Environmental Storage: To maintain the longevity of the foam, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this roller suitable for beginners? A: Yes. The GRID® is an excellent starting point for most athletes. If you require a much firmer experience, consider the Grid X.
Q: Can the hollow core hold weight? A: Yes, the reinforced hollow core is designed to be more durable than standard solid foam rollers and can easily support the weight of an adult athlete during rolling sessions.
Q: Are there other sizes available? A: This model is 13 inches long. For users who prefer a wider surface area for the back or glutes, the GRID 2.0 offers a 26-inch length.
Q: How often should I use the foam roller? A: For best results, incorporate rolling into your pre-workout warm-up to increase mobility and your post-workout routine to aid in recovery. Rolling for 30–60 seconds per muscle group is a common standard.
