Customer Review: Pilates magic circle exercizer
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Absolutely great!
The DVD is very helpful and I have used the circle to strengthen my strained ankle ligaments as well as build up my inner thigh muscles.
The difference is noticeable and I am in much less pain, progressing daily.

The magic circle works great. The DVD is a good start, but not an actual workout video.Customer Review: Magic circle on the jaw?
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I picked this up in yet another attempt to get my flabby self in line. These are good exercises, but not quite up to snuff with true pilates.
Pilates to me is all about being on the mat, using the core, and pushing yourself to the limits. The magic circle is, basicly, your resistance in lieu of free weights or a weight machine. I understand some of them (the famous Thigh Master moves, for example), but some are a little ridiculous like using the magic circle on your jaw and neck. Can you really make them stronger with this thing? Also, you use this as substitute for a ball or another object you would be holding or passing as you do other excersises. If you don't have a ball, or don't have enough space to keep one at home, this is a good alternative.
Otherwise, it's just alright. Go with another pilates DVD without this thing.
Customer Review: Pretty good circle, AWFUL video
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
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.

I have tried to like this product, as I am interested in pilates.
However, it is difficult for me to use, especially holding it between the knees & thighs. It hurts to squeeze & bruises me. I found that a 25 mm ball is a better choice.
