This five-piece set includes all the essentials for beginners and Pilates pros alike. A non-slip mat, adjustable arm and ankle weights, a trio of resistance bands, a small Pilates ball, and a ring weight are all included. I alternated using the equipment separately and all at once, for a more intense session.
Long enough for my 5ft 11in frame, the mat is surprisingly lightweight, which makes it easy to roll up and store after use. The mat is made from FSC-certified natural rubber and coated with high-grade polyurethane, providing an antimicrobial, waterproof, moisture-wicking and non-slip surface. Although it did stain slightly when I exercised while wearing an oily hair mask, it scooped the top spot in our guide to the best yoga mats.
The weighted ring boasts a buttery-soft silicone exterior, which was comfortable to hold, and didn’t leave my hands smelling of metal or laden with callouses like some gym weights do. The ankle weights have removable weighted blocks, which boast the same ultra-soft exterior as the other items in the bundle, and a Velcro fastening. The trio of resistance bands, meanwhile, has been created from premium nylon and latex, which is durable and provides a luxurious finish.
This sustainable set can be customised, too. Shoppers can choose the weight for the ring, the thickness of the mat, and the colour of the set – safe to say Onyx has thought of everything. A key piece of equipment to invest in, a Pilates ring can really enhance your home workout, whether you’re focusing on a specific area or opting for a full body workout.
