User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Pretty good circle, AWFUL video
As a pilates instructor, and someone who remembers the 80s and knows it's the 2000s I can't for the life of me understand why the video for this power circle appears to be from 1982! The woman is wearing a white unitard with a matching white scrunchy in her long braided hair, there is a filter on the video–circa Barbara Walters 1980 interviews. And the exercises and explanation of the exercises look as bouncy and as dangerous as old jazzercising of the 80s.

The woman appears to be in pain while she does the exercises and I would say that only 1/3 of them are performed correctly, and/or legitimate exercises.

5 Stars Pilates Magic Circle Great for Thigh exercises
This is a great product for working inner and outer thighs. Very small for all it does. I used a similar one in a physical therapy office and really liked it. Easily stores under the bed or in the closet

5 Stars This is the one you want, don't skrimp pennies, get this one.

This is the magic circle you want. I tried other magic circles including one from Sports Authority and this one not only appears to be better made, but also operates better. Don't save your pennies, this magic circle can last you a lifetime. I've given mine a decent test:

resistance – stiff, but operable

ease of use – very, it's a circle, duh

**But this one has the added advantage of both abductor and adductor work (inner/outer thigh) because of the handle placement**

durability – high, the foam handles are soft yet very durable, not likely to crumble anytime soon

appearance – sleek, as sexy as you can get with a magic circle – it is actually a circle, some of the other ones are more oval . . . that changes the entire dynamic of the work you are trying to do. Perfection in pilates is paramount to success!!

I do not use their video, but the circle is fabby enough in it's own right. Happy Hundreds!

5 Stars Love it!
The magic circle is fantastic. Very well made. It's a great addition for a Pilates workout. The DVD is also helpful and taught me some new exercises. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

5 Stars Perfect tool for doing Pilates at home
If you like to do Pilates at home, this is the perfect tool to assist you. There are hundreds of exercises to do using just this one item.

The DVD is helpful as a start, but I would recommend at least 2-3 private Pilates classes to give you an introductory lesson.
