GoFit 6-Inch by 18-Inch Foam Roller with Core Performance DVD

This product, viewed solely as a foam roller, should get 1 star only. It is too soft and loses it's shape very quickly. I also find it is not long enough for some of the rolling that I do, and thus is not quite as stable. It also starts to fall apart with regular use, getting both deformed and quite awkward. All of this said, I rated it 3 stars because of it's size... while not good in normal use, it is great for travel as it tucks neatly into most suitcases.

I found it works good for loosening tight muscles. I have other brands of foam rollers in other sizes. So far mine is holding up fine after a few weeks of use and this one seems of comparable quality to my other rollers. The Miracle Ball Method: Relieve Your Pain, Reshape Your Body, Reduce Your Stress [2 Miracle Balls Included] are also helpful for muscle loosening. I use those in addition to the foam rollers.

Works great, until it goes flat. Mine was clearly losing its roundness after about 10 uses. I weigh about 175 pounds, and roll for about 10 minutes each time. I'm very disappointed that this one is going flat so quickly; I have a plain white roller that I bought from my local gym for about $2 more than this one, and it is still round after 8 months of daily rolling.

I replaced this foam roller with an Exervo Nimbus which uses compressed polyethylene beads and is MUCH more durable. These foam type rollers only last a few months before the foam breaks down and gets mushy. The Nimbus has lasted 6 months so far and still looks nearly new.

I am on my second one in six months.
Bought it at Sports Authority.
I am 150 pounds.

I am an every day user and it just does not hold up.
Loses it roundness quickly and then degenerates
from there.

I will be returning this one

DVD is very good
and buying a much better quality one for much
less money.

There are few good ones on the inetrnet but the cheapest one ($8.99) is STILL of far better quality than this one.
My yoga studio has the cheap one and I could not believe the difference.

If you are over 100 pounds and are a daily roller, don't waste your money!!
