Trainer “Wowed” by the Rotater
March 3, 2010
“I’ve been in the strength & conditioning, fitness, bodybuilding, and training game for a while now – 16+ years. Needless to say, I’ve been around the block a time or two. I’ve had some shoulder issues in the past, and have fixed it all on my own.
Working Class Trainer - Matt Wiggins
I’ve still got very strong shoulders, and rehab/prehab work such as banded pull-aparts and cuban presses are a regular part of my workouts, as well as what I recommend to others. However, my shoulder flexibility still isn’t quite what I’d like.
Then I got The Rotater.
In a word – “wow”. By doing nothing more than some of the basic stretching exercises, my Range of Motion (on both internal and external rotation on both shoulders) had increased by the 3rd day.
My shoulders feel looser and healthier than they have in a long time. What a great product!”

Zach Even-Esh talks about the Rotater
October 21, 2009
Several months ago, I contacted Zach Evenesh and asked him if he’d be interested in evaluating the Rotater. Who is Zach Evenesh?
hardcore, underground strength coach
- the owner of The Underground Strength Coach Gymnasium – a hard core athletic training facility located in Edison, NJ
- Zach holds a BA in Health & Physical Education as well as an MA in Health Education
- wrote ‘The Ultimate Underground Training Manual‘, which has sold around the world
- His clientele consists of high school & college athletes, MMA fighters, Military & Law Enforcement personnel
- Zach is also a regular writer for TapouT Magazine, Men’s Fitness Magazine (as well being part of the Men’s Fitness Training Team) and was recently featured in Muscle & Fitness Magazine
Although he’s considered one of the premier strength coaches who’s constantly traveling and working, Zach responded to my email right away and said he’d be happy to give the Rotater a try.
Here is Zach’s response after using the Rotater:
The premier underground strength training website
“Chris -
The Rotater is an excellent tool for prehabbing and rehabbing the overall shoulder joint. Our athletes have been using it before and after their workouts, especially our Baseball players and they love it. The Rotater puts them in the perfect position for safety and proper execution which makes things easier for us to let them get at it.
Without a doubt, The Rotater should be part of every athlete’s shoulder prehab and health program.”
In Strength,
Zach Even – Esh

Premier Track Coach Reviews Shoulder Rehab Device
September 22, 2009
Mike Young
Mike Young is founder and owner of ELITETRACK.COM, co-owner of Human Performance Consulting and coach of the HPC Elite Track Team. That alone gives him a ton of credibility, but he also:
- holds a PhD in Biomechanics
- has coached at LSU and Ohio University before serving as the sprints and decathlon coach at Army
- served as an instructor or adjunct professor at Ohio University, LSU, and the University of North Carolina
- has lectured for the Chinese Track and Field Association and USA Speed Skating
- participated in 3 Olympics – as an athlete (Lake Placid), as a sport scientist (Colorado Springs and Chula Vista), and as a coach (Colorado Springs)
Several months ago, Mike agreed to evaluate the Rotater. Here are some of the excerpts from the review he posted on his blog – The Rotater and Shoulder Injuries.
…Unlike most of the shoulder stretching and strengthening variations for internal and external rotation that are used in shoulder rehab / prehab, the ones that the Rotater places the athlete in are much less awkward on the shoulder joint because it helps to stabilize the elbow in the appropriate position, limits movement to the shoulder joint while still permitting enough play to at the elbow joint to ensure the stretching and strengthening isn’t turned in to something robotic..
…I think it’s one of the few products I think could be valuable for increasing the performance and decreasing the likelihood of injury in athletes that need to do high velocity, ballistic overhead movements…
Here’s the complete Rotater review and comments.
