Wrist Assured Gloves Pro Style-Gel Padded Gloves, Workout Gloves with Wrist Support, Yoga Gloves, Pilates Gloves

I take 3/4 yoga and Pilates classes weekly. Arthritis in my hands has always required that I modify exercises with weight on my thumbs/wrists. These gloves are amazing. I now participate in full plank work and have been able to eliminate need for any modifications. And, am working muscles that haven’t been engaged due to modifications.

At first I thought they were too tight as they were a bit of a struggle to pull on, but once I got them on and started flexing my fingers, they seemed to have a bit of give. They do pull at the bottoms of fingers a bit during yoga, but I found if I just adjust my hand position a little bit, it takes the pressure off. They made a HUGE difference in my ability to do down-dog or plank positions; I couldn't do them at all without excruciating pain before these, and now, while not 100% pain-free, it is at a very manageable level (like 10%). I highly recommend these for folks with arthritis like me. I'm not sure if going to a medium would be better, as I'd worry they'd actually slide around and the gel part wouldn't be where I needed it. I've always worn size small gloves, so I think this is the right size. I haven't machine washed them, though they say you can; I think I'll just handwash to make sure they don't wear out too fast.

I have carpel tunnel syndrome and weak wrists and use these gloves for support during yoga. The padding and support feels great in the palms of my hands (not so much in the wrists) and they work well for most poses except for downward-facing dog. That pose requires you to push your hands down and slightly forward/away into the mat. The material between the fingers of the gloves doesn't have much give and gets pulled back very tight, cutting into the webbing between my fingers. After a few seconds in that pose, it becomes too painful and I have to stop. If there was more give in the material between the fingers, that might help.These gloves are also great for traction if your hands tend to get sweaty during yoga.

Helps keep good form doing yoga poses like downward dog and handstands Seems to be made of good quality material. Had to take a star off because the fit is a bit off. After you've used it for a little while in a class, it bunches up at the base of the fingers. I carefully selected the size I needed. Perhaps someone with slightly thicker fingers won't have that problem. I'd like to get another pair to see, but they are pretty expensive. If the fit were a bit better, it would be worth the money because it does feel like it protects the wrist.

I bought these gloves for wrist pain during yoga. Although they did reduce my overall wrist discomfort and provided extra grip during poses I have to give them one star because after a short period in downward dog, the gloves started digging into the space between my fingers. Halfway through class I had to take them off because they actually pierced my skin due to the material digging in between my fingers. Unfortunately it's passed the return window otherwise I would return them.

These gloves fit well, and now I can do exercises like Yoga, Pilates, & Barre, and not have the wrist pain that kept me from doing these activities. I will say only one negative things about these gloves ... because my yoga mat is super grippy, there are times that my hands will slide a little bit on the inside of the gloves, just slightly though. However, I would highly recommend these gloves, just the same.

These gloves have given me my practice back. I recently began doing intensive hand-balancing poses and core workouts that involve load bearing on the wrists (check out Brian Aganad's core exercises to get a press handstand-- they're awesome, and Brian is such a great writer and motivator!). It seems my wrists are a weak spot for me, so even though I'm a super healthy, fit 20 year old, I developed a mild/moderate case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome a few days after starting this practice. I stopped doing practice for a week, and my wrists felt better and the carpal tunnel went away. But as soon as I began practicing again, CTS crept back in and gave me a significant amount of pain. (Part of this problem could also be a weak core that is not supporting my weight enough and is dropping it into the wrists... but I still needed a solution that would allow me to reach a stronger core to improve my practice).I searched online for a support solution and liked the look and function of these gloves the best, versus something that is not in glove form like Yoga Jellies. I have exceptionally small hands, and on the size chart it appeared my hand lined right up with the X-small size, maybe a hair over. I decided to go up with the size Small, and I'm glad I did. They fit really nicely. I posted pictures of my hands on a measured cutting mat so you could see how the sizing worked out.The first day I tried them I felt a huge difference. No longer would I recoil my wrists after every hand-balancing posture; I could come out of them and feel just fine, with no need to counter-stretch my wrists after each attempt/exercise. I still have to be careful about over-doing it with my wrists, but these gloves have made it possible for me to keep practicing, build strength, and do what I love. And for that I am so grateful! I don't go out of my way to write reviews, let alone take pictures for one, but I feel so moved to share the success I have had with these gloves. Worth every penny. I cringed at the cost at first but it was totally worth it. Give them a try!

These used to be awesome exercise gloves. I have weak wrists and not very much padding on my hand. This is what these gloves were designed for, but I can no longer recommend them. There is so much padding at the base of your fingers, that I can no longer grab onto weights and they feel very claustrophobic. I HAVE SMALL HANDS AND I CAN BARELY GET THEM ON AND OFF. Too bad for me, I was recommending them to all my freinds. NO MORE!!!

I first got the Ultra style but the wrist strap was too tight for me so i went for this version now and i can only say that it helps a lot!!! i cannot believe how many things i can do now!! I have always been having problems with my wrists for the last 10 years because i am a hairdresser and all that time i couldn't workout like i wanted to,this def makes it so much better,i don't feel that much pain and pressure in my wrists anymore...i use them for pilates,body balance,weight lifting,and yes:push-ups!!! the only issue is that in some positions the gloves get into the places between my fingers and hurts a bit but i can get over that!

Excellent! So glad I bought them, the other reviews really helped as I went for the ones without a thick wrist band. Personal choice as I didn't want them too tight and these are adjustable. Really do help....Love them.

These gloves are just what I was looking for! I have had carpal tunnel surgery on both of my hands and found that certain Yoga positions really hurt my hands. Since having these it has made my classes much more easier and takes the pressure off of my hands.

These gloves really make the difference for my wrists when doing yoga poses which normally put stress on them. I am also using blocks ... but these gloves are definitely a must have.

I needed extra support for my fitness classes as my thumb joints are very sore and the thicker padding on the palms of these gloves make it much more comfortable to do the floor work I have been struggling with.
