Hyperice - Vyper 2.0 Vibrating Fitness Roller - Black

It took a while to get used to this Hyperice Vyper 2.0 roller but I did or shall I say I’m still working on it. It’s intense and takes some getting used too. Which I’ve learned is a very good thing, you just gotta stick to it.

I have never used a fitness roller before this one. With that said I want to say that it actually works.. or i think. This vibrating roller is able to target problem area in which i need to work on during my work out. This is achieved 2 days. First the density of the roller is firm, this allows me to put full body weight on it while stretching. The second way this roller assists in my workout is b vibration, it has 3 setting which range from heavy to extreme (in my opinion). There really isint a light vibrations setting. Never the less, when i want to get to the deep tissue i need the extreme setting. All settings of vibration are controlled by a toggle on the side of the unit. The only minor setback is the noise this creates, its nothing too alarming, but all in all its a bit louder than i had expected. It makes it hard for me to concentrate or have a conversations. All in all, noise aside, a very solid performing roller.

The Hyperice Vyper 2.0 is just okay. For me, it’s a combination of two useful tools that might not need to exist, at least not at this price point. Similar products with favorable features can be found for less than half of the price of the Vyper 2.0. Additionally, a quality, separate vibrating massager with far more features and a separate, more feature-rich roller could be purchased together for just over one third of the price of this device. For traveling or for stuffing in a gym bag, I see the value on combining the two tools into one. And, it isn’t that this device lacks function or is generally poor; it works and it does what it promises to do. But, it does so with a feature set far lower than the competition at a price that is painfully higher. With the vibration turned off, the roller under-offers. It lacks the unique contours found on many other rollers, such as angles or bulges that might be useful for addressing varied trigger points from different vantages. It also lacks any topographic nuance, like nubs or patterning that might offer different pressure across the roller and might offer a massaging effect in and of themselves. One feature that sets it apart from many other rollers on the market requires the following caveat: it is incredibly slick. On any non-carpeted surface or even against many clothing materials, this massager will slide around. This is especially annoying when rolling a smaller area of the body or when balancing less weight on the device. As such, without vibration, the Vyper 2.0 is inferior to any other $20-$30 roller on the market. I find vibrating massagers in general to lack any real feeling of massage. While the device has multiple levels of vibration, the highest level is loud and bounces on non-carpeted surfaces unless you’re putting most of your body weight on the device. Battery life when using higher levels of vibration are mediocre. This wouldn’t be as big of an issue if the device charged over USB, but it uses a proprietary charging port. If you’re traveling with this roller or taking it to the gym, you’ll need to bring along the dedicated charger. Although the build quality seems great, the product as a whole, is just not for me.

Its wireless/works on battery 4. It works on muscle sores 5. TSA rated, So you can take it in your carry on Cons ---- 1. Expensive at 199$ Review ------ I saw this product on youtube and i decided to get it for my herniated disc. There are good videos on the hyperice (manufacturer's website which you can use for your exercises. I think using the roller, i am able to get relieve on my sore back. I also tried some of the other exercises like Gultes, Calf and Hamstring Muscles and i feel that after a round of exercise, the feeling was very good. It actually works better than a massager and since you are exercising on top of it, it has a double effect. This is the first time i am using a roller so i do not have the experience with a non-vibrating roller to compare against, but i think the roller vibrations along with the grooves really help relax your muscles. It has three vibration settings and i am more comfortable with the second level. I currently exercise my back on a regular basis and it seem to be helping. It does seem to last an hour and forty five minutes which is close to the rated 2 hours. I think this is a keeper! If only it was a $50 cheaper, i would have given it a 5*

I tested this after a good leg workout so I could really compare it to the standard foam rollers I’ve used for years. I’ve never enjoyed foam rolling with sore muscles. It’s just too painful. I also wasn’t expecting much difference with a vibrating roller. It sounded a bit gimmicky. Wow, was I pleasantly surprised! In my experience, when rolling sore hamstrings, glutes & calves, the initial pain you feel when you put your weight on a standard roller is pretty excruciating, & the pain doesn’t lessen much even after a session of slow rolling. However, when I tried the Vyper roller, my experience was radically different. The initial pain lasted just a few seconds, but then I was able to quickly put more weight on the sore muscles & cover more area in a shorter timeframe than when using a standard roller. The biggest surprise was just after rolling. It felt more like I’d had a manual deep tissue massage. I could immediately stretch & move without pain. I’ve never felt that great after standard foam rolling. I would definitely recommend this as a replacement for the standard foam roller. What a great invention! Wish I’d had this years ago.

This thing is strong, like good strong, so don’t panic if you see bruises or marks on your body. I think if they used these vibrators in other devices, then men would become useless.

Love this product. It is a foam roller that vibrates and massages you. When I first bought this I was a bit skeptical about it especially because it was kind of pricy for a foam roller. After using it a few times I feel in love. Just make sure you use it on carpet. If you use it on laminated floor or wood it is very loud. If you live in apartments be mindful of your neighbors below you.

This is a MUST for athletes. Before and after workouts this gives you an amazing stretch. Way better than the theragun roller also, I’ve owned both.
