"Handling More Load" A Must-read for Competitive Ironman Athletes

We have to give a shout out to Michelle Simmons for her unsolicited and honest review on the RecoveryPump system.  She covered our sentiments exactly in her latest blog titled “Handling More Load”, a must read if you’re curious about exactly how the RecoveryPump can help you, really.

There are a lot of products you need to compete in a triathlon: wetsuit, swimsuit, goggles, run shoes, nutrition, bike.  We all know that list is longer but you get the idea. So do you need the RecoveryPump system to compete? No. Will it improve your recovery time faster than any other at-home modality? Yes.


If you’re a competitive athlete, training demands combined with obligations in daily life will wear you down. It’s a cyclical effect and over time your body passes the point of no return. Without proper recovery, the work you’ve put in to your body can’t fully be absorbed. With proper rest and nutrition you’re on the right track but the reality is we can’t always get enough rest or always eat the right things, it’s just a fact of life.  The RecoveryPump jumps in here and offers a medically-proven, convenient way to recover the muscles and fatigue at home. No trips to the massage therapist, no scheduled appointments to plan around, no pit stops to the convenient store for bags of ice, just really serious muscle recovery where and when you need it.

RecoveryPump is revolutionizing the way serious athletes can recover at home, every day. With adequate recovery time you’ll reduce the risk of injury and be able to perform hard each and every day. This change in recovery can lead to better race times and peak performance because as Michelle puts it, you can “handle more load”.

Thanks again to Michelle for the great review and perspective many competitive athletes can relate to!

Train Hard. Recover Harder.
