Epitomie Fitness Extreme Foam Roller - Premium High Density Muscle Foam Roller Provides Deep Tissue & Trigger Point Massage

Wow! Amazing roller! It hits all the right trigger points :) and as a bonus comes with online video exercises! Well worth the price. I had terrible back pain causing headaches for weeks and needed a professional massage, I purchased this instead to see how I would get on and ...WOW... don't get me wrong IS Extreme but if that's what you need that's what you get! I was really impressed with this roller, the build quality is excellent and as soon as you take it out of the box you know it was worth the money. I logged on to the website on the side of the box and followed the exercises, within minutes I was feeling major relief from the knots that had been bothering me. You can use it horizontally and vertically to get extra access to scapula trigger points as well as many other exercises for the whole body. I felt a boost of energy and my muscles got the treatment they needed. Take it gently, this WILL give you a deep tissue massage! I honestly can't find anything bad to say and Epitomie Fitness website is great with lots of other products I'm going to try.

I was sent this foam roller as a BETA tester by Epitomie Fitness. The review below is objective and based on my experience with the product. I have used this roller several times since it arrived, and have found it to be universally excellent. Several intelligent design factors make it worthy of five stars. The first is the size. This is a small roller, around 40 cm long. This is actually a smart design move for two reasons. Firstly, it makes storage of the roller much more achieveable, and secondly, the length is the perfect size to incorporate either one or both legs in massage treatment. The design of the roller features triangular protrusions that act as focus points for the massage process. This means that the roller achieves very high pressure massage in targeted areas, especially when compared to a smoother surfaced roller. Having used this roller for massage immediately after a half marathon, I have found it to be excellent at targeting specific areas of muscle. My IT band and outer calf muscle were especially sore, and 5 minutes on each leg with this roller was fantastic. The morning after using, I found my muscles to be looser and more flexible. For severe DOMS or post race recovery or for some really targeted relief and treatment, this roller is utterly superb. A great piece of kit.

I am BETA tester and this item was give to me to try it for free. I do BJJ and sustained an injury a few months ago. Using a foam roller was a huge part of my recovery so I had high expectations on this one. The quality of the product is most definitely 5 stars. Really good quality however, even though I have recovered I had a really hard time in being able to use due to it's size (too small) which makes it hard to use it. Furthermore, being an extremely hard roller, it wasn't pleasant (which I already expected as foam rollers never are!) and because unlike the typical roller this one doesn't have a smooth/flat base, it will deliver what it promises - High density massage. I wouldn't recommend it if you have an injury or if you're not used to foam rollers, however, if you train frequently, if you're used to the traditional foam roller and need a level above then I would recommend it. Just be aware of the size. 4 stars because of the excellent quality of the product and for the fact that it provides what it advertises, unfortunately, I find it too be quite small in length.

the only thing that is extreme about this roller is the height of the "nobbles" . they are much softer than expected and easy to squish down with hand pressure ...certainly not hard or painful whatsoever and somewhat disappointing as i'd expected a far deeper massage effect when rolling with my full weight on the upper back. basically ..looks "extreme" but in reality is not at all and although seemingly well made it's overpriced. I bought a similar roller for £6 posted and had hoped for something special but not impressed i'm afraid . would send back but chucked the box.

I received this product from Epitome Fitness to test; I had never used a foam roller before, and at first I was a little sceptical about how effective it would be. After a two weeks of use the results are outstanding, and I would not go without it. I would not recommend this product for everyday use, as I find the ridges are too hard to use for a warmup. If that is what you are looking for then I would recommend the standard Muscle Foam Roller. However, if you are looking for a product to replicate a deep tissue massage, then this is the product for you. Being very active with a variety of sports (Sailing, Badminton, Jiu Jitsu, etc) and I use this product to relieve any strains I may incur. The instructional videos provided give a good basis to start with, but to get the best from this product you need to experiment and find what works for you. On a side note, I also spend a lot of time on my feet for my profession, and as such I build up a lot of tension in my lower back. A couple of rolls sorts that out and allows me to get on with the rest of my day without any twinging pain at all. All in all a top quality product. TL;DR: If your muscles stay tight after exercise and you want to relax them then buy this.

When I opened it, it did NOT look brand new. I expected it to be new considering I paid over £20 for it. I ended up buying TWO because of the description and reviews I had seen. The roller had dirt on the spikes- it was as though someone had used it! Disappointed.

I've done BJJ & Muay Thai for years and run a full time academy. I've used a foam roller whenever I can after a class to massage the tightness out of my legs & lower back. I've used a number of different foam rollers and as good as they all are, I've never been able to get to some deeper points. This product is excellent for this! It's very firm (so be aware of that if you aren't used to using foam rollers) but the nobbles on it get right into the hard to reach places. It's been great for my hips. The name suits it perfectly...It is for extreme muscle rolling and mysofascial release!. I asked a number of students to try this and they've all found the same results - very firm and great for getting in deep on the muscles. It seems very well built but time will tell if it lasts. So far no problems at all with quality! My only criticism is that it's only available in orange! All the equipment in our gym is colour matched and this plays up with my OCD :) !!

I've had glutes so tight for the last 4 years that I've had more elbows on my bum cheeks from chiropractors and masseurs than pants. The agony I've felt because of it has been a misery! My chiropractor recommended me a more expensive product because it was slightly softer, but I couldn't justify £70 and bought this slightly harder one instead. At first it was very painful, and hard to get into the position to roller my glutes, but I quickly picked up the right technique and my arms because stronger to get into the awkward position I needed. Well now both my weekly chiropractor and massage therapist not only DON'T have to even touch my glutes because you can easily root around with ease; but they are entirely as they should be! This product is absolutely fantastic. I was using it twice a day, then once a day, now twice a week. This has revolutionised my movement and comfort.

Troppo aggressivo,meglio qualcosa più morbido

Dies ist meine erste Faszienrolle und ich bereue den Kauf nicht. Durch das Raster dringt die Rolle tiefen in die Muskeln ein und das Lösen bzw. Bearbeiten von Verspannungen tut entsprechend sehr weh. Ein wenig Schmerzresistenz ist also Voraussetzung für die Anwendung; oder keine Verspannungen. Am nächsten Tag sind die einzelnen Stellen deutlich zu spüren. Sie fühlen sich jedoch nach regelmäßiger Anwendung auch deutlich entspannter an. Zur Handhabung brauche nichts schreiben. Dazu gibt es mehr als genug im Internet oder dem nächsten Buchladen zu finden.

Ich hatte den Foam Roller aufgrund der Aussage, die Noppen seien weich, bestellt. Doch leider waren sie für mich viel zu hart, ich konnte sie nicht nutzen. Daher ging die Rolle zurück. Die Rücksendung kostet 3.50 - darüber habe ich mich geärgert, allerdings ist man ja selber schuld, wenn man Produkte online kauft.

Super schnelle Lieferung trotz der Weihnachtszeit! Top! Zu der Rolle: Die Rolle ist echt hart, wie auch beschrieben. Größe und Verarbeitung perfekt. Weiß gar nicht warum man mehr bezahlen muss wenn man für so 'wenig' Geld diese Qualität und Produkt bekommt. Danke dafür, gerne wieder. MfG

Mein Mann liebt die Rolle zur Rücken-Massage und benutzt sie täglich! Tut ihm sehr, sehr gut - er hat leider viele und starke Rückenschmerzen :-(
