Sports reviews of Stamina Pilates Magic Circle with Workout DVDCustomer Review: served it's purpose Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I bought the "magic circle" in efforts to up the anty in my pilates routine. I am glad I purchased it but I found the DVD to be about a 2 star out of 5 start rating. Since I live far away from a Pilates studio I purchased other DVDs in efforts to learn about the magic circle. the DVD from Classical Pilates Inc. called "The Complete Magic Cirlce Mat Series & Reformer Mat Workout" (also on Amazon.com)taught me more about the circle's use than the DVD that came with it. It is a basic straight forward mat routine DVD but it was practical and I am well on my way to a more complete Pilates workout.
I also use the magic circle to burn off extra energy while sitting and I find my boyfriend picks it up and uses it to get a few exercises in every day. It can be used in many ways but it most certainly enhances a pilates work out.
Customer Review: Very good Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I bought this product as I take a pilates class twice a week, and the instructor used them. I loved it so much that I bought one. My only complaint is that it seems to provide less resistance than the ones my instructor has. It still works the way it should, but I wish it provided more resistance. I never watched the DVD as I learned so may ways to use it from my instructor. There really are many ways to use it and work different muscles, it's even great for stretching! Definitely recommend it.
Customer Review: the ring is worth the purchase Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I have used the ring 3 - 4x/week since the purchase and very happy with it. It has provided sufficient resistance and has not "broken down". I do not use this ring with the dvd it came with. I didn't like the dvd it came with but have used the ring with Winsor Pilates and Karen Voight workouts that use a pilates ring. I've been satisified with the results.
Customer Review: Not for the uncoordinated! Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I'm not coordinated myself and it has taken a while to get used to it. Hubby and I both do it and are getting better as we get more time under our belt. The dvd has a stand alone section, a section that requires a machine(sorry, I'm not buying that), and a mat section. The dvd is good and often you would pay $24.99 for the pilates dvd by itself.
Customer Review: Decent workout ring Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This pilates ring is fine for an average user. The ones that we used in school had more resistance than this one. However, for an occasional or average user, it's a pretty decent ring. I would recommend it for people who are not looking for a super intense workout. So, if you're a beginner, this is a good ring to start with.
