A big part of an athlete’s workout routine is focused on the recovery of sore muscles. Foam rollers — like the Living.Fit Foam Roller — are a much cheaper alternative than going to see a massage therapist, or spending a couple of hundred bucks on a massage gun. Not all foam rollers are the same. Some are smooth, some feature deep ridges on the surface, and some are even small enough to fit in a bag for a trip.
This foam roller from Living.Fit is 36 inches long, and features a six-inch diameter which is great for targeting large muscle groups. The surface is covered with a ton of small hexagons to work out any kinks you may be experiencing, and the ethylene-vinyl acetate build ensures that it won’t lose its shape in a few short months. If you’re someone who is looking for a reliable foam roller to warm up before working out, or for recovery post-workout, we think Living.Fit has a really solid option thanks to its price and durable construction.
Main Takeaways
This foam roller is 36 inches long, and has a diameter of six inches. This sizing offers a large surface area that can target all of your muscle groups.
The surface is covered with small hexagons that provide a solid amount of pressure to work out any knots you may have.
The ethylene-vinyl acetate build will prevent the roller from losing its shape after use, and is designed to last longer than a foam roller that features expanded polypropylene.
Living.Fit Foam Roller
This three-foot long foam roller features a durable ethylene-vinyl acetate build that is designed to last longer than one made from expanded polypropylene. The surface features a hexagon pattern, and offers a solid amount of pressure to work out any knots you may be dealing with.
Living.Fit Foam Roller Highlights
During our time with the Living.Fit foam roller, we noticed it helped us work out the soreness we had from working out the day before. The overall size of this roller (36 inches long with a six-inch diameter) allowed us to lay down on the roller and target our entire back. While we don’t necessarily think this size is going to make much of a difference for small muscles, we do think it increases your chances to effectively work on large muscle groups, such as your hamstrings, quads, and back. We also really enjoyed the textured surface, which is littered with tiny hexagons — it didn’t hurt to use, but still provided a solid amount of pressure.
Some foam rollers are pretty flimsy and will lose their shape over time, but we haven’t found that to be the case with this one. The ethylene-vinyl acetate that is used during the manufacturing process leads to a firm, yet soft roller that regains its shape after using it, and will last you longer than a foam roller made from expanded polypropylene. Since this roller is three feet long, it may not be the best for someone who travels to bring with them on the road. However, it’s still pretty lightweight — afterall, it is a foam roller. It’s also priced for about $25, which is more than what you’ll pay for some low-quality foam rollers, but there are also some rollers out there that will run you around $60. We think this is a pretty solid deal considering the durable material and effective textured surface.
Who Should Buy A Living.Fit Foam Roller
Folks who are looking for a dependable foam roller that isn’t going to break down on them or lose its shape after a couple of months will want to consider this foam roller.
Anyone looking for an effective foam roller for a reasonable price will most likely be happy with this roller.
Since there is a big surface area to utilize, you may have more success in relieving your muscle soreness in large muscle groups like your back or quads.
Who Shouldn’t Buy A Living.Fit Foam Roller
Anyone who travels a lot will most likely want to find a smaller foam roller, or one that can fold to squeeze into a bag.
The larger size here may make it a little more difficult to pinpoint any small muscles that need some TLC.
Athletes who want a more advanced foam roller may want to consider a vibrating roller.
Price
This foam roller from Living.Fit is available for around $25. When comparing this to the rest of the market, you’ll find it to be right around the middle of the competition. There are some cheaper foam rollers out there, but those are likely made of less durable material and may lose their shape at a faster rate. There are also some that will run you around $60, but some of these more expensive ones can fold to fit in a bag — so the added portability is likely driving that price. At the end of the day, this is a reasonable price tag for a durable and reliable foam roller.
Overall Build and Quality
Living.Fit designed their foam roller with a durable ethylene-vinyl acetate build. This material is a safe alternative to PVC — it’s relatively soft and flexible, and it’s designed to last longer than a roller that is made from expanded polypropylene. We also don’t think you should worry about it losing its shape over time. This roller will give a little bit as you’re laying on it, but after a couple of seconds, it will return to its original shape. It’s pretty large at 36 inches long and has a diameter of six inches, but it’s also really light. We think this foam roller is about as durable as they come, and will offer you over five years of usage (possibly more) so long as you treat it properly.
Features
Foam rollers are pretty basic across the market, but the texture of this foam roller really stood out to us. This roller features a textured surface that is littered with small hexagons. Not everyone is looking for the same pattern with their foam roller, but we feel as if this is a happy medium of softness and abrasiveness.
Surface Design
The texture of any product is an important feature, and that’s no different with a foam roller. While opinions may vary on this matter, we felt that the pattern Living.Fit implemented on their foam roller was highly effective. Some rollers are quite smooth while others feature deep ridges, and some even feature a mix of both. Living.Fit has hexagons scattered across the surface of this foam roller — they stick out a little bit, but not to the point where they hurt during use. We felt like they provided the right amount of pressure to work out our sore muscles.
Color
Living.Fit offers their foam roller in Blue and Black. Companies tend to only offer their foam rollers in a couple of colors, but if you’re wanting some more variety you might want to keep searching.
Product Specs
Living.Fit uses a highly durable, flexible plastic for their foam roller. This ethylene-vinyl acetate build will allow the roller to maintain its shape for years to come. It’s a bit larger than some other foam rollers on the market, but this is ideal for hitting larger muscle groups. It’s worth noting though that due to its size, it might not be the best option for traveling. Some people may also find a smaller foam roller to be better suited for smaller muscles, but we didn’t find the size to be a negative in that regard.
Materials
A problem a lot of people face with foam rollers is them losing their shape after a short period of time. Thanks to the durable ethylene-vinyl acetate build on this roller, we don’t think that’s something you will need to worry about. This form of plastic is the right mixture of firm, soft, and flexible — plus, it’s a safe alternative to PVC. After laying on the roller, we noticed that it regained its shape in just a few quick seconds.
Foam Roller Type
This is a “standard” foam roller. Some companies offer a vibrating roller that might have a higher level of effectiveness, while others offer rollers that can be folded to fit in a small bag. While this roller doesn’t have many bells and whistles, we still found it to be highly effective at relieving our sore muscles.
Dimensions
This Living.Fit foam roller is 36 inches long, and features a six-inch diameter. 36 inches may be a deal breaker for some frequent fliers as it’s going to be pretty difficult to take on a trip with you. But if you’re keeping it at home, this is a solid size since it can cover a large area. While a smaller foam roller may be better suited for smaller muscles (such as your calves, IT bands, or glutes), we honestly didn’t feel compromised when targeting those areas.
Warranties
While Living.Fit does not offer a warranty for this foam roller, they will work with you if you notice any manufacturing defects. This is a high-quality product though, so we don’t think you have much to worry about.
Places to Buy
You can purchase your Living.Fit foam roller directly through Living.Fit’s website.
Company Information
Since 2018, Living.Fit has been dedicated to their mission of simplifying fitness for all athletes. If you want to learn more about their operations, you can send an email to [email protected], and a representative from their team will answer any questions you may have.
Final Word
Foam rollers are a great way to quickly relieve any soreness you may be experiencing from your workouts, or just from everyday life. They’re easy to use and are much cheaper than going to see a massage therapist. Living.Fit has crafted what we view to be a great foam roller that will last you a long time.
The overall size (36 inches long with a six-inch diameter) offers a large surface area for you to target all of your muscles effectively — especially larger muscle groups. The textured surface also applies the right amount of pressure on your muscles without causing any pain. Even though it might not be the best solution for anyone who travels a lot, we still think spending $25 on this foam roller is money well spent thanks to its durable build and effective, textured surface.
FAQs
How do I use the Living.Fit Foam Roller?Using this foam roller is a pretty easy process. Just lay on the roller where you’re experiencing any tightness or soreness, and move your body back and forth to roll it out.
Should I use the Living.Fit foam roller for a specific amount of time?Since our bodies are all different, usage is going to vary from person to person. If you want to spend a few minutes rolling around on your foam roller, then go for it — just be sure to listen to your body and give it what it needs. For the most part though, you should have a target time of no more than 90 seconds to prevent further injury.
Does the size of the Living.Fit foam roller make a difference in how you can use it?While the overall size might not make the biggest difference in the world for everyone, it’s hard to ignore the lack of portability this foam roller provides. While you could certainly toss it in the back seat of your car, it’s going to be pretty difficult to fit in a suitcase. In terms of actually using it though, some might find the length to be more helpful for large muscle groups — but we didn’t have any issues with smaller muscles either.

At the end of the day, this is a reasonable price tag for a durable and reliable foam roller.
Overall Build and Quality
Living.Fit designed their foam roller with a durable ethylene-vinyl acetate build. This material is a safe alternative to PVC — it’s relatively soft and flexible, and it’s designed to last longer than a roller that is made from expanded polypropylene. We also don’t think you should worry about it losing its shape over time. This roller will give a little bit as you’re laying on it, but after a couple of seconds, it will return to its original shape. It’s pretty large at 36 inches long and has a diameter of six inches, but it’s also really light. We think this foam roller is about as durable as they come, and will offer you over five years of usage (possibly more) so long as you treat it properly.
Features
Foam rollers are pretty basic across the market, but the texture of this foam roller really stood out to us. This roller features a textured surface that is littered with small hexagons. Not everyone is looking for the same pattern with their foam roller, but we feel as if this is a happy medium of softness and abrasiveness.
Surface Design
The texture of any product is an important feature, and that’s no different with a foam roller. While opinions may vary on this matter, we felt that the pattern Living.Fit implemented on their foam roller was highly effective. Some rollers are quite smooth while others feature deep ridges, and some even feature a mix of both. Living.Fit has hexagons scattered across the surface of this foam roller — they stick out a little bit, but not to the point where they hurt during use. We felt like they provided the right amount of pressure to work out our sore muscles.
Color
Living.Fit offers their foam roller in Blue and Black. Companies tend to only offer their foam rollers in a couple of colors, but if you’re wanting some more variety you might want to keep searching.
Product Specs
Living.Fit uses a highly durable, flexible plastic for their foam roller. This ethylene-vinyl acetate build will allow the roller to maintain its shape for years to come. It’s a bit larger than some other foam rollers on the market, but this is ideal for hitting larger muscle groups. It’s worth noting though that due to its size, it might not be the best option for traveling. Some people may also find a smaller foam roller to be better suited for smaller muscles, but we didn’t find the size to be a negative in that regard.
Materials
A problem a lot of people face with foam rollers is them losing their shape after a short period of time. Thanks to the durable ethylene-vinyl acetate build on this roller, we don’t think that’s something you will need to worry about. This form of plastic is the right mixture of firm, soft, and flexible — plus, it’s a safe alternative to PVC. After laying on the roller, we noticed that it regained its shape in just a few quick seconds.
Foam Roller Type
This is a “standard” foam roller. Some companies offer a vibrating roller that might have a higher level of effectiveness, while others offer rollers that can be folded to fit in a small bag. While this roller doesn’t have many bells and whistles, we still found it to be highly effective at relieving our sore muscles.
Dimensions
This Living.Fit foam roller is 36 inches long, and features a six-inch diameter. 36 inches may be a deal breaker for some frequent fliers as it’s going to be pretty difficult to take on a trip with you. But if you’re keeping it at home, this is a solid size since it can cover a large area. While a smaller foam roller may be better suited for smaller muscles (such as your calves, IT bands, or glutes), we honestly didn’t feel compromised when targeting those areas.
Warranties
While Living.Fit does not offer a warranty for this foam roller, they will work with you if you notice any manufacturing defects. This is a high-quality product though, so we don’t think you have much to worry about.

Final Word
Foam rollers are a great way to quickly relieve any soreness you may be experiencing from your workouts, or just from everyday life. They’re easy to use and are much cheaper than going to see a massage therapist. Living.Fit has crafted what we view to be a great foam roller that will last you a long time.
The overall size (36 inches long with a six-inch diameter) offers a large surface area for you to target all of your muscles effectively — especially larger muscle groups. The textured surface also applies the right amount of pressure on your muscles without causing any pain. Even though it might not be the best solution for anyone who travels a lot, we still think spending $25 on this foam roller is money well spent thanks to its durable build and effective, textured surface.
FAQs
How do I use the Living.Fit Foam Roller?Using this foam roller is a pretty easy process. Just lay on the roller where you’re experiencing any tightness or soreness, and move your body back and forth to roll it out.
Should I use the Living.Fit foam roller for a specific amount of time?Since our bodies are all different, usage is going to vary from person to person. If you want to spend a few minutes rolling around on your foam roller, then go for it — just be sure to listen to your body and give it what it needs. For the most part though, you should have a target time of no more than 90 seconds to prevent further injury.
Does the size of the Living.Fit foam roller make a difference in how you can use it?While the overall size might not make the biggest difference in the world for everyone, it’s hard to ignore the lack of portability this foam roller provides. While you could certainly toss it in the back seat of your car, it’s going to be pretty difficult to fit in a suitcase. In terms of actually using it though, some might find the length to be more helpful for large muscle groups — but we didn’t have any issues with smaller muscles either.
