PurpleSwan Pilates Ring/Fitness Circle - Premium Resistance Powered Full Body Toning for Pilates and Yoga (14-Inch)

Good for travel. Compact and easily packable.

This was not the metal ring like I had anticipated. This foam ring is far too soft to give strong resistance. Rather unfortunate.

Great Pilates ring. Same one I used at a Pilates studio receiving instruction. Very durable and well made. Delivery was prompt and it was packed well.

Not as described or picture. Foam covers were peeling off when I opened it. Word misspelled on the cover of packaging--satisfied spelled 'satosfied' for me all credibility is lost.

Too pliable and not enough tension. Circumference too small. I definitely do not recommend.

Purple Swan has great tools to keep your stretching and exercise routines fun, challenging and safe. I wanted something other than a yoga strap to incorporate into my leg and side stretches and this circle seemed like a good solution. It was well thought out. The ring is slightly flexible so you can use it to push against if you are trying to use your body weight for strength and toning. The padded sides of the ring allow for conforming to your body as well as give you a wider non slip surface to push or pull against. I especially like it for leg exercises where I can use it to bring my leg closer to my core or my back for flexibility training. It's uses are only limited by your imagination and being a ring certainly gives it more flexibility than a strap. It's lightweight and easy to carry with you in you need to travel with your exercise equipment. I did receive this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Since being diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I have become more conscious about my health and fitness level. As a mother of 4 children, I am always looking for great workouts I can do from home during those pockets of time between daily tasks. I had never heard of a Pilates ring before but thought it could be a great addition to my daily stretching and strengthening routine, so I decided to give it a try.The Pilates ring from PurpleSwan is quality made and can handle intense squeezing and pulling (within reason of course). The foams pads on the inner and outer portion of the ring make it comfortable to use. This ring didn't come with any instructions on how to use it so I hopped on youtube and found a few videos. I was surprised how much I can do with this little ring! My favorite exercise is to put the circle between my thighs and press together. I also like to lay on my back with the ring between my hands, arms extended and slightly pulse while lifting and lowering my legs in a reverse crunch. Killer ab workout! My oldest daughter dances classical ballet and likes to use my ring to stretch at home. I attached a few photos of her using the ring so you can see how she stretches with it. I am excited to figure out new ways to use my Pilates ring! I received this product in exchange for an honest review.
