MaxxMMA Adjustable Weighted Gloves, 2 lb. Set - Removable Weight (2 x 0.5 lb. Each Glove) for Sculpting MMA Kickboxing Cardio Aerobics Hand Speed Coordination Shoulder Strength

They work exactly as described. By the end of my BodyCombat classes I can barely hold my arms up. Just wish they came in black.Update: I've had these for over a year now and they're still going strong. I use them twice per week for BodyCombat and have no complaints. Only recommendation I'd give others is don't tighten them too tight around your wrist or when you make a fist it will put strain on where the finger loops attach to the backing and they could start to rip. I can see where some of the thread is starting to pull a bit but they still work great.

I've been looking for quite a long time for a weighted glove with removable weights that are not only easy to put on but will actually fit. I could never find any my size (small hands) or the design would look too clunky. I had to stick to the gloves with the built in weights because they were the only ones that would fit. Unfortunately after I few weeks of use they would always start to smell (I sweat a lot) and I couldn't wash them because the weights inside was usually a type of sand material and it would leach out so much dirt. I made the mistake once of just throwing them into the washing machine with my clothes and the results were... depressing. The only other way I could think of to help with the smell was to air dry them in the sun but even that has its limits. So for awhile I gave up on weighted gloves but I began looking again because my workouts (turbokick and body combat) just didn't feel the same. And then I stumbled upon these gloves and they have just been awesome. I can just remove the weights and throw them in the washer without fear of them ruining any of my clothes. If only I'd found these sooner.

I love these gloves! I use them for my Bunz-n-Gunz class, and these are my second pair of gloves in the past 9 months. I can already tell that these are so much better than my previous brand. I love that the wrist strap wraps ALL the way around the wrist, and that the velcro seems to be much sturdier than in cheaper gloves I've seen. The four finger holes also gives me a better fit, which keeps the gloves from sliding all over my hands as I punch. The best feature, though, is the fact that the weights can be removed, allowing the gloves to be washed. This is a MAJOR benefit because my previous pair was hard to clean effectively.

Good fit, surprisingly comfortable. If you are not doing heavy hands training, these would be well suited for classes bodycombat.The isolated weight bags are so much better than most other weighted glove designs with beads sewn into the gloves. Even if they do move around with momentum, at least they don't spray beads all over the place in a week.The weights are a little shy of .5lbs. If you care about that much detail, add in 5 or 6 pennies.Haven't had long enough to know about overall wear and tear.I wish there were more weights available, the ability to go to 2lbs per glove would be ace.

I've used them once so far, so it may be a little premature for 5 starts. HOWEVER, I'm so glad I got these specific gloves. What I really like is that the weight is created by two .5 lb sandbags, making them "adjustable." I use them for a 1-hour long HIIT/Kickboxing class. I've done the class for a long time and wanted a way to amp up my routine. While I've done it many times, going from nothing to a sudden extra 1 lb on each wrist would've been asking for trouble. Even the .5 lb (again, on each wrist) made a difference, because I can feel it in new spots in my back and shoulders. I'm thinking it may be awhile before I work myself up to the full 1 lb, and am really happy I have the option to adjust. I would definitely recommend.

I love the fact that you can remove the weights to wash these gloves!! The sand bags are easy to put in and take out. The zipper stays closed when using them. I had planned on using them once a week for the kickboxing class I take. I only got to use them twice. The first day was great, the second day was great, and then I noticed a hole. The glove had torn right at the stitching on the knuckle. I can still use them, but the one glove with the hole shifts and slides around when in use. It was too late to return them.

I wavered about buying weighted gloves but decided I needed add something to my kickboxing workouts - these gloves are perfect! Each weighs slightly more than one pound (according to my kitchen scale) and they are super comfortable, cute, and fit great. They also stay put when throwing punches so that's an added bonus! Highly recommend!

If you have very slim fingers these may fit. I'm male with medium hands (by all other gloves) and these are way too tight. Appears to have good construction.I got a refund but many contacts had.to be made including Amazon on my behalf directly to vendor.
