Bala earns largely positive reviews for chic, well-made fitness accessories that make low-impact workouts and daily walks more engaging, but the brand is limited by light weight ranges and recurring comfort issues with Velcro and ankle fit. Reviews praise the Bala Bangles, Bars, and 10 lb Power Ring for sleek, colorful design, durability, and easy travel/storage, while noting sliding, scratching, and insufficient heavier options that reduce usefulness for intense training.

I looove my Bala Bangles -I've had them for a while and I originally got them to use when working out, however as of late, I use them around the house when Im doing housework to help tone up my arms and it does just the trick! - I got the pink ones because they look super cute on.

Big fan of my Bala bangles! They are super cute, and are an easy way to add a little extra spice to pilates or yoga work out. Love to wear them on my ankles on walks but also like to wear them on my wrists while working or cleaning for a little extra arm workout

I really like the look of the ankle/wrist weights and love adding them to workouts. However, within a month of buying mine the sewing hems on the Velcro of both weights ripped. The customer service let me know that they couldn’t replace or fix them because I had ordered mine on Amazon so word to the wise is buy them from the company directly.

I have the wrist weights and love adding them to my workout! I'm a powerwalker instead of a jogger/runner and I wanted to add some weight to work out my arms too. These are perfect - look great and quality that feels great!

I absolutely love all my products from Bala. I currently have the bala ankle weights, yoga mat, mat towel, yoga blocks, bands and sliding disc. Having aesthetic workout gear makes working out so much more fun. These products all work exactly how they are supposed to. The bala mat is very high quality. I have never used such a nice mat before. Forever a big bala fan!! My next purchase will be the beam bar.

I love my bala bangles. I purchased the electric blue colored ones in 1lb. I use them for walks and working out. They are so easy to use and are just the right amount of added weight. Also as someone with small ankles and wrists, these are perfect.

I just got my bala bands two days ago and I am already loving them! They are so easy to use compared to the other brands I have tried. They stay on and do not budge. I think they are definitely worth the money.

Branding is on point and quality seems to match. Intentionally designed and nice to look at. I have also used the ring and mat in group fitness classes. And have the resistance bands. I hope more products come out soon!

I am obsessed with my Bala bangles. I keep them on during the day when I’m doing tasks around the house or even at my desk when I’m working. They’re so easy to put on and also so aesthetically pleasing. I’m really happy with them and they’re definitely the best weighted bangles on the market! They also have a very convenient carrying case that fits them perfectly and isn’t bulky. Obsessed with them and recommend them to all of my friends!

I have had my pink bala weights for probably 3 years now and they are still in great shape. The elastic is still strong and the velcro still sticks perfectly. I also like the travel case that they come in!

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.

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!

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.

I wanted to love these and wear them all the time but honestly I've only worn them twice in the year I've owned them. I tried wearing them while I was doing a FIIT cardio class and they became uncomfortable but I think it was because of how fast I was moving. I think if I were to just wear them around the house or on walks I think I would use them more often. They do come in really pretty colors though!

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 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.

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.
