GoFit Foam Roller — 36-Inch

Overview

The GoFit Foam Roller is a classic recovery tool for self-massage and muscle compression. At 36 inches long with a 6-inch diameter, this size gives you enough surface to roll along the full length of your back, or to lie lengthwise on it while working through shoulders, hips and legs. The firmness and density are chosen to assist with recovery after a strenuous workout or to help relieve pain.

It’s a favourite of personal trainers and physical therapists worldwide, and it also comes in 18" and 24" lengths if you want something more portable. Care is straightforward: wipe it down with a soft cloth, mild soap and warm water, skip abrasive or chemical cleaners, and keep it out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures.

Things to consider

• At 36 inches it’s the longest option — handy for lying lengthwise, but it needs floor space and isn’t the easiest size to pack in a gym bag.
• Check the roller before every use for nicks, tears, holes or other damage, and stop using it if you see any wear.
• If you have an injury or ongoing pain, check with a clinician before adding rolling to your routine.
• Rolling directly over very tender areas can feel intense — start gently and ease into pressure.
