I absolutely love this! You put the sphere in the freezer for 2 hrs(just the sphere) When you want to use it ,unscrew top of holder and put sphere in.Screw the top lid on and use. Make sure the top is on securely. I use this under my shoulderblades.It massages the muscles well , and takes the ache and tension away. Love this!

Im dealing with painful joint pain and tendonitus. Ice packs are ok but lose their cool pretty quick. This thing lasts forever. Like the candy in Charlie and the Chocolate factory last for ever. As a test I would use it for a half hour and leave it out in room temp then use it again and its just as cold as when I first used it. In fact I left it out and tried it hours later and still it was cold. Added benefit is the massaging ball portion. Im very happy I got this and I bet you will be too!
Jody Watson
It holds the coldness for a while. Used it on my tennis elbow. Did help with the pain. Would be better if you could attach a grip or something on the bottom of it when you’re applying pressure to affected areas. Shape of the base makes it difficult to hold. Otherwise good product.
Stephanie Utta
Really helps alleviate pain & Discomfort.
Jarrett McDonald
Bought as a Christmas gift for my fitness sister and she loves it. I also happened to hurt my neck before christmas and it came in the mail that day so I snuck in using it and omg it felt amazing and relieved a lot of the pain 10/10 recommended.
Thomas Gilliam
I ruptured my ACL, and have never been the same since. This thing works! I was a little skeptical at first, but after reading reviews I decided to try it out! Hands down, so happy I did! It’s a game changer! It really helps with inflammation! It’s a must get!
Kathleen Collen
I keep this in the freezer. When ready to use I let it sit for about 5 minutes I’m a migraine sufferer and this feels awesome on my face and neck.
Percy Winters
The Spotzie Fitness Cold Roller is absolutely amazing. After purchasing one, I ended up buying another for a friend who had a similar, but cheaply made plastic Chinese version. This cold roller is worth every penny and a great investment in yourself. It stays cold for quite some time and is very easy to screw and unscrew. Packaging and shipping were superb as well and it comes with a carrying bag!
Jana Saunders
One of the most fantastic things I’ve ever purchased from Amazon. It’s helped me with so many injuries and just feels good in general.
Shannon Collen
This is great.Functions as two products...roller and "ice bath/cryo".We use this after training workouts and races.Only minor complaint is that the frost/ice builds up on the ball and it you put any pressure on it when rolling, the ball doesn't want to spin.The lighter you press, then it will start to roll again.We just try to roll it on clothes first before a bare leg and it gets most of the frost off.
Ian Churchill
Amazing! I bought it for my husband for Christmas. He has lower back problems and I thought it would help for evenings after work. One piece of advice when freezing the ball, take it out of the holder. Only freeze the ball. I ended up buying an additional one for my dad. It has been awesome, I have even used it. Great for back aches, shoulders, arms, legs etc... keeps cold (freezing cold) for hours. If your looking for something to help ease pain and aches and that will last longer than average ice pack. This is it!
Maria Smith
Bought this as a gift for my athlete/LMT boyfriend and he LOVES it. Puts it the freezer nightly, takes it with him during the day, still cold when he gets home in the eve. Uses on his legs after running, but primarily on forearms and elbow tendinitis. I have used for plantar Fasciitis.
Jody Copper
If you have an athlete - you must have this!Better than the freezing a Dixie cup of water, can be packed for travel, freezes quickly.Penetrates and helps healing.
Clara Black
Bought this for my boyfriend, but I’ve been using it too. Great product, ball moves within the “socket” smoothly, stays cold for a really, REALLY long time and you’re able to pinpoint problem areas easier than I thought with it. I recommend! I just wish they had a “heat option” with it, like a heat ball you can switch out with the cold one in the device so you can have the options of hot and cold rolling relief :)
Jennifer Colage
This product really helps with hard places like your neck or behind your legs. I really enjoy this product.
Bettina Watson
Helps relieve soreness caused by two spur in my right foot. This is much better than using a recycled water bottle filled with ice, which is messy when ice starts to thaw, causing condensation. I use with a pair of thin socks, I find it too intense with bare foot on the ball itself. After each use I remove from the housing and wash the ball, dry, wrap in small towel then replace back into the freezer. Note: Do Not leave in plastic housing and place in freezer. Place only the ball alone into the freezer.
Patricia Hamning
This solves all my problems with portable ice packs or baggies of ice that melt everywhere. I am a massage therapist and have incorporated this within my rehabilitation and sports massage sessions. Stays cold all day! My kids even use it after sports to ice inflamed tendons.
Ethel Cavenaugh
Dear God, how can something so simple be so effective? The ball stays cold and rolls easily. I freeze it out of the container because it's easier to clean and i don't want to hold onto something freezing. $40 seems a bit steep, but i paid $20 each for ice packs that get warm in half the time and don't work as well, so it seems fair.Container has a great grippy surface, and this seemingly simple contraption is helping reduce the swelling of a torn tendon better than everything else I've tried.
Carlton McDonald
Love the concept of combining old fashion ice therapy with old fashion massage therapy! Easy to use just about anywhere on the body! Maybe you guys can invent an extension to be able to reach the back, kind of like a back scratch or selfie stick which folds. Obviously, it would have to be sturdy enough to withstand the weight of the Ice Roller and the pressure while massaging ones back. Otherwise, I love this Magic Ball!!!
Marcia Ingram
This thing is awesome for tight and sore Lower backs. As long as you have someone to roll it on your back you'll be impressed with the relief you receive from such a simple tool.
Emily Bowden
Perfect cold massage tool! This is the only one you will need! Stays cold for a very long time! Easy to clean and very versatile!
Quincey Johnson
It worked but very noisy I don’t know if it was manufactured wrong but it was very noisy when trying to use it the ball felt like it was very loose it did stay cold for around six hours but every time you used it the ball moving around and making noise was just too much returned to Amazon
Alice Collen
The temperature lasts at least three times as long as typical ice packs, and the sore area can be massaged while being chilled.It is particularly well suited to self massage shoulders and fits well into the groove where my inflamed biceps tendon inserts into the shoulder.
Anthony Anderson
I love this product.I bought it for my plantar fasciitis and it really makes a difference.I also use it on sore muscles after working out and it really helps.I use this product at least a couple of times a week.It stays really cold for hours so I can even freeze it then bring it to work and use it during lunch and it’s still ice pack level cold.Great product.
Gordon Forman
Wow, great product for treating, & icing injuries without the mess of using ice!Not to mention, that this stays cold for a long time.We keep the silver ball in a Ziploc bag in the freezer, so it's ready to use when needed.
Tiffany Hunter
What an awesome product! This really is cold and it’s held in so you don’t feel the cold applying it . Nicely balanced, perfect to size, incredible product highly recommend!
Mary Ellen Blum
I had to wipe the ball down a few times before using itbut that was expected. Since inflammation swells the affected area causing pain, the cold massage is great for reducing it and the pain ... great idea!
Marilyn Yeager
I like it a lot. It works for me. I haven’t tested out if it keeps cool for 6 hours but we will see. It’s portable, it’s a great size to take with you on the go. What a great invention it is! Very COOL.
Mark Churchill
I'm recovering from a torn rotator cuff and using the Ice Roller post-physical therapy reduces pain and I believe it's helping to move recovery along more quickly.I keep it in my freezer and it's ready to go.Much more effective than the gel pads I had previously been using.
Jennifer Seguro
I was very skeptical about this roller before ordering it. I get sport massages weekly and have an expensive japanese massage chair that I use often. But in between real massages I realize my arch has some discomfort and my IT band continued to get inflamed.My therapist recommended a trigger release ball or something to use in between our sessions. When I found this product I was worried the reviews looked too good to be true, but I can say without a doubt while accounting the price this roller -THIS IS one my favorite sport therapy items EVER!First up the good:The casing screws together to holds the ball in a manner that itcan move in all directions flawlessly.The sphere once frozen overnight will hold temperature for a long time (over an hour). I used it for 30 minutes straight and it was still frosting over. I couldn't see anyone needing it longer than an hour, but I didn't test it beyond that point.The cold therapy paired with a solid object allows you to work out any bunched up muscle issues and decrease inflammation quickly.The only item requiring improvement:The base is a little small, it's perfect for holding and rolling over problem areas but its not stable enough to maintain its position on the ground. While using in it's ground configuration the base constantly rolls over itself. Overall, and well worth the price! Start your healing now.
Bob Churchill
This is way more convenient and less messy than an ice pack and feels great.I find it really helps with inflammation in my arms and calves, but I use it pretty much anywhere.I bought a second one for work so I wouldn't have to take it back and forth.It really does stay cold for 6 hours (in my air-conditioned office).I have another brand also, but the ball is smaller and doesn't stay cold for as long.Highly recommend!
Gordon Makna
The Spotzie cold massage roller is an amazing product. I fractured my heel a few years back and because of that my posture has been "off". I use this on my feet and heels everyday (mostly) with tremendous results. A family member had a hip replacement back in September, I suggest she try the Spotzie and she also saw much improvement...less soreness and a better range of motion. This roller is amazing and I completely recommend to anyone!
Bettina Brown
This is a great replacement for messy ice packs the only issue I had with it was the duration, it's only cold for about 2-3 hours after that it chills down pretty fast but I still luv it and would recommend it for sore muscles relief it's great
Jeffery Adams
My elderly parents deal with leg cramps in the middle of the night on a weekly basis. Nothing has helped them more than this product. Until we can find a cure, I'm glad we found this.
Donna Hunter
I have really loved using this product. I can ice my shoulder or knee, sit it down on the coffee table and 45 minutes later, it is still cold. No more getting up and down trying to keep an ice pack cold enough to use. I have a heat pad and now an ice pack for when I need to apply ice or heat to an injury. It arrived cold enough to use right out of the box! lol and it stayed that way for about 1.5 hours, then I put it in the freezer. It also works if you just put it in the fridge. I have tried keeping it in the fridge and it still stays cold for hours out of it. I will be interested to see how well it stays cold this summer when it is 108 outside and not so cold in the house. I will let you all know!
Dawn Holiday
After recent shoulder surgery and previous back surgery I needed something to massage specific areas directly after workouts. This is great!The roller ball stays cool for quite a long time. I can chill it, pack it in my gym bag and use it directly after my workout.
Julie Watson
The only reason it’s nit 5 stars is the ball really does stink of metal! I read this and thought “I’ll get over it..” but it is really bad. Works great though!
Donna Dixon
Very easy to use and wont strain you hands like some other products. You can remove the ball and use in place of a foam roller, however it's a bit difficult to keep control of when using it that way. You cant heat it at all for heat therapy, but that's a minor issue to me. Its filled with some kind of "cooling gel," and it always seems cold to skin, even without keeping it in the freezer. Would recommend
Orson Churchill
I ordered this for frozen shoulder and tendonitis in my shoulder. It works well and stays cold. I haven't tested the six-hour claim, but it definitely stays cold long enough for me to get good use out of it. One thing to note -- before I bought it, I was under the impression that it was a vibrating unit for some reason. The manufacturer does NOT make this claim, and I'm not sure how that would work with a unit that goes in the freezer. So I'm not offering that comment as a knock on the manufacturer at all -- just a point for other customers to be aware of (and possibly a suggestion for future products!).
Angela Conway
I have a lot of joint pain.I like cold therapy so when I saw this advertised i figured i'd try it.It delivers on every claim including how long it stays cold after taking it out of the freezer. It's easy to use, and can be used all aroundjoints that are hurting.. I use it on shoulders, knees and neck. My wife uses it on hands and feet!
Kenneth Anderson
This is exactly what I needed.When the elbows are hurting this roller does the job of relieving the pain.Actually, I used it for any area that is sore and it always works in relieving the soreness and pain.
Morris Beyord
Purchased one for myself as I had some tendinitis at the top of my hamstring. A bit challenging to use there but I do so when watching TV on the couch. Not having to deal with the leaky moisture from ice packs nor the stiff shape of a frozen moisture-free pack is key. This thing rolls easily on the skin surface.I was introduced to this from my chiropractor who used it on me. When he did it stung a bit as it kind of stuck to my skin as he used but I have not had that problem at all.We purchased an additional one for our massage therapist who travels to peoples home. A PERFECT gift for him as now he can do some of that hot/cold treatment even when he is away from his home office! This thing really stays really cold for several hours.
Jana Seguro
The cryro sphere of far better than any ice bag or cold gel pack for relieving pain. With this sphere you can apply as much or little pressure on the sore area. The ball stays cold for hours. It's almost too cold straight out of the freezer. I let it sit for about 15 min to warm up.
Bonnie Seguro
Bought it for my husband who had a hip replacement.His leg still hurts even after 8 months.It works well, even though it’s a bit heavy and you have to have good size hands to hold it.I use it too, just for general massage and good to get blood flowing.
Reginald McDonald
I ordered this product not becuase I have any pain but because I now suffer from horrible hot flashes and most products for hot flashes only remain cold for a short period of time. When I read that this remains cold for 6 hours I decided why not give it a try. Well after receiving it yesterday, I placed it into the freezer for 2 hours. After that it was such a relief for me to have something stay cold enough for me to use for these hot flashes as long as this did. My husband did not believe me that it was super cold and when I passed the roller on his arm he pulled back due to how cold it was. I would recommend this to anyone who suffers from being hot
Stephanie Pierce
I use it for all kinds of reasons. On my face/ stomach for tighter skin. After workouts. I have now ordered another for my sister who just had hip surgery and I will buy one for my brother for foot relief.I’m a fan.Instructions of easy and funny, don’t lick the device lol.
Jarrett McDonald
This stinger has been great. I've been using it for any sore muscles I can reach - hubby has to use it on me for sore muscles I can't reach. The combination of cold and rolling pressure has helped my tired, sore muscles. That said, it does seem to be overpriced.
Jennifer Ingram
Fantastic product.I’ve had golfers elbow pain for over a year.The pain reduced but never went away. Finally after almost 12 months, I went to a doctor and he sent me to PT. After several visits of stretching, message, strength training and ultrasound, pain reduced but never went away. Ultrasound helped but message and ice therapy seemed to provide the most relief. Came across the Spotzie fitness Ice Roller cold message roller. Perfect combination of cold therapy and message therapy. Finally after 10 days of use, golfer elbow pain gone. I have used it also on my medial knee pain with great results also. Love this product.
Marcia Cavenaugh
I love it. I’ve always been injury prone and very in-tune with my body and its aches, pains and inflammation. It’s fabulous. Brings down inflammation almost instantly, thus, the pain and stiffness. I’m getting my brother one who just had knee replacements.
Conrad Adams
I am just an old retired guy trying to stay active and young. I don't move as fast, or heal as fast as I use to.I have been using the Cold Massage Roller Ball for a week now on some areas that feel a some the strain from my morning workouts and I am impressed with the results.
Anthony Darden
Awesome! Does the job. Very helpful for after my workouts or for injuries.
Sarah Cavenaugh
I love this so much!! I had the regular ice cup for pain management and it broke in the freezer and plus it made a huge mess while using. I was skeptical about paying so much for something I didn’t think would help me at all because I have pain absolutely everywhere! My back, hips, thighs all the way down to my toes. I usually prefer heat to help but this feels so amazing! Plus if you forget to put in the freezer it will still feel cold just more comfortable on skin to skin contact. I had this in my cart forever because I didn’t think the price would be worth it and if you are having that same conversation with yourself just say it’s ok you’re worth it and something to help ease your pain is definitely worth it!!!!
Mary Jane Douglas
As soon as this product arrived, I put the ball in the freezer for the recommended two hours so that I could try it.It is a great tool in helping to control localized pain.I have fibromyalgia which means I have a lot of pain in many parts of my body and the Massage Roller got a good workout right away.It really does work.I will be using it often as it did a good job of reducing the pain I was feeling that day.This is a really good product and I would purchase it again.It is easy to hold and as long as I used it over my clothes I wasn't bothered by it being too cold.
Jennifer Blum
I used this the first day I got it and it really helps with muscle tightness and soreness. It doesn’t take too long to get cold and it stays cold for quite a while. I used mine on the thighs and shoulders for almost an hour while I was watching tv. It’s a little expensive even though the container that holds the metal orb is kind of flimsy and feels like thin breakable plastic. I just have to be careful not to drop it.
Clara Jordan
I absolutely love this. I wish they made a smaller version for my face. It is heavy so I did purchase a smaller one but not same company and it only stayed cold for 10 min. This one stays cold longer.Please make different sizes.
Quinten Johnson
I have been going to PT for my foot, which hurts a lot.My PT spends 30 minutes releasing tightness and alleviating pain. Then 30+minutes of exercises. Afterwards, this icy ball is rolled around on the areas she released and areas I really worked during the exercises. It provides such an amazing relief! So much so, I purchased my own, hence this review. Lol. It works far better (and longer than ice packs (which I quit using on my foot). I highly recommend!It is simple. Open the box. Put the ball inside the container. Pop it in the freezer. When ready, pull it out and roll it on the area needed. It stays cold a long time, then refreeze. Happy healing!
Bettina Black
My runner said he really liked this.Took it in the car on his long run today and said it was nice to ice right after, rather than having to drive home first.Won’t replace and ice bath, but good for a quick ice roll.
Angela Edwards
Wife wanted this for after practice/bouts. She's a roller derby queen.Now, understand, she's a solid 140lbs., 5'6".She gets home after practice and has me roll her hamstrings as hard as I can..."OMG, YOU GOT MY FAT!!!"Pressing hard, her skin got caught between the ball and the holder.After the third time, I gave up.We took the ball out of the case.Three marks on her hamstring, a husband that won't help anymore and the woman still LOVES IT.She ain't right.
