Terrific For Stability
This review is for HAPBEAR Yoga Blocks 2 Pack – 9x6x3in High-Density EVA FoamBeing relatively new to the yoga-fitness realm as an older woman, I never gave one thought to the gripability of yoga blocks. I mean they’re all the same, right? Ah, well I’ve learned, that depends on what you’re using them for, and yes, it matters.For me at least as a beginner, these serve as a way to make poses easier and bridge gaps until I can perform the deeper, more advanced poses. I like that they are super sturdy. Again, I never thought much about a yoga block having hand grips, but when for example I’m doing a modified downward dog, being able to grip onto the “handle” makes me feel much more in control and able to listen to my body over fearing I’m going to wobble and crash. That’s important, because so much of fitness I’m learning IS in our minds and going slowly as we progress.I also do a lot of floor functional NRE type work, and work on my feet and arches so in that regard also the stability is appreciated. In that of course I don’t use the grip side, but the regular, flat side. They are a fairly good weight, so I again I don’t fear tipping when I’m standing on them. That being said, sometimes I do find that I *want* the softer blocks for foot training because the goal is to force stability in the ankles and arches, not having it provided for me. For reference, I am 5’7″ and wear a size 9.5 Xwide women’s shoe. Get yourself some toe-yoga socks while you’re at it, and you won’t regret those either. (Fourloo Brand/6 pr)I compared the measurements of these blocks to some “regular” that I bought awhile ago, and while they are the same dimensions 9″x6″x3″, for some reason these HAPBEAR brand feel larger.This pack also included a small, spikey roller ball for muscle knots (hello rhomboids!), and a stretching strap. Although I will tell you, the strap is NOT stretchy at all. It is solid, and the hand/foot holes are very small. Maybe a person could let a child use this to encourage fitness and stretching or what I did with it is over my head and back for shoulder blade/rotator cuff motion. Just know it’s not a stretch strap in what we’re probably expecting there.November 2025, these come in at a cost of $30 for 2 blocks. I’ve found that your everyday “plain” blocks are much less expensive, so the value in these again, will depend on what a person is using them for and/or hoping to get out of them.I will say these blocks, while “textured” aren’t themselves what I would call a grippy texture, it’s more an ultra-fine pebble texture, barely noticeable on the surface, but it does seem effective in preventing slippage.

Very cool and very functional
I may be easily impressed. I think these foam blocks are really cool. The cutouts allow you to grip in a way you wouldn’t be able to otherwise, and the foam itself has this neat property where you can compress it over a very small surface area (like a fingertip) but you can’t compress it at all across a larger surface area with the same pressure (like a palm.)So you can grab into it if you need to – your fingers will dig in a little. But if you’re pushing yourself up using your palm & wrist it’s super stable.Also included is a nice stretching band. Lots of handholds, feels very sturdy and strong. Surprisingly nice as an add-on.Also also included is a small, dense little “massage ball.” Certainly usable for its intended purpose, and more sophisticated than using an old tennis ball you found at the park (although it functions the same way.)Also also also included is a set of resistance bands which are… Well, free feels about right for these. I would not recommend anybody buy this set for the bands, but you could find some use for them if you didn’t have anything better.Great set for the money, just don’t get too excited about the resistance bands.

Good size, and works great!
These blocks do work pretty well. I don’t think they’ll last for an incredibly long time, but they’re still pretty good. During my testing, I noticed the blocks would start to compress. They are sturdy. I love the grips added in because they help me maintain balance. The bands work well, and I expect I’ll get the same amount of use from them if I were to purchase them separately. The “Hapbear” font on the bands comes off pretty much as soon as you stretch them for the first time. I opted to stretch them and a bit of rubbing alcohol to remove the rest of the font. The coloring of these products is all true to image. I like the ball, but I wish it were larger. Overall, I would say for the amount of items you’re getting, it’s worth the price.Note: Even though I recommend this product, I am still listing it as 4 stars, because I’m not certain how long it’ll last since it does compress. I still believe it is worth the price.
