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.

I have many Balanced Body products and this ring is the excellent quality I expect from them. I incorporate the ring into my mat or reformer practice every day. It's pretty much a required prop. I do wish it had a bit more resistance, but maybe I'm just getting stronger! In any case, it works like it should and I like it a lot.

Great, BB products are one of the best in the market. BB magic circle is well made and sturdy, something I’m quite used to at the studio

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.

I have always bought Aero Magic Circles but decided to try Balanced Body as I own and teach on their Reformers. I really like it a lot. It is comfortable in the hands or between the ankles. The spring is a good tension and I believe it will last a good long time. I use it at least 3-4 times a week. I love teaching Mat and Reformer using the Magic Circle and this is a very good one.

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!

Very high quality, use it all the time. 10/10
