Testimonials

"Sportsbalm is a great product! The wide range of products in their line cover all of a cyclist's skin care needs - chamois balm, Start Oils and heat oils for cold, wet days! It all works towards keeping me going all year long - even through the coldest and wettest cyclocross races."

"My first race in the United States was the U.S. Open back in April. I was very worried because I wake up and first time I see such snow since Italy! I was very happy to use the Sportsbalm Red Balm on my legs. I even put some on my back and chest! I think Sportsbalm helped me stay warm and have a good race. I also like the Cajeputi Oil, it is good for rub before a race and the Wash Lotion for after."

"On a cool early June morning, in a tent on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, I find myself asking myself the same question I ask myself at every race: "Is this race worthy of of my sportsbalm product?" Luckily we are supplied with plenty and I am able to apply a nice layer of mild active start oil to get the blood circulating and keep the legs warm in the early hours of the race and a fair amount of creme in my chamois. As the time passes and we are coming to the end of the 6 hour race I find myself still quite comfortable and glad that the Sportsbalm chamois creme that I applied earlier in the day is still keeping my underside buttery smooth."

"Each Sportsbalm product keeps impressing me with every use! I use Sportsbalm every day for training, racing and recovery. It works fantastic while riding in the mountains where it is cold to hot temperatures in California while stage racing. Target Training Women's Pro team is lucky to have a sponsor like Sportsbalm that is so well-rounded for cycling."

"I have been using Sportsbalm products for many years. Sportsbalm has always produced quality muscle care products, and the new line elevates that quality to an even higher level. Western Pennsylvania is infamous for its wicked, nasty weather and Sportsbalm products turn an indoor training day into quality miles on the road. Training or racing in cold, rainy weather without the benefit and protection of Sportsbalm is a recipe for injury.

"In my 15 years of racing I've used just about everything a person can use as warmup creme. Finally I found something that is truly effective! Sportsbalms "red system" medium balm is the perfect cobination of texture, consistency, scent and functionality. Medium balm warms up the legs but doesn't get so crazy hot that it becomes uncomfortable. Even better yet, the consistency is thick enough that it adds a layer of protection to the elements. Using Medium balm and a pair of leg/knee warmers is similar to wearing a pair of winter tights without the bulk! If you're serious about cycling than you owe it to yourself to treat your legs to the best sportscare products available!"

"Since our elite riders compete against some of the best professional and top elite teams in the nation, we are always looking to get an advantage wherever we can find it. Our riders started using the SportsBalm System 4 years ago, and we continue to use SportsBalm products all year long for training, racing and recovery. SportsBalm products give our riders the protection they need from the harsh elements from winter training out doors, to the hot days of racing, and recovery balms are especially beneficial during the stage
races."

"I have used other products in the past. What I like about Sportsbalm is it warms up quickly, without a painful burn that some products yield. I have received the desired effect of warming my muscles up and keeping my legs comfortable on 40-50 degree days. This is absolutely crucial in cyclocross, where the biggest efforts are in the first few minutes. You cannot afford to be cold on the start line, literally or figuratively. Sportsbalm Medium has been great so far. I look forward to using Sportsbalm Hot, on the really cold days. Any product that keeps you warm and loose on a 40-degree day, without the need for additional tights or warmers is a competitive advantage in my book."

"When I line up for a wet or muddy race, and I see competitors wearing
knee warmers or tights, I feel like I have an advantage because I am
going to stay warm, and they are going to be wearing wet lycra all
day."

"For me, the most important gain I've noticed from using SportsBalm has been injury prevention. I've been plagued by recurrent knee injuries for my entire cycling "career," for lack of a better term, and although I've been lucky in recent years the cold weather really causes my knees to flare up. Since I started using SportsBalm--a generous coating on my knees whenever the temperature dips below 50 degrees--I've noticed a marked improvement in my ability to handle cold-weather training."

I have been using Sportsbalm products for a full year now. I'll keep it plain and simple. Sportsbalm works! I've used the Hot Balm on those 5 hour days when it was 10 degrees and my legs never felt cold. I've also used the Medium Balm when it was 40 and raining and never got a chill. Also, for those spring races when it's a bit chilly, use some warm up balm and you won't need those leg warmers. I can't think of any training or racing situaton where I wouldn't use Sportsbalm.
