RunningInCircles May 2017 10:15am, 22 May 2017 1,775 posts	0 RunningInCircles These are good tptherapy.com Not the cheapest, but good and will last. Those with a plastic core are imho more effective and tolerate more weight. Which if you end up doing variations like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDWchJ-Td9M or using a "super friend" to add weight, is what makes the better. Bought from lots of places in the past. Whoever is cheapest at the time I actually got three of the GRIDs from Amazon on a lightening deal. But have used elsewhere.

KatieB May 2017 10:48am, 22 May 2017 7,036 posts	0 KatieB I usually recommend a pretty basic and cheap one to start, just in case you hate it and also because they do the job just as well as the fancy ones. I do take on board the fact that the cheaper ones might collapse, but mine hasn't in the four years I've had it argos.co.uk amazon.co.uk Don't forget to use the fetch/amazon link or the fetch/wiggle link if you decide on one of those.

Badger May 2017 11:27am, 22 May 2017 8,398 posts	0 Badger I have a Grid roller as well. Katie clearly chose a better cheap one than I did (or maybe the problem is just that I'm so much heavier ); mine started collapsing within a few weeks. I'd replaced it within a month, the Grid gets daily use and it is still in perfect condition after 18 months.
AndrewS May 2017 11:51am, 22 May 2017 423 posts	0 AndrewS I have one just like the one on Amazon that Katie suggested. I use it all the time and I am a 'big lad'. Had it for years and it still seems to keep it's shape.
