Bala reviews and discussion

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

I fell in love with bala’s equipment at my local studio, so much that I built my own at home gym from bala. Everything is colorful, cute and aesthetically pleasing—while being proper weights for a great pilates workout or any other activity. As a Pilates instructor, I adore everything from bala.

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.

Great ankle weights

Recently bought the ankle/wrist weights as a gift, and really loved the sleek look of it! Would recommend for people who are looking to add a few workout accessories to their routine that aren't super bulky but will still help you on your fitness journey.

I loooove the bala bangles!! I’m a Pilates novice, but have found these so easy to use on either wrists or ankles for any workout- walking, too! They add just enough weight to intensify your exercise without overdoing it. The colors are cute too

I love my Bala bangles & pilates resistance bands! I have my eye on the matching mat. I appreciate the simplicity and vibe of the products, they are so easy to use and visually pleasing. I do find the price point to be high, but the quality and esthetic is there for me to pay the price point, since I won’t have to replace any workout gear again.

Wanted to love the bangles but I found them to be very scratchy. Something in how the Velcro rests on the skin creates a friction that is felt with each movement. I sold them sadly as they just didn’t feel comfortable no matter what I did to adjust them.

I was gifted a set of this last year. Sleek, comfortable, and stylish for my walks. I love them. They don't slip around and not too heavy. Plus, I have the pink color and fun. They also come with a nice zip pouch case for storage. They are great for travel too. Great Gift.

I got these Bangles as a gift from my husband and I absolutely love them! They are super practical for exercising — easy to use and comfortable, but still effective. The quality feels great and durable, and on top of that, they look really cute, which makes me even more motivated to wear them.

I got the weighted bangles for my gf a year ago and she loves them. I'll admit I've worn them a few times myself :). They look good and are comfortable. More so than some others I've tried. I did have a problem with them being backlogged originally but the CX team helped me out!

I have had my Bala bangles for years and I use them ALL THE TIME (they are still in great shape!). My favorite way to use them is to spice up a Pilates or Barre workout on Peloton. High quality and versatile!

Comprei os pesos de pulso da Bala e fiquei surpreendida com a qualidade e o design. São confortáveis, não escorregam durante o treino e dão um toque extra de intensidade sem atrapalhar os movimentos. Além de funcionais, são lindos — dá até vontade de treinar mais! O preço é um pouco mais alto, mas vale cada euro pela durabilidade e estilo.

I got the bala bands right before they redesigned them. The first version works great, but the velcro gets a bit uncomfortable after a while. I'd be interested in trying the updated version.

Aesthetically, these are hands down the cutest hand and ankle weights out there. They look so cute - not weird at all to wear them out and about. Yes, they were a bit more expensive than other weighted brands, but I felt like it would be worth it. Why I am giving it 3/5 stars- they were incredibly uncomfortable for me. They were too large for my wrists (I do have tiny wrists) and they were painful on my ankles. I'm kind of bony, so that's probably why. I'm glad to see they're comfortable for other people!

I coveted these since seeing women wearing them in my Pure Barre classes. I was lucky enough to be gifted two sets of the 2-pound weights by family for my birthday. I chose the tan/nude color and two-sets so I could wear them on my ankles and wrists both in classes and during neighborhood walks. At first, you feel really awkward wearing them and have to adjust your movements to not overcompensate, but within minutes you easily are able to focus on your natural movements while feeling the light additional weight. They are comfortable and being a petite person I was worried they wouldn't fit, but the wrap around velcro is plenty so they are snug. They come in a cute mesh zipper carrying case and are easy to put on and take off. While they are quite expensive compared to other brands, they definitely are the sleekest and most minimal. I try to keep them out of the sun and getting exposed to any chemicals/liquids (like pool water or lotion) so I can preserve the look and their finish as best as possible. They cost a premium, but they are worth it.

Is it even a hot girl walk if you don’t have your bala bangles on? Attractive, comfortable, trendy. Adds an extra little arm workout to any walk. I love them, but I do think they are over priced
