Ultra-Fit Circle Mini

I love this Pilates ring. It is durable and well made. The edges are soft and very comfortable to hold and squeeze, either in my hands or between my calves. I can do on my own all the exercies that I do in my Pilates class. I love it! I really feel like I'm strengthening my muscles.

Love my Pilates Ultra Fit Circle Body Ring. It us sturdily built & will help speed my recovery from a hip replacement surgery

This Pilates ring is just like the one I use in class! It’s great quality and allows for a good workout. Definitely worth the price.

It’s a quality Pilates tool! It seems durable and with just the right amount of give.

I spent hours looking through reviews on various types of magic circles before choosing this one and I'm glad I did. It's well constructed, feels sturdy, and the pads are solidly affixed to the ring. The cushioning around the actual metal ring is soft and pliable. The few I was able to find in stores were very cheaply made, flimsy and of overall poor quality (nothing name brand in the stores I went to; it's astonishing how difficult it is to find these in sporting good stores near me!). I only have two gripes with it, and both could just be the result of poor memory regarding magic circles (it has been years since I took an actual class, so I'm basing my opinion entirely on memory of professional products used in class that might not have been as good as I recall). My first gripe is that I thought it would have more tension/resistance in the actual ring. I feel like I remember them being harder to actually squish. That said, my first few workouts with this ring satisfied me that this ring provides enough resistance for an effective workout. My second gripe is that my ring seems less a circle and more an oval, not by much, and not enough to affect whether the product is effective, since the slightly oblong shape occurs in the two "corners" of the ring that do not contain the pads, so that part of the ring is pushed to that shape during its use anyway. Again, though, it's very possible they all have a slightly irregular shape that I've just not noticed before. Either way, the product does what it should and seems sturdy enough for home usage. The padding makes it comfortable to hold, and I expect it will withstand normal usage. As of this writing (Aug 2014) I have only owned it a short time, so I will edit this review should my prediction not hold true. This can be purchased directly from the manufacturer, but shipping costs are higher when purchasing direct instead of through Amazon.

Good studio build quality. Useful for trunk rotations on reformer and mat Pilates core work. It provides enough shape to guide my form and enough flex to challenge my stability. I like the inner and outer padded handles — for push and pull in mat work. I’m sure I’ll find more applications in time! The free instructional video stream at Balanced Body’s website is great. They don’t push DVDs anymore.

The ring is very solid. Works well!

What a great Pilates ring this is! Can be used in multiple ways, with the reformer, mat or just for stretches each time they are needed. Wonderful quality, the resistance is very good compared to a previous ring I have which was very weak. Great buy!

ミニリング大好き。

Great toning/strenthening!

初めて購入させて頂きました！ これから頑張って使用します。

リングの反発力が弱すぎず丁度良い感じなので、少し頑張って扱えるくらいなのでちゃんと負荷がかかってる様に感じられて良かったです パッドもしっかりめに付いてるので安心です

When I am focused on using the “mini” for a workout I feel it. Great addition to my workouts.
