Customer Reviews for 18" Muscle Therapy Foam Roller [DVD]

I bought this, thinking that it would be less brutal to my aching back than the harder, less-forgiving rollers at the gym. Big mistake! This "roller" doesn't roll! It just lies there, under my shoulder blades, and does nothing. The problem is that it's "squishy". It isn't firm (i.e., doesn't keep its shape) and so (because it's not round) doesn't roll. I'm sorry that I bought it and sorrier still that I discarded the receipt...I could have gotten a refund.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Challenging but Worth the Work

As a newly converted exerciser, this kit was a challenge for me to use at first. By working at it and taking it slow, I have really begun to enjoy the movements and I think you will too.
I would recommend this to a friend!

this roller is really firm! i think it is going to stand up to a lot of use! plus, my daughters love the green color! much better than plain white which gets really dirty after using it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Roller is the perfect size, great for back work, rolling sore muscles, or just elevating knees to relax legs. Long enough for effective workouts, small enough to store. Great for small rooms and apartments.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I haven't tried it yet, but my physical therapist has used a similar one with good results I like that there's a video included.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this recently and it has helped my back --fewer visits to the chiropractor.

I was so excited to try this out of the box unfortunately it did not work out so good. The dvd that came with it uses a 36" roller for the exercises.Why is that? It's not possible to get your arms behind on the 18" roller as it was done on the video. Also by the end of the workout my roller did not roll anymore. It started to flatten itself.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
