Tune Up Fitness Treat While You Train Kit with Jill Miller and Kelly Starrett, 2 DVD Set and Full Roll Model Self Massage Therapy Ball Set, Improve Mobility, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy

I love this product. It's a bit pricey, but worth it. The video is very nicely done, with clear instructions and demonstrations. The hosts are friendly and engaging without being condescending or "cute". The segments are divided by section of the body, and include just enough terminology and scientific concepts so that you feel that you know what you're doing and why you're doing it. Really, the only improvement that I would like to see would be if the video had captioning. The balls are nice, too. The mesh bag is handy for storing all the smaller balls (not the big one once it's inflated), and the littler pairs come in their own bags so that you can use them in peanut-shape. Haven't had a lot of time to use everything, but I can already tell it's making a difference.

Haven't used it regularly, but can't wait. Early results are good.

This is an incredible set of training videos... a great introduction into the world of myofascial release therapy and a must for athletes and people recuperating from athletic injuries. The balls work exceptionally well; after a year of use, they still work perfectly. I'm a huge fan of Kelly Starrett's Mobility WOD site and his Supple Leopard book. I bought this video set after dislocating my shoulder, but long after fully recouperating I continue to use the information and the balls to improve my mobility. I found that these techniques also work well for gaining greater flexibility when coupled with yoga. Other posters complained about the price tag on the set, but I feel like the instruction is well worth the cost... it will improve your quality of life! This training has improved my athletic ability and is a core part of my daily fitness routine. So painful, but so good!

I do the “Treat While You Train Class” at 24 hour fitness and it’s amazing. I was looking for the therapy plus balls when I came across this set. I was super excited to find this so I could do “classes at home” as well as have the full spectrum of therapy balls. The dvds are very informative but they are not in the format of a class whatsoever. I think this would be a great set for an athlete or trainer, but I was looking for a dvd that just had me do the exercises. This dvd goes into lengthy discussions about the body and muscle groups and so forth. It spends a lot of time getting technical and educating but it is not an instructional video. I should have bought a different dvd by Jill Miller and just purchased the balls I needed separately.

The balls are amazing. I use them on all the trigger points in my body and I use them to supplement stretching though I think they are better then stretching. Gets in every grove to separate, and using in side to side motions helps unglue muscle fibers. It is also nice to use in circles on areas of discomfort and clench and release to get blood flowing in the area (blood is really important for muscular recovery). The dvd is amazing, teaches all the techniques and areas to cover, really points out that you need to work above and below areas of joint pain. It is more informational than the other dvds they sell, so you get all the knowledge you need and don't really need the other dvds they sell. The only thing I got out of the other dvds (particularly her upper body and lower body series was 1 or 2 stretches to do per body part which is nice but I think the self care kit and the balls as sold here is all you need). ***An important note - don't be afraid to just use your hands or the wall to put pressure on the balls, because there will be tissue that it will be to rough on to use your body weight. Particularly the musculature and ligaments above and below the knee. 2nd piece of advice do not listen to them telling you to roll on the it band. They tell you before to work on the muscles above and below it so I don't understand why though show rolling on the it. Your IT Band is connective tissue that multiple muscles connect to, do not massage it as that will abuse it, massage the muscles that connect to it and the parts where they connect. A lot of physical Therapists including my own when I was injured say to never roll the it band. There is even online articles, I once tried it and agitated the tissue so leave that IT alone! Best of luck and Good Health everyone :)

First of all, these yoga balls changed my life forever for the better. No matter how much positive stuff you may read about them, they are even better than that. Just get them. I did want to caution people that the description of this product says you will get TWO Alpha balls, but actually the set only has one. So keep that in mind. Hopefully the seller updates the description to make it obvious what is in the kit.

I'm very upset that this dry doesn't come with the alpha twins in their bag. There is only one of the larger sized therapy balls in this pack.

See my combined review under "The Roll Model" book -

I’m a Pilates instructor and a runner who one time sprained her ankle (skiing) so was advised by my Pilates instructor, to gain more mobility in my ankles to try this. I of course wanted to try the whole kit and so this was the cheapest option at the time. It is very good, but hurts like billy-oh so I don’t do it as often as I should.

ich kann dieses set nur empfehlen, vor allendingen für diejenigen, denen die fazienrollen zu hart und oder unbehaglich sind. weiterhin kommt man mit den bällen auch an stellen, wo eine rolle schon aus größentechnischen gründen, nicht punktuell hinkommen kann.. mit der mitgelieferten dvd einfach ein guter einstieg. ich habe mir noch zusätzlich das dazugehörige buch gekauft und würde dies, gerade anfängern, empfehlen!

Die Anleitung per DVD ist auch auf Englisch sehr gut verständlich. Die Bälle sind einfach klasse, bieten unglaublich viele Anwendungsmöglichkeiten und haben einen super Grip. Für regelmäßige Anwendung oder auch für vereinzeltes Lösen von Verspannung einfach top. Der Preis ist es wert!

...zeichneten das aus, was ich für stolze 81€ plus geliefert bekam. Der grosse Pilatesball weist akute Lagerungsspuren auf, das Material ist leicht schmierig, scheint sich also bereits aufzulösen, ist ausserdem nach dem Füllen kein Ball, sondern ein Ei. Die Lagerungsfalten bleiben auch nach dem Füllen bestehen, lauter sichtbare Risse, die sich nicht glätten lassen durch die Luftfüllung. Auch nicht nach Tagen(des guten Willens). Ähnlich bei den Gummibällen. Erstens gibt es es akute Verschmutzungen und das Material ist am grauen Ball bereits porös, bei den grünen und blauen Bällen sind diese so lange in den Netzen gelagert worden, dass sich das Muster der Netze in die Bälle gedrückt und eingraviert hat. Vermutlich lagert dieses Bälleset seit Jahren, was den Materialien sichtbar schadet.Die Hülle der DVD ist ebenfalls eingedrückt, es wirkt, als ob dieses ganze Set aus irgend einer Ecke gezogen wurde, in der es über längere Zeit engequetscht lagerte. Gibt es dieses Set auch in Neu und in einwandfreier Qualität, welche auch eine Preis von 81€ gerechtfertigt? Wer so etwas anzubieten hat, sage bitte Bescheid. Was hier für diesen stolzen Preis geliefert wird ist geradezu beschämend. Die Materialkosten an sich dürften bei diesen Gummibällen minimal sein, dass ich für Name und Marke draufzahle,war mir bewusst, für so einen hohen Betrag erwarte ich aber Neuware und einwandfreie Qualität und nicht so ein schmierig-klebriges, eingedrücktes Produkt voller Alters-und Lagerschäden.

I am quite a posture and self-maintenance geek. I knew quite a bit about body rolling before, but this stuff brought me to the next level. I like the balls as they are not too hard and they have this grippy quality that allows you to do all those special stuff with it. I recommand.
