Stott Pilates Fitness Circle Lite

Really nice magic circle - high quality. I ordered this one and the Gaiam which was only about $6 less than this one and the quality was not even close. The Gaiam felt cheap, creaky, and junky. I immediately put it back in the box and returned it. This one from Merrithew feels pro. Worth spending the extra money on it. Has very good resistance too - not flimsy or weak in any way. The handles are solidly integrated and I like that the ring doesn’t have a rubbery cover. I am not afraid of this thing breaking and my guess is that it will last for many years.

Happy with this purchase. The ring is lightweight, yet strong. It is the same one I used in physical therapy for my degenerative disc issues. So I just bough the the exact same one. Works great, been using it for months now. Good value as the one on the Stott site was more expensive. Thank you.

I'm mostly happy with this purchase. The ring is lightweight, yet strong but not too difficult for a person who is moderately fit. I've used other fitness circles and this one is much less flimsy. Pads are comfortable, yet dense. The only complaint I have is the packaging. The day I got it one of the pads had a small tear and I hope it doesn't get bigger. (It's been a couple of months and so far it has not). One piece of advice, make sure your gym bag is large enough for a Fitness Circle.

This is hands-down the best type of pilates ring out there. My studio has the same one and I initially got a cheaper one via Amazon for use here and there when I do workouts at home. It was a mistake and I knew it from the moment I used it. I finally caved and just got the Merrithew. I think what makes this the best is the ring itself, it's crafted very differently from the others that appear to be plastic tubes with ridges. Also, the pads, the pads are the most comfortable when putting in between ankles and on thighs. Don't look to spend less and just get this one. My other one will be donated.

This is the real deal. Merrithew is THE source for pilates instruction and equipment, and of the rings I've tried, this one is by far the best. It's solid, sturdy, and offers excellent resistance. It's Aldo easier to keep in place for some of the more difficult poses than the others I have tried. If you are serious about pilates, this is worth the money.

This is a very nice medium sized pilates ring and it is an excellent tool for all kinds of upper body, lower body, and core exercises! Use it like a yoga strap to stretch out those tight hamstrings!!!

I originally purchased another Pilates ring. Upon receiving it, it did not feel very sturdy, made creaking sounds when I applied pressure, and ultimately I returned it. I did a little more research on Pilates rings and came across the Stott ring. The ring was a little pricier than my original purchase but definitely worth the investment. The product arrived perfectly and I feel very confident using this without fear that it will snap in my face. I am 5’1” and this size feels comfortable to use. If you are considering this ring, stop reading and buy it now!

This product is wonderful! My Occupational therapist showed it to me and how versatile it is! I was not able to walk due to an illness and I worked out with this in my wheelchair and it built my core enough I was actually able to stand in a vet short period of time! This thing actually works! It works a lot of different muscles and is very affordable. I recommend this to everyone. It works you out hard and strengthens really well.
