terrific, easy to use exercise gadgetMay 03, 2010 I purchased this pilates fitness cicle because I broke my ankle, and in my physical therapy sessions, I used this little gadget fairly extensively and love the results that I got from it. In sessions, I used it mostly to rebuild muscle in my inner and outer thighs. However, upon receiving my own pilates circle, I watched the dvd and found a multitude of other terrific exercises that can be done using it. It is lightweight, yet still surprisingly durable. It is also terrific for packing to take on trips - it does not fold down to be more compact but it is so low-profile and lightweight that it is not difficult to pack and does not add a lot of weight to a suitcase like free weights would. I highly recommend this product because it is so versatile and effective - and the dvd really helps to get the most out of the device.

Loved ItJan 31, 2010 It came with a great workout CD. The Circle is sturdy and doesn't easily break. However, if you've been doing Pilates for a while, best to just get the Pro version as the tension of this one won't be enough for you.

Terrific ring for beginnersNov 10, 2009 After being in a terrible accident that broke my neck and fractured my eye socket (among other things), I ended up in physical therapy. First, the PT clinic at the hospital told me to use Leslie Sansone "Walk Away the Pounds" DVDs to gently rebuild my stamina. After getting me ambulatory, I then found a truly great PT sports therapy clinic where their philosophy is to strengthen the core first while at the same time using ultrasound and cranio-sacral therapy to alleviate the horrible pain.
When I began there, I decided to get the Stott Pilates ring as a symbol of recovery. In the last month, I finally began to use it, also using Pilates exercises to strengthen my neck, shoulders, and of course my core.
A warning to those who are quite strong or already very active -- this ring is for beginners only. You could easily snap it if you are strong already. That being said, it is a great device for beginners in Pilates, and not just people who have been injured. I use it at home daily doing the exercises and the Stott instructor at the sport physical therapy clinic has shown me modifications so that I can use it while doing exercises like the hundred, to further strengthen my core.
Stott Pilates is a fantastic form of Pilates. They are willing to accommodate people who are in different circumstances, and the ring truly bolsters your strength, stamina, and coordination with its emphasis on form. I highly recommend this product to all beginners. I also strongly advocate that you use the ring and start Pilates ONLY under the personal instruction of a certified instructor. This applies to everyone, and you have probably heard it elsewhere, but Pilates requires proper form and proper breathing. If you do not even know how to "imprint," then you will not be doing Pilates.
The ring is an essential tool. It makes the workouts fun, and you can hold it between your legs to strengthen your abs, quads, and glutes while learning how to do a proper chin tuck before rolling your head, neck, and shoulders up off the floor. I take the ring wherever I go because it is easy to pack, lightweight, and a real workout tool that uses your own body weight as resistance. Get this ring -- you won't regret it.

great for a beginner like meFeb 11, 2009 Actually saw this on Martha Stewart and thought I'd give it a try. I'm not an athlete by any stretch, so decided to start with this one and it's great! I feel the results yet I feel fairly confident I'm doing it right and that I'm accomplishing something! One day I'll graduate to the advance one!
