A Pilates ring is also known as a Pilates circle or a magic circle. It is an exercise equipment that is commonly used in Pilates workouts. It is a flexible ring made of rubber or metal, usually about 12-14 inches in diameter, with two padded handles on opposite sides.

The Pilates ring is used to add resistance to Pilates exercises, which helps to tone and strengthen muscles.  The ring can also be used to help improve flexibility and balance, and to increase body awareness.

Pilates rings have different levels of resistance. It can be light to heavy and can be used by everyone of all fitness levels. They are often used in Pilates classes, but can also be used at home for personal workouts.
