Bala reviews and discussion

Unlike the clunky velcro weights, these Bala Bangles actually stay put during Pilates and don't chafe. They're aesthetically pleasing, which makes me more likely to use them consistently.

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.

Cool Design.

the easiest way to add some weight while doing pilates or even walking. I use weighted bangles for the majority of my workouts! definitely recommend!

Keywords: chique & functional. . I feel like the look and feel while I'm on a walk. They are such a geek for beautiful clean colorways and a sleek design and they nail it on both fronts. Functionally - gives me just enough extra weight to feel the burn, which is greatly appreciated.

I have the pink Bala free weights and I adore them. Not only are they super cute, but they are also ergonomically designed to evenly distribute the weight while being used. They are super easy to clean and they also come with a black mesh carrying case, which I also really appreciate.

i love bala! their items are super aesthetically pleasing and i think they've revolutionized the workout game in that regard. only reason they get 4 stars instead of 5 is because the price point is a bit high

I have had my rainbow bala ankle weights for years now. While they usually weren’t the most comfortable things to wear, they were not painful like I find them to be now. I am ashamed to admit that I bought these bala ankle weights for aesthetic reasons and not for practical ones. I would not recommend doing the same thing.

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.

Honestly cant say Ive ever seen workout accessories look so cute, they can even be out on the shelf! The ankle weights (I have the older version) are a little uncomfortable but if I wear them over socks or leggings they're fine, and kind of fun to just wear around the house! I have the ring and dumbells as well, which I love both of, and I appreciate how dynamic the ring can be for different types of exercises. Im not a super fitness-y person so cant attest to how they compare to other weights as Ive never had any others besides a random tiny 3lb plastic covered dumbell but I like these!

Pretty colors and very cool, but honestly less comfortable than I expected especially for the price. The bands have really good strong velcro but it kind of hurts to have on bare skin for me personally. I have also liked using their weigh bars in classes too!

Have the bars, bangles, and power ring. They’re cute and pretty easy to store. Love that the bangles and bars come with a little carrying case. They look better than some equipment when left out. I like wearing my bangles around the house when doing laundry, cooking, etc.

They are so stylish. They are soft and easy to break a sweat in.

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.

As a brand, I’d recommend! I like their bangles, although I used the communal ones at Y3 in NYC recently and they kept kept falling off of me and others, leading me to think that they won’t last forever…? The Velcro kind of just stops working and it gets so distracting in your workout when they keep falling off- I ended up just taking them off! My set at home works great though, I guess I just haven’t put in the hours yet to break them…

I love my Bala bangles. They're very cute, no qualms! The price is high and you can probably find similar ones on Temu for less than a quarter of the price, but my personal perspective on fitness gear is that the more you invest in fitness gear/service, the more you'll use them, so I'm willing to do it. Moreover, you probably won't have to repurchase these. They're good quality and will last - the velcro on mine is intact and I've used them once a week for at least 2 years. One recommendation though is for them to list the weight on the bangles. I literally have no clue how much the ones I have weigh anymore (unless I'm completely missing it, but I cannot find it written anywhere, which I find strange). I also have the ball, which was a gift and came with a hand pump. Not gonna lie, it took me more time than I'd like to admit to figure out how to inflate the ball, because it did not come with directions and I'm inept. As someone new to pilates, it would have been nice to receive instructions because I think I inflated it too much, and it's meant to be inflated around 80%, and now I have no idea how to deflate it. I'd recommend Bala products as a nice gift for your fitness friend, if you can afford it! (that friend is me ... I've got my eye on the Beam!)

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!

Their marketing is great, because these really are just wrist and ankle weights. That said, they are so pretty, and fit very comfortable. I have had them for a few years, and they have lasted and still look good.

I use some of the Bala equipment in my physio sessions - I don't know the product names but they're the ankle weights and the weighted bar. They have such a nice texture, and are really good to workout with. The ankle weights velcro around and they're very comfortable to wear. The bar has a bend in it that conforms comfortably to your body and it's a good alternative to add weight to an exercise as opposed to hand weights.
