I was disappointed that this roller was too hard, sorry had to send it back. I wish the roller was softer, was anxious for it to work.

The roller is softer than the one that my physical therapist uses, and I like that. It's firm enough to work out your knots, but not so hard that the pain is excruciating. The only problem is that mine is out of round, which I didn't discover within the return period as I was mostly lying on it lengthwise initially.

I had bought cheaper models and they break down quickly. Have had this one for a year and it is still like it is brand new. It is very firm, but that is how I like it anyway.

Arrived promptly and in great condition. I'm not sure of the difference, if any, in the green and blue foam rollers, but the red foam is MUCH softer - sure it's more comfortable, but it's probably ineffective. To foam roll effectively, you need something fairly firm. Many good products describe how to use these effectively - I like Mike Boyle's stuff. Foam rolling should be done BEFORE stretching as it is necessary to change the tissue density before attempting to change its length.

I use it in Pilates class. Bought one for sister & niece to use at home. They love it and use it daily.

I am a runner and workout frequently and the body roller has been great for rolling out my back and IT (iliotibial) band. It is very firm and works well.

My chiropractors recommend it, and I must tell you how thankful I'm. If you want to save your co pay or chiropractors visits, buy this product, Search internet or youtube to how to use it and thats it. In few days, you every body part will be in perfect aligment and no pain.

The reason I bought the roller was to help with stretching my lower back. This was exactly what I needed.The roller is soft and firm at the same time. It holds up to repeated full body weight lying on the roller. I would recommend this product to anyone that deals with lack of flexibility or tight muscles.

Quality product and easy to use for stretching the spine and opening the core.Firm enough to balance and use with pilates exercise.

After trying other foam rollers, talking with my massage therapist and my Chiropractor I settled on this particular one. It's highly recommended by my Chiropractor who also does physical therapy. I work out with heavy weights as well as lots of cardio (biking, running, etc) 6 days a week. This roller warms up my muscles before my work outs and cools them down after and it only takes just a few minutes. It's amazing. Muscle soreness has been greatly reduced as well as all knots from sitting all day are worked out. If I didnt work out, I would still roll just for the massage and pain relief alone. I use to get massages 2-3 times a month..NOW? only once a month (and I only do it because i love it - not because I need it) A cool side note, my core strength has been greatly enhanced by the use of this roller in order to roll properly you will deveop core. My husband use to laugh at me everyday...but recently he has had some knots in his back. I convinced him to roll and now he is HOOKED!! I cannot EVER be without a roller....this particular one is of EXCELLENT quality and will not deform. I am suprised how relatively inexpensive this is because the stores carry inferior ones for about the same price. Buy this one.

Just as described! Great product - I'm still learning how to use it most effectively, but I'm impressed thus far.

Hi! I love the roller and have sent all of my clients to the site to order one for themselves.

After using a roller at my physical therapist, I decided to get one for home because I loved the one she had. I probably should have gotten the exact one she had there, but I tried to save a bit on money by buying this one. It is still a decent roller and has held up well, but it's a bit too firm for me. It hurts my tailbone at first when I lay on it.

Oops. wrong itemI was tryiing to review a different foam roller so I have to go find that one.

This roller is better because it's solid and will not collapse. This is an important feature because hollow rollers just don't hold over time.

We purchased the Pro-Roller from our PT Office. I like the firmer style. It soon started to geto out of round, oval. It got worse over time. I called the factroy, the number is on the product. I had to send them a picture, it was obiviously out of round, made several followup calls and finally got a replacement, shipped free, from the factory. The replacement, looks new, is out of round. We will look for a product that has better quality control.

This item is great for loosening tight muscles and relieving stress. Use daily for best results. Does not compress like the foam rollers. Very good quality.

I ordered the green marble foam roller from this merchant, but received the pink instead. I am returning it. The pink roller is very soft and not what I am looking for. I have been using a solid blue foam roller (normally, the darker the color, the firmer the roller)at my PT, and it works well for muscle soreness and spinal alignment. The pink roller I received will not work for me. I also ordered the black foam roller from J fit and am awaiting its arrival.OPTP Pro Foam Rollers - Full Round 36" x 6" Green Marble # PFR36OPTP Pro-Roller Soft - Pink Marble

My physical therapist recommended this exact item. I ordered it and it got here EXTREMELY quickly. It was new, wrapped in plastic, and boxed well. It was everything I expected it to be. It exactly matches what I use during my PT sessions. It is light weight, yet rugged, does not seem to peel in any way, etc. It should hold up nicely because this exact item is probably used all day long in the PT office. They don't have a whole bunch of them, they have this one, and some other colors/types, which means it gets lots of use and appears new still, etc.

I've had this foam roller for awhile now and its by far the best I've had. It hasn't lost its form at all with almost daily use from a 185lb person!
