"While they’re decent, they tend to bunch up a little during use, especially over leggings. If they were just a bit wider or had some grip on the inside, they’d be perfect."
While another noted: "The foam on the ring has already peeled off and I’d only used it once. Not the best quality unfortunately."
On the flip side, a top reviewer wrote: "I’ve only started using it but the durability of the product is phenomenal, easy to use, comfortable to use and great equipment to keep fit. Packed well, instructions provided how to get started. I am loving it!"
While a further customer praised: "Purchased for home workouts and the quality is incredible. Also comes with a poster with many different workouts to choose from which is a huge help for a beginner."
