FAQ

Bala Bangles are wrist and / or ankle weights, redesigned to be more fashionable and more functional than their 80s predecessors. Bala Bangles add a constant but comfortable resistance to your workout – scientifically proven to increase heart rate, burn fat and build muscle.

Traditional dumbbells limit your range of motion, prevent you from using your hands, and interrupt your workout each time you pick them up or put them down. Not so with Bala Bangles! Enjoy a hands-free, unencumbered workout experience.

Though 1LB may not seem like a lot of weight, Bala Bangles are designed to intensify an already challenging workout. If you’re just getting started, we recommend the ½LB Bangles. If you’re active already, we recommend the 1LB Bangles. If you’re advanced, the 2LB will add an extra oomph to any and every workout.

Have a look at this video. Simply hold your Bangle against your body, wrap the elastic around your wrist / ankle, and firmly secure the velcro. When in doubt, the Bala logo will be facing out. Over time, putting on your Bangles will become second nature.

Not to worry! Bala Bangles were designed to be adjustable for both comfort and style. Have a look at this video to reset them. Simply hold the elastic end of your Bangles and firmly slide the bars down toward the Bala logo. Like new!

Bala Bangles were designed to be one-sized-fits all, for wrist and ankles. The athletic elastic allows for a completely custom fit.

Our products are simple by design. Bala Bangles, Bala Bars, and The Power Ring are each made of recycled stainless steel wrapped in baby-soft silicone. Bala Bands, on the other hand, are made of 100% natural latex.
