The quality of this polo depends if you know beforehand what it''s made of. I thought it was cotton, or a blend of good materials. It''s pure polyester which is a rubbish material, I can''t believe people still use it. It doesn''t breathe at all, so basically it''s only useful on a 25°C cloudy day... Turn on the sun and you start feeling like you''re in a sauna. So 3 star because it looks good and feels good on the skin. I wouldn''t buy this product again.
I bought these two pound ankle/wrist weights to replace a pair that was wearing out and this one was the design I wanted. In fact, this pair seems better made than the old pair that is falling apart.

Compared to other magic circles I priced, the highest at $59(!), this is a good value.

I am disappointed with the handles on the ring. they are very hard. I am used to soft rubber handles, like I use in our gym..Read Best Reviews of Stamina Pilates Magic Circle with Workout Video Here
This short review is only about the fitness ring, not the DVD. I have a lot of respect for isometric exercises. They''re safe and, if done correctly, effective. They can offer a better workout than weights and can be done in far less time.Want Stamina Pilates Magic Circle with Workout Video Discount?
Like a lot of non-studio quality equipment, this ring is an improvement on the original: instead of having screws and bare metal on the inside of the ring, it has padding. If you are going to do Pilates exercises with feet and ankles on the inside of the ring, you need one more like this.
I recently purchased this system through Amazon. I work out at home in the AM before work. I was looking for a Smith machine so that I could lift heavy in the basement without the danger presented by free weights w/o a spotter. You''ll find Smith machines cheaper than the Caribou, but they fit in the category of "home gym" equipment. Commercial machines are generally a lot more expensive than the Caribou. I settled on Caribou because of the solid construction and flexibility to add on features later as my needs demand (such as a pec deck, cable cross, dip station).

Lightweight fine-knit pants. Lighter than I wanted and waaay too long. I am 5''6" and would have to cut off over a foot of fabric.
I''ve long been searching for comfortable long yoga pants. While I initially thought these were a little pricey, they are worth every penny. They are very comfortable, the fabric is wonderful and though they feel heavy when you hold them, they are not too heavy to work out in. Even better, they fit me in length which is a bonus. Most workout pants are way too long for me (I''m 5 ft), but these are perfect. I am very happy with my purchase and would consider buying other items from the same company.

I received these pants very promptly after ordering. The fabric is soft, silky, but a little heavy. I leave in Florida, so very soon it will be too warm to wear them outside. They will work great for air-conditioned spaces. The color is nice, a neutral, delicate grey, going very well with any other color of the top. The reason I gave 4 stars to these pants is the cut, they sit little too high on the waist. The hip area could be just shallower. And I agree with one other reviewer, they are short. I will enjoy them and hope that in the future the manufacturer will modify the cut and produce them from the same fabric but in more colors.Read Best Reviews of Bamboo Yoga Pants & Lounge Pants for Women Here

Lightweight and extremely comfortable for working out or just lounging. Wish they came in more colors so I can buy more.
I just purchased this cable crossover, because I have a fitness book nearly dedicated to crossover excercises. $400 plus free shipping did not make me think that I was going to get a high quality piece of equipment. However, I have been impressed with the quality. Metal is machined well with nice edges and operation of the equipment is smooth. The only complaint that I have is the lack of setup directions. I could not find any in the box nor on the internet, so we put it together based on the picture and diagram. We did not have any major problems putting it together. I have not had it long but think I definitely got what I paid for.

Amazon sent this bad boy and I received it a couple days ahead of schedule. Thank you Amazon!! Packaging was simple and perfect. I opened it and took out every part piece by piece and counted it to match parts list ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST. Even came with a can of lube and touch up paint. I read past reviews about this machine and most of them were negative talk about instructions. Cable run was simple and on the instructions you will notice arrows pointing in the direction you must follow in order to have a working cable. Just dont put the pullies on until you are ready to run your cables. The side bars set up easy, you can only install the bars one way on the bottom base. Just match the bolt holes to the base plate holes. You will know if you have the side bars on upside down because the holes will not match up. I recommend you slide the weight part on before you set the bars on the base plate. Also the plastic ends for the weights, make sure you line up the raised part to the holes on the weight portion. Also recommend you put the plastic ends on side bars before you slide weight part on bar after that you can put on the other plastic end piece. I also recommend you spray your weight part before you install it on the bar with the included lube. Also recommend you spray the pulley parts that get bolted down. better for the rotation of base when you''re working out. It really is a basic set up and you can do it just by the picture that comes with it. Very easy to do by yourself. Took me only 45 min to assemble it and was ready to attack the cable crossover exercises. Wish they would have included four clips rather than just two. Also that ankle strap is junk..Recommend you get a new one.Want Powerline PCCO90X Cable Crossover Discount?
I think the other reviews beat it into our heads that there are no instruction for this machine so all i''ll say about that is it wasn''t that hard to figure out just by using the pictue. The machine itself is pretty sturdy. I didn''t expect that from the price. Although it isn''t commercial quality it''s not like 1000 different people will be putting wear and tear on it. The handles that come with it aren''t the best so I picked up some better quality ones and it does come with an ankle strap which is fine. Also if you have olympic weights you will need the adapter for it. The weights will fit just not securly. It also came with a silcone spray which is needed to lube up the bars for the moving piece. Overall I am very pleased with this product and would buy it again. The only bad thing I can say about it is that the pulleys do not adjust up and down, but I knew that before I bought it. I hope this review helped.
