If you want an effective foam roller, get it!
I love this foam roller! I have had several others but this one is superior. I used it at a PT clinic and then saw that my Pilates studio had it as well. After using it a few times in those settings, I knew I had to get one for home. It’s firm and effective. It is long enough that I can roll out my whole spine on it. With its density, it is very good at producing that “hurts so good” type of pain that I am looking for in a foam roller. Although it is on the more expensive side compared to other foam rollers on the market, I think it’s absolutely worth it.

Expensive But Quality
I did hesitate because of the price, but I am pleased I bought this roller. It is exactly the right firmness to use both as a back roller (stretching the spine), and support for chest stretches. It compresses evenly and comfortably, so you feel stable and able to focus on your exercise regimen.

Surprisingly Addictive – Feels Amazing!
I bought this foam roller for post-workout recovery, but now I use it all the time—even when I’m not sore. The firmness is just right, not too soft or too hard, and the length makes it easy to roll out my back, legs, and shoulders.At first, it felt a little uncomfortable (not gonna lie), but after a few days, I started looking forward to it. It’s like a deep tissue massage without the expensive appointments. Also, my posture feels better after using it.If you’ve never tried foam rolling before, just push through the first few days—it’s worth it!

As a retired ACSM cert trainer I recm THIS roller over others
This is the roller to get. These foam rollers soften and torque and change shape over time. This one is hard enough that it remains fairly firm and straight and this is critically important to get the benefits from such rollers. Physical Therapists all use this one but it is true that they may have the cheaper softer ones for people just starting out on the roller and are struggling through the initial stages of inflamation or injury. Otherwise, THIS is the roller to get and I would suggest you ignore the few complaints about it being “too hard”. You want these rollers hard for several reasons: 1. To do what they are intended to do, 2. To remain rigid and straight longer than a week.If you are using the roller properly, yes – you will have some discomfort and even what some might describe as “pain” which is why you don’t get on these things and roll on them quickly; they are meant to work with slowly as you gradually use them to help to bring order to traumatized muscle and connective tissue. Your body will adapt if you use the roller regularly and what seems “hard” today re this roller will in 3.5 weeks of rolling everyday or every other day seem almost soft and a pleasurable nice gentle massage after that.So stick with it, don’t go get a cheaper softer roller, and use it AS DIRECTED – yes even you, the non-expert, who thinks you know just exactly how hard or soft these things should be.The roller is for massage as well as stability (strengthening) work and again, in my professional experience in the trade, this is the best one out there. The only better one I’ve experienced is one I made by using plastic pipe from plumbers supply and glued sticky mats to the outside of the pipe. This one is slightly softer than using my home-made pipe one; this one is the perfect consistency of hard enough to do the job but soft enough not to break anything.

Foam roller
My physical therapist asked me to buy this to help me with my posture. When I received it in the mail, it had some dents in it that haven’t come out yet. But I just roll it around the other side and use it that way. It’s no big deal. It’s just not perfectly hot dog shaped. Anyway, I use it for laying directly on my spine and doing neck lifts to strengthen my neck. It does what it supposed to do and I appreciate it. I would order it again and recommended to a friend. I just would hope that they didn’t have dents in it when it arrived. It looks like something was sitting on it for a long time and then they sent it out.For $60 I would think that they would be more picky in selecting the roller before shipping. But other than that it does what it supposed to do.

It is not too hard, perfect softness to massage my back and IT Band 🙂
Debbie K Wong –
Very firm. Have three people using this roller regularly for the last few months and it still looks and feels like new. This roller will last so much longer than the white foam ones. Highly recommend!

I’ve blown through at least 3 other foam rollers and none have been able to withstand my use of them for as long as this has. It was referred to me by my Pilates instructor who insisted on this brand, this type and I’m glad I took her advice! I was/am a marathon runner and while I have a love/hate relationship with the roller, I certainly know the difference when one works and when one stops working. Hands down – worth the investment over anything else you can buy in a sports store or running related store. Highly recommend.
