The next evolution in post-workout recovery is here. The RheoFit A1 — an AI-driven automated massage roller— transforms the traditional foam roller experience by combining autonomous movement, precision targeting, and professional-grade myofascial release.
Designed for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone seeking efficient recovery, this 2.3 KG device delivers hands-free relief while supporting up to 135 KG, setting a new standard for accessibility and performance in at-home wellness.
A Solution to Traditional Recovery Pain Points
Traditional foam rollers rely on manual effort: users must leverage body weight to glide textured surfaces over tight muscles, a practice that demands technique, knowledge, and often feels like a "second workout." Massage guns, while powerful, can cause hand fatigue and inconsistent pressure. For RheoFit’s founding team — marathon runners and engineers — these frustrations sparked a mission to reimagine recovery.
“We started RheoFit to solve a problem we all feel every day: why can’t recovery after exercise be easier and more effective? In 2022, as marathon runners and engineers, we found ourselves once again struggling with a foam roller after a long run,” said Adam Sun, RheoFit’s CEO. “Like every athlete, we knew the familiar exhaustion—tight muscles, heavy legs—yet the tools available just weren’t helping. Traditional foam rollers felt like a second round of pain, while massage guns, though powerful, often left our hands numb and sometimes even caused strain.”
The RheoFit A1 addresses these gaps with fully autonomous movement: it rotates on its axis and glides back and forth, eliminating the need for manual effort. Users simply position themselves (prone, supine, or side-lying) and let the device do the work—delivering consistent, targeted relief that mimics professional physical therapy.
AI-Powered Personalization & Intuitive Design
At the core of the RheoFit A1 is its AI-enhanced functionality, paired with a feature-rich mobile app (available for Android and iOS). The app enables quick USB-C-enabled device pairing and offers three key modes:
- AI Mode: Delivers personalized sessions tailored to the peronal needs, leveraging data to optimize pressure, speed, and duration for targeted myofascial release.
- Standard Mode: Categorizes treatments by daily exercise for post-workout relaxation (e.g., running, weightlifting) .
- Targeted Mode: Focus relief for specific parts such as Mid-knee pain, Inner or Upper Knee Pain, etc.
Safety and usability are prioritized for product development: a sensitive touch zone near the LED ring allows for instant shutdown if the user needs to pause mid-session. Despite its lightweight design (2.3 kg), the device’s high-performance motor delivers impressive power—verified during testing, where it effortlessly supported resistance without compromising performance.
Professional-Grade Results with Accessible Innovation
From the traditional Self-Myofascial Release (SMR) to the revolutionary Automated Myofascial Release (AMR), the RheoFit A1 redefines recovery technology with its proprietary AMR system. Catering to diverse user preferences, the device offers two specialized massage covers: the LightDeep Massage Cover (in light gray) delivers gentle yet effective relief for sensitive muscles or post-light-workout recovery, while the premium Black Deep Massage Cover amplifies intensity to target deep-seated tension, delivering professional-grade, intensive myofascial release. Both options preserve the A1’s clinical efficacy, ensuring personalized recovery that adapts to your body’s unique needs — whether you’re seeking mild relaxation or deep muscle rejuvenation.
Priced at $379 USD, the RheoFit A1 positions itself as a premium tool for discerning users. Even though the price is higher than traditional foam rollers, over 20000+ professional athletes and tech-savvy fitness enthusiasts love it!
