 I agree w/ P. Reyes...they're OK,if FREE or ONE DOLLAR February 23, 2008

Let me explain...I got them for FREE? w/ HIP HOP ABS (great workout,by the way) and that's right,they start to hurt on my thumb after a while. My solution is these little covered (with soft rubber) hand weights that kinda of look like brass knuckles inverted. I got them from TARGET a couple of summers ago for ONE DOLLAR a pair. I have two pairs and I can hold these with PURE comfort. I am glad I found them. I do still use the FREE weighted gloves occasionally though, just for something different. I am not having a leak with them so far and mine feel pretty close to a pound--I guess if they are cloth and filled with sand the accuracy could be off at times--ENJOY your workout people! I guess I'm spoiled now because I can't imagine paying OVER A DOLLAR for a 1 lb. weight!
 TurboJam Gloves February 7, 2008

I received the turbojam vidoes; which I love. But, the gloves were leaking the sand, so I decided to just sew them. Now the finger part fall apart! I would just suggest buying professional weighted gloves. I highly suggest turbojam vidoes, but not these gloves.
 not exactly 2 lb February 7, 2008

i received this item 2 days ago, i was so eager to use them with tae bo, so i put them on and started doing some punches and jams, well, did not feel much difference, but with repetition and with speed , i kind of felt the resistance and get tired at a less counts of jams and punches.i weighed them and found that like another reviewer said, they were less than 2 lb both.i'm not complaining now about the weight since i 'm still new to punch with weights, but for those doing tae bo with bands and wrist weights, i wouldnot recommend them..more over,they are not one size fit all, my hand is small,and still i feel that it hardly close on it and the 3 opennings/holes for thumb, and other 2 fingers are so small, also, the velcro is sewed very close to the thumb openning, so it kind of keep rubbing with thumb and inturrupt your workout.

The gloves are OK. The fit around the thumb is a little tight. After a while it becomes uncomfortable.
Not True 1 lb. Gloves January 4, 2008

I own the original Beachbody 1 lb. weighted gloves---the ones with the big round ball in the center of your palm. I used them until they were completely worn out and needed to be replaced. They are great for intensifying your turbo workout and building nicely cut arms. However, I ordered this newly designed pair to replace my old ones and immediately noticed a difference in my workout---it was too easy. I weighed them and they are barely 12 oz. It may not seem like much of a difference, but when you have built up your strength using true 1 lb. weighted gloves you can really feel the lack of resistance.
I think these newly designed BB gloves are great for beginners, but if you need a true 1 lb. weight I recommend finding another brand.
I would like to add that if you are new to using weighted gloves in your workout it will seem difficult at first but don't give up. Start slow and build up gradually if you need to. Before you know it you will get through the entire routine. The results are well worth it and you will never exercise without them again.
