso y no son adaptables o de facil incremento de peso.

  • I've always wanted to find a brand with fitness gear that was aesthetically pleasing. I love the look and feel of Bala products. They have a variety of color options as well. I wish there were some more weight options.

    Feedback

    I wish the weights weren't so expensive and the velcro on the arm/ankle weights was a little stronger.

  • I wear the 1 lb weights around each wrist when I do water aerobics and I love them. They do not seem to mind getting wet and are still going strong after two years of use.

    Feedback

    The 1 lb weights are perfect as they are. I would like to see them come out with 2 lb weights.

  • The original wrist weights that started such a trend. I love the colors. I love the idea. I love the convenience. My only complaints are the price and the Velcro can get itchy.

  • Overpriced weighs but they are quite stylish. I received mine for free, I forget what membership I had at the time, but super cute. Wouldn't buy a whole collection of things.

  • They are so fun! Much nicer than other wearable weights I've had throughout my life, plus a lot more comfortable.

  • Bala was out to impress since its debut on Shark Tank and continuously surpasses my expectations. I love the look, feel & materials used across their products and personally love the aesthetic they've created online. If you love to travel and want something that can fit in your carry on, look no further!

  • Fun accessory to add to walks or Pilates. Wish the lighter colors were easier to clean and these came in heavier weights. They’re pricey and I’m not sure there’s much of a difference between Bala and Amazon brand. If you’re on the fence, go with the cheaper option.
