TRIGGERPOINT Performance Therapy Grid Foam Roller Review

TriggerPoint Grid 1.0 Foam Roller
This foam roller is hands down one of the best fitness investments I’ve made. The grid design is fantastic for deep tissue massage, helping to break up knots and tension after a tough workout. I use it mainly on my legs and back, and it provides instant relief, especially after leg day. Unlike cheaper foam rollers, this one maintains its shape and firmness even after repeated use. The size is also perfect—not too bulky, so I can easily store it or take it with me when traveling. If you work out regularly or deal with muscle stiffness, I highly recommend getting one of these. It really helps with recovery and flexibility!

Runner’s Best Friend
I run recreationally, but like many, I enjoy pushing myself hard and find myself with considerable muscle soreness after really long runs.Rolling out my legs before, and giving special attention to sore muscles after my workouts, changes everything. Before rolling, my calves would be so sore and tired immediately after running that I could barely walk straight; with this foam roller, I feel more recovered 20 minutes after a workout than I used to 2 hours after. It’s not merely superficial pain relief either, I can go from walking with a compensating limp from soreness to walking with vigor after a few minutes with this.More than that, I’ve been able to work out considerably more often, and I feel more confident than ever that I’m working out injury free thanks to rolling my ITB and other problem areas before running. In the month after ordering and using this roller, I dropped nearly a minute from my 10k pace – about 5 minutes from my total time.Be aware that this is not a massage roller. Although I’ve said it helps with pain relief, rolling with this may hurt a bit itself at first. To call this “firm” is maybe unfair, because its core is completely rigid, covered with a foam layer just thick enough to give it texture and grip so it can be used effectively. The first dozen or so times you use it, you may need to ease your weight onto it and take it easy. However, I found that after a week or so it not only didn’t hurt, it felt outright good – I would go so far as to say comfortable thanks to the excellent foam layer. Having used this, I can’t imagine hoping for comparable results out of a compressible, all-foam roller.As for the rest, this roller is simply well designed. It’s lightweight, very durable and water resistant (including sweat), the foam layer doesn’t look stressed out or cracked from use, even though I live in an extremely, disturbingly dry climate. Nothing is peeling, nothing is deformed, nothing shows even the slightest sign of wear. It’s as good as the day I bought it, and I wouldn’t hesitate to pack it in my gym bag or trunk without fear of crushing the shape. Top notch, look forward to years of happy use.

one word…awesome!!!
i carry most of my stress in my shoulders and lower back and its gotten to the point where only really hard massages can help. i’ve scoured the city for good massage places ranging from overpriced spas to shady chinese joints, but rarely only few can deliver a satisfying massage. i finally found a masseur that can deliver a decent massage at a moderate price…but still it was a luxury that i can only afford once a month. after using this foam roller, i can say the massage i got is at least comparable if not better than the one i go to once a month!i got this with some hesitation, after all…how much can a piece of log help? but it was a goldbox deal, and due to the high ratings i’ve decided to give it a go. i am so freakin glad i did because this thing rocks!!!i didn’t know how much i would enjoy using my own body weight for the massage this little thing delivers…i’m the type who like to just relax during a massage. i felt like this might feel more like a workout instead of a relaxing massage. however, this thing reaches muscle pain you didn’t even know you had! The massage it brings feels so good and relaxing…therefore, the process of utilizing your own bodyweight virtually goes unnoticed!the size is also perfect, i live in an nyc apt so i dont have a lot of room. this foam roller is small but super good quality. the color is also really cool, which is an added bonus. i got the black one with a neon green interior, it looks sleek and modern and matches my decor.i leave it right next to my bad so i can just collapse onto bed after using it…thats how relaxed it made me feel. next time i’m gonna try a hot bath then use it…i think it’ll be even more beneficial. bottom line, i’m so happy i made this purchase. it’s totally worth the money and more! i would buy it again even at full price.

J’ai acheté ce rouleau pour soulager des problèmes de tendinite aux tendons d’Achille.J’en suis vraiment satisfait. Grace aux petits picots présents sur le rouleau, ça procure un massage en profondeur qui a, il me semble, accéléré ma guérison.

Llevamos poco utilizándolo pero hasta el momento muy bien es muy fácil de utilizar y además es más flexible que el anterior que compramos. Lo recomiendo.
