🔵 So have you heard of Bala before this video? Will you get the Bala Beam? Is it a hard pass for you? Share below!
Thank you for these thorough reviews, I’ve watched a few of your Bala videos. :) I just ordered the shine collection on sale and stacked the 20% offer as well. I’m so so excited for my pieces to arrive and your videos definitely helped me during my decision making process.
Yayyy!!! The shine collection is gorgeous. You’re gonna love it 😍 Excited for you!!
Have never heard of this product before, it's an interesting idea. It will definitely be useful for people building a small home gym. Great product review!
It is perfect for a small home gym!! So glad I stumbled across it. Thanks for watching 🙌💙
Never heard of this before, i will be looking into getting one , thanks for great review of this product
It’s a great piece of equipment for a home gym!! 🙌 you’ll love it!
I actually brought this Beam in pink as I have the ankle weights(several pairs) in both the 1 and 2 pound.I haven't done a full workout yet but from the few things I have tried I love it. Easy to grip very ergonomic and I wanted a barbell since I only do home workouts. Like you said its an investment but worth it if you know you will use it. Plus they're plenty of workouts on CZcams you the beam. Good review.
Yesss! So glad you love it as much as I do too. It's so worth it especially if you're like us and primarily workout from home. I'll be uploading some workouts using the beam too so stay tuned if that interests you 😉
Also curious - do you prefer the 1lb or 2lb ankle weights? I have the 2lb but have definitely considered getting the 1lb as another option!
Thank you for the review I liked watching you do exercises it gave me ideas on how to get creative using it. In theory they're a little bangle weights you could probably put them on each side of the bar but you'd have to be very careful moving very slowly and obviously can only do it with a few exercises you're right that would be better if they had a way to add weights
Ahhh that's such a great idea, Suzannah! The bangles would be a great way to increase the weight on the Beam. I'll have to try that out and see how it works 😊 Thanks for sharing and so glad you enjoyed the video!! 💕
I'm going to take the plunge. I'm ordering the 15 lb Bala bar and 10 lb Bala ring. First time working out in years.
Yayyy!!! 👏 It’s a solid investment. You’re gonna love them!!
PS - congrats on getting back to a workout routine - that’s amazing!! Excited for you!!! ✨
How have you liked working with them??!
Thanks so much for posting this review, super helpful. I just started working out last month in December. So just 4 weeks. My trainer asked me to get good ankle & wrist weights, so just found out about #Bala. I did not get the ankle weights as their inventory is super low, I needed to get 3 sizes. Anyways, I saw this bar / beam on the site, looked very interesting. I don't like wearing gloves, the gym only has steel bars. This looks like it's better for the hands. My question to you is, since purchasing and using this overtime, what condition is the material in? Is it still holding up? Over this time has their been any ripping, holes or tearing, has it gotten sticky? I have had some silicone problems in past getting sticky or gooy.
Hey there! Glad this review was able to help 💙 So to answer your question - I've had the Bala Beam and the Bala Rings for a while now with ZERO issues of tearing/ripping/getting sticky. They are super easy to wipe off and clean if they get sweaty or dirty for any reason. From my experience I think it would take a lot to actually get a "ding" in the silicone. It's pretty solid! And the silicone covering the Bala Beam/rings is a lot more high quality than the stuff on my regular dumbbells. Hope that helps! can't wait to hear how you enjoy your new equipment 🙌
This is cool!! Wish there were more weight options or an innovative way to add more weight. I would invest
They actually have a 25lb bala beam on their website now! Still no way to adjust it by adding weight but 25lbs sounds way better for strength training!
I got the 3 pack rings and want to add a 15 - would you rec the beam over the ring?
I personally tend to use the beam over the ring, but both are useful and in rotation! If I had to vote - I like the beam the most of all Bala’s gear! 💙
If you can add weight using the same brand anklets or combining resistance bands on the bar
Such a good idea!! 🙌
I have tried Bala in Westin Hotel in Malaysia
They are smooth, well made
Good mostly for body toning,I think it's better opinion for women, but for men it's not enough to achieve results
But most importantly Bala is overpriced ! Should really cost around $20
Not a good investment, sorry
I have to agree - I think they could lower the price a bit. And weight wise, they probably do offer more benefit to women vs. men who might need a little heavier weights at baseline to see muscle gain. I appreciate you sharing your experience! 😊
