I am a 6 year breast cancer survivor. During chemotherapy, the chemo burned out the cartilage between my right
hand and my arm causing me to lose a large degree of motion in my right wrist. Using WAGS during my Pilates sessions has afforded me the support
needed to do wonder chair, reformer, cadillac, high barrel exercise and mat (including back bends) with a degree of comfort I have not had for
more than 5 years. THEY ARE WONDERFUL and enable me to do all the exercises requiring me to put my right hand flat on the floor properly and with ease.
WAGS have made a tremendous difference in my ability to properly do all of the Pilates poses. Thank you soooo much!Diedra – Santa Monica, CA |

| My background is Occupational Therapy with my main area of expertise being hand therapy for over 20 years. As a
result I am very aware of the forces and stresses certain Pilates moves create on the wrist and carpal tunnel. I instruct approx.
18 small group classes and some private sessions, in my studio per week. As a result I was experiencing some discomfort in my own
wrists. Since wearing WAGS, I am experiencing much less discomfort during upper extremity weight bearing moves on the mat or reformer.
I am highly recommending them to my clients before they experience any adverse wrist complaints.

| For years I have struggled through Yoga poses because of my wrists. My gloves came in the mail yesterday....I couldn't wait to try them. I have a home gym and yoga room...so off I went. For the first time in 5 years, I was able to hold plank and side plank. These gloves are GREAT!! I completed the entire 60 minute routine and didn't miss a beat. Thank you so much! | |

| I’ve been using WAGs for two years for my Pilates workouts. I suffer from arthritis and tendonitis and have had carpal
tunnel and trigger finger release surgeries. WAGs alleviate the stress put on my hands, elbows and shoulders during my workouts.
WAGs have also been instrumental in helping to ward off any further damage and they help with proper form while doing exercises
that involve my hands and arms. The gloves fit perfectly, are incredibly comfortable and they are durable too! My first pair lasted
over 2 years. WAGs have made it possible for me to do Pilates and enjoy it. I just adore these gloves and never work out without them!
I love WAGs! |

| What a blessing these gloves have been in my life. What a blissful journey my yoga practice has been, but certain poses where just horrific on my right wrist which was injured when I was 16. I’ve had to wear a brace on and off and once I started ashtanga it was unbearable. I saw the ad in yoga journal, but was apprehensive about using gloves for yoga -- why did I wait so long? The first day I was pain free!!! It was an emotional experience for me... WAGs gave me my yoga life back. I can now do crow, handstand & chatturanga pain free. Thank you so much! I will forever be grateful and will spread the word about these magical gloves! | |

| I just want to share with you how absolutely thrilled I am with your product. As a full time massage therapist
(repetitive motion and my bodyweight leaning into hyper extended wrists) of over 10 yrs I have developed weakness and occasional
pain in my left wrist. After a lifelong love of yoga I finally abandoned my practice as it seemed to inflame my wrist and rotator
cuff weakness, and I could not afford to risk injuring my hands that I rely on for my work. I started doing Pilates as an alternative
to yoga, which led me to become certified as a classical Pilates instructor. I loved the strong, intelligent movements, the mind-body
and breath emphasis, and most of all that it did not hurt my wrist...that is until I learned that the advanced Pilates repertoire
involves just as much weight-bearing movements as yoga! After doing some research I found your product and can not even express how
excited I am to no longer have to make a choice between my career, my health, and my passion for yoga and Pilates!! I have joyfully
resumed my yoga practice after a 3 year hiatus and am able to demonstrate and perform advanced Pilates exercises without worrying
about further injuring myself. When I wear my WAGS I can execute and hold down dog, plank, long stretch on the Reformer and pull ups
on the Wunda completely PAIN FREE!! This product has been a blessing in my life, I can not thank you enough.
