Epitomie Fitness VIBRA Vibrating Foam Roller - Next Generation Electric Foam Roller with 5 Speeds Settings | Includes Carry Case & Vibration Foam Rolling Training

I have been using this product for about a week now. I like this product for the most part. So after playing pickleball for about 3 hours i figured that this would work really well to loosen up and ease the muscles used in pickleball . As you can see from the pictures this product was used for my right arm, legs and back which tightens up from the constant play. Now that all being said, the vibration of this product is really nice. It can be set to various setting which is really nice, so if you are not so tight you don't need the vibrations so high. I really like that you can increase or lower the vibrations. This product feels really great on whatever area you are using it on. The pad itself does not give at all. So if you have used a regular roller there is some give to it. There is no give to this roller at all. So if you put it on the floor as you can see in the pictures there is no give but the vibrations feel really great. If you have ever sat in a chair that has the vibrating built into the chair it would feel like that. However, because there is no give it might be a little hard at first. I personally did not mind the firmness of this product because it felt really nice that there was no give to it and the vibration actually was pushed into the muscle which felt very nice. I did put the roller onto a chair and sat with that on my back. This felt nice as well but it was not really being pushed into the muscle to loosen it up. It takes awhile to charge up and you might have to totally deplete the charge and then re-charge it. But it does keep going for quite a bit. I used this for about 1/2 hour and had no issues. Again, the biggest issue that I would guess for folks would be that fact that there is no give to the roller. Now rolling it along your leg or arm or back does feel quite good and you could use it as just a roller too. Not sure why you would but you could. I think that this product is well worth the money because it really loosens up the various muscles. Additionally, you could put this roller onto a foam pad and it would provide some give as well if you wanted to have it not as hard on the various muscle groups. The company is really very good to deal with as well. If you have ANY questions regarding the product they respond really quickly to any questions. Lastly, I have used this product after a hard workout for arm, legs, back and chest and using the roller after each of those workouts loosen up the various muscle groups. I actually used the roller just rolling it along the various muscle groups so that i could put pressure where i felt i needed it more and that was very helpful as well. So in conclusion I would recommend this product and I was very happy with it.

The media could not be loaded. I got the VIBRA Vibrating Foam Roller last week and have been using it quite a bit every day. I train in Jiu-Jitsu so my arms, legs, back (my whole body, really!) is always aching. Plus I do some functional fitness in my home gym (garage). Two years ago I bought a regular foam roller from Epitomie Fitness and really liked it, but gave it to one of my teammates when he was training for competition. I was going to order the exact same one as, but saw that they now have a vibrating foam roller and couldn't pass up the chance to try it out. I am sooo glad that I did! The first thing I notice, when I took it out of the box, is the weight. Since it has a motor inside, it does weight a little bit more than your standard foam rollers. But it's only 3 lbs. It's a good size (5.5' x 12.75") and weight, that you can definitely carry this in your gym bag. I have my home gym, so that's where I'll by using it. Just like the previous foam roller I had bought from Epitomie Fitness, it's got large size numbs that really dig in to massage you! Add the vibrations and it's well worth the price! I didn't expect it to have such strong vibrations, but man, was I wrong. I tried all the setting and kept going back to the mid-level vibrations. Twice I even sat on my couch watching TV with the roller on the back of my neck at the lowest vibration setting. Felt great!As far as the features of the VIBRA, they are easy to use. You have an "ON/OFF" switch and one button to cycle through the vibration levels. There are 5 settings for the vibrations: 4 speeds levels and 1 marked "Rhythm" that cycles through all 4 in regular intervals. There are indicator lights that tell how much charge it has (25%, 50%, 75% 100%.) and a Micro USB slot to connect the charging cable. The cable itself is 3 ft long, which is a good length. (BTW, my VIBRA arrived fully charged.)The only experience that concerned me at first, was that I heard the canister make some creaking noises when I put my weight on it. I'm 170 lbs. So it WAS taking quite a bit of weight. Now you can tell that it's a quality product and it certainly help up. After each use I pulled back the red foam/rubber padding to examine the canister. It's a very tight fit so I couldn't pull it too far away. However I COULD see the edge of the plastic canister (where it's put together) and did not see any stress fractures at all. Over all, 8’m extremely happy with my purchase.

I've had this a few weeks at this point. I'm getting back into shape and I'm using it for sore muscles and other recurring issues. Please note that the unit is pretty firm which is perfect for relieving my deep hip joint and lower back pain. It's relaxing to me, but you should know there's a little bit of pain to roll on and work out the kinks - not because of the device, but due to the fact that there's much less fatty tissue in the hip flexer and lower back regions of the body. The increased flexibility is almost immediate and the the mobility pain fades in a day if not sooner. Additionally, the device is cost efficient because chiropractors and massage therapists are expensive - seriously. This self care remedy is worth the money 10 fold (or more) - just my two cents.
