Bala reviews and discussion
Reviews mention
- Chic, minimalist aesthetic design
- Durable, long-lasting construction
- Comfortable, smooth silicone finish
- Portable, travel-friendly pouches
- Limited weight range options
- Scratchy, irritating velcro closures
- Inconsistent ankle fit comfort
- Slides during vigorous workouts
Bala earns strong reviews for sleek, durable workout accessories that make low‑impact routines and daily walks more effective and more fun, but the brand divides opinion on comfort and performance at higher intensities. Reviews praise the Bangles, Bars, and Power Ring for aesthetic design, easy travel/storage, and motivating versatility, while citing limited weight ranges, velcro-related discomfort/fit issues, and occasional sliding or chafing—especially on ankles—as notable drawbacks.

I've had my Bala ankle weights for a few years, and they have really stood the test of time when it comes to high quality. They have a sleek, modern look and can be used for a lot of different workouts.
Feedback
Since they're primarily targeted for low impact, pilates-style workouts, the available weight options have a small range so they're not a product for everyone.

Customer arrive is great, the look of it is amazing but I’m notice some quality issues only when it comes to the ankle weights. They are tearing apart at the seems where the Velcro is. The weights have no issues though
Feedback
The Velcro sticking part for sure

I love my Bala bangles! I got 2 sets (one for my ankles and one for my wrists) to use during my walks
Feedback
I have noticed when I sweat they absorb it, which in theory I don’t love the idea of that. But I also know you can’t really change that.

I have the bala bangles and I love them so much. I think that they are so cute and simple and I have gotten lots of compliments while using them.
Feedback
One thing that I wish they had was a larger variety in weights.

I really enjoy these weight bands. Do I think you can find cheaper ones? Most definitely, however if you are looking to elevate your workout look and make working out fun-- then I recommend these.
Feedback
Price. Also, I know they are made of high quality materials, but I'm curious about if there are any recycled materials used or what their footprint is like?

Love these for an extra burn during pilates or yoga. So much better then hand weights and you definitely feel the burn!

Easy to incorporate into daily activities (I like wearing them around my ankles while working from home). Works well for petite wrists!
Feedback
The bars don't lay as well or close together as they show in photos. I feel like there could be at least one, maybe two, extra bars. Also would have loved to purchase a pack with a pair for the wrists and heavier pair for ankles :)

I love this brand! The look and feel is so sleek and pretty. I have the wrist weight and 2lb hand held weights. Both times I hesitated before purchase because of the price, but they are so nice looking I end up using them more than I would have a normal weight.
Feedback
Lower price option would be great.

Love incorporating Bala bangles into my yoga routine and the sleek design makes it easy wear on walks or when I run errands. They're also great gifts for friends and family.
Feedback
I wish there was a bit more padding around the weights / elastic so it doesn't cut into my ankle over time.

Bala Bangles are amazing! They offer the perfect way to get in a bit more strength while going about your errands / walks with friends etc. They also work as a great addition to workouts. Highly recommend!

The bangles are amazing. Such a great product (and excellent gift) for anyone remotely interested in fitness. I go on a lot of walks, especially while working from home, and these are terrific to add just a little weight training.

Super cute. I love the innovative design and the color choices. In terms of function - not great.
Feedback
Stronger velcro, different sizes, more weight options, better way to secure them on.
