The 5 Best glide rollers (2023 reviews)

The urbnfit glide roller is long-lasting, rigid and fits well with your daily purpose like a dream. It’s almost impossible to roll on carpet, needs to be on hard floor. It is great for skateboarding, snowboarding, skiing, and response training for basketball, football, lacrosse, and hockey. It also catches on the board making it harder to balance fluently. It can make you fly a little off board if you're not good at balancing.

This is a fantastic product, good for every fitness level. It comes with lean bodies, and the board already has some cracks in it. It is great for a full workout as well as a few minutes of fun.

Why We Like This:

A great exercise board for core and balance
Super fun, great exercise, kids play for hours
Gives kids a way to move their body in a small space
Great practice for kids to balance on a skateboard and surfboard

Best For runners: Gaiam glide Roller

Buy on Amazon

The gaiam glide roller is suitable and reliable and fits well with your daily purpose. It is somewhat between a traditional "stick roller" and a foam roller. It rolls easily, much like a rolling pin, making it simple to use on the thighs, neck etc. You can roll your shins out COMFORTABLY and EFFECTIVELY with this product BECAUSE of the foam material. Despite the nubby look of the roller, it rolls on smooth and easy not hard, so if you are looking to really "dig" into your joints you will want to look at something else.

The handles are soft and comfortable, the foam roller itself is comfortable yet not too soft. This in turn prevents it from rolling smoothly. It can be used on bare skin as well.

Why We Like This:

Great if you suffer from shin splints
Easy on tired muscles and relieves stress
Not as flexible as "the stick" but certainly a more comfortable surface

Best For shearing With patented hollow Core Design: trigger point performance glide Roller

Buy on Amazon

The trigger point performance glide roller might be a relatively new release, but it's still nothing short of impressive this year, thanks to multiple price cuts and added new features over the past few months. This foam roller is just that much more effective than the GRID roller, but it isn't too painful either, but clearly digs in deeper. It is good for people who are acclimated to rolling. It comes with squeeze and stretch design that shears muscles to promote range of motion and glide. It’s more impactful on those pinpoint areas than need work and helps to break down the adhesions efficiently.

The Rush digs into muscles deep and the increased circulation is euphoric. It isn't quite as comfortable to use as the GRID roller, but it isn't too painful either, but clearly digs in deeper. It is a nice combination of soft enough to be comfortable and firm enough to be effective. For beginners this roller may initially feel pretty intense but with some patience and slow and steady practice, most people will find that they will adjust and reap healing benefits.

Why We Like This:

Highly recommended if you can stand the pain/relief
Good size and quality roller for home gym use
A must have for home gym
