Review: The larger size, the same high quality -- with improved design! - This comment reflected my thoughts regarding the original design: Stott makes good hardware. Usually the design is elegant, functional & built to last. This is all of the above. It could be better: when using the inner surface of the fitness circle, without a pad, the feedback can be unpleasant. It should be fun! Typically, fitness circles are held or compressed around the outside of the circle. There are two pads 180 degrees apart that are helpful, for example, when adducting (squeezing) the thighs and the circle is held between the ankles. But when abducting the thighs you want enough of a pad providing appropriate proprioception on the lateral maleolous. In other words, it should feel good. If you look at the picture, you can see the metal device that probably has an important purpose, but scratching the skin superficial to my distal fibula feels wrong. I am going to experiment and see if I can modify it with some kinesiotape, or neoprene from a worn-out wetsuit. This is the larger circle. If you want to get just one, get the smaller, 12" model. I needed a second one and got the larger, 14" model, for larger bodies. As props go, the circle closes the kinetic chain for both upper & lower extremities & can be used as described above and many ways. If I was to pick three Pilates props, it would be the mini stability ball, fitness circle and the foam roller. Then comes the large stability ball, toning balls, and then the stretch bands (give me a reformer please). If you've got the space, the edge is very cool for both making exercises possible & fun on a mat, or more challenging -- playing with gravity is fair & fun. THE GOOD NEWS! Stott has redesigned the circle with padding on the inside so that the interface when, for instance, abducting the thighs with the circle placed around the distal leg or ankle, provides proper feedback. Thanks for improving the product Stott! It is now a Five Star product. Review: Just like what I use in physical therapy - At first, I ordered the softer version of pilates ring. My husband commandeered it immediately. That was fine - I preferred the metal one I use in physical therapy. Got the name at my next session. In the beginning of building my strength, I couldn't get it to budge at all. Now it is "bending" much better to my will as I get stronger. I adore this thing and use it for different exercises. It's the best way to build my core without hurting my arthritic back. My core is stronger now (at 73 years old) than it has ever been. The ring should be indestructible; maybe the (nice, hard) foam handles may fail at some point, but I can fix that. I hardly think at my age and relative weakness, I'll ever be able to damage it. Well worth the extra money. Highly recommend. ## Features - 12" Ideal for those 5'4 (162.5cm) and Under. Available in Black and Purple - 14" Ideal for those over 5'4 (162.5cm).

Until the Pro model was redesigned, it was not functional to use it around the ankles, for instance to resist abduction as the ring had no padding and had an exposed screw head that could scratch your skin. **Q: How much does it weigh?** A: It´s very light, I would say it weights about half a kilogram **Q: How does this compare to the one made by BitterFit?** A: I evaluated ONLY the STOTT PILATES model. I know nothing about BetterFit. **Q: Would owning both the 12" and the 14" models add more versatility to the circle's use? Is one better for certain exercises than the other?** A: IMHO the 12 inch model is for those of a more genteel physique while the 14 inch is more appropriate for a more physical workout. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The larger size, the same high quality -- with improved design! *by J***S on September 16, 2011* This comment reflected my thoughts regarding the original design: Stott makes good hardware.
