Overview
A pair of adjustable ankle weights from Gaiam sold as 2.5 pound units, 5 pounds total per pair, sized to fit ankles up to about 9 inches around in this version and up to 11 inches in the 10 pound version.
The sand-filled weights strap on with a single velcro closure rather than a buckle system, which keeps them simple but limits how much adjustment range any one cuff offers.
- 2.5 pound units, 5 pounds total per pair
- Sand-filled weight construction
- Single velcro strap closure
- Sized for ankles up to about 9 to 11 inches depending on version
Who it's for
Fits people adding light resistance to walking, yoga, Pilates, or barre rather than serious strength training, and works best on smaller to medium ankles given the single-strap design. Larger ankles reported a tight fit with no way to loosen it further.
Pros and cons
- Comfortable for light routines
- Low profile enough to wear in public
- Stays reasonably in place during walking
- Velcro wears out after 6 to 9 months of regular use
- Single strap does not adjust for large ankles
Performance notes
The weight sits inside a sand-filled shell rather than removable plates, so the resistance is fixed once purchased rather than adjustable within a single cuff. Because the closure relies on one velcro strip, fit is set by where that strip lands on your ankle, and repeated bending during exercise appears to wear the hook-and-loop material down over time.

Frequently asked questions
How much do these weigh?
This pair is two 2.5 pound units for 5 pounds total; Gaiam also sells a 10 pound version sized for larger ankles.
Do the straps wear out?
A reviewer who repurchased the product three times reported the velcro losing its hold after 6 to 9 months of several-times-weekly use.
Will these fit a large ankle?
Not well by one account. With only a single velcro strip, a reviewer with larger ankles found the cuffs too big and unable to tighten further.
