Hyperice Launching 2 New Wearable Heat Therapy Tools in SA

Recovery and performance brand Hyperice is already making a name for itself after becoming a partner of the Springboks and other key sporting bodies, including the likes of the UFC and NBA; and the brand is set to launch two new products in SA to add to their growing list of recovery tools.

Hyperice is set to launch the Venom Go and Venom 2 in South Africa later this year. Featuring HyperHeat technology, the new recovery tools promise the fastest, most consistent and even distribution of heat yet to assist sports enthusiasts and athletes with relieving sore, stiff muscles and promoting wellness.

HyperHeat Technology

With the launch of Venom Go and the Venom 2, Hyperice also introduces its new HyperHeat technology which the brand says delivers a faster, more consistent distribution of heat across a greater surface area, allowing for a more premium experience for users.

“In 2015 we were getting requests from NBA players for a product that could heat the body pre-game and keep the body warm when they came out of the game. Our answer was the Venom, the first heat and vibration wearable device, released in 2017,” said Anthony Katz, Hyperice Founder. “Over the past five years, the user base for the Venom has expanded far beyond performance athletes to everyday people who use the Venom to manage pain and soreness. The Venom 2 is a complete redesign and upgrade from the original model – every aspect of the product and experience have been improved.”

Venom Go

The ultra-portable Venom Go advances the capabilities of the Venom line even more. The portable heat and vibration wearable therapy device enables athletes to enjoy heat and vibration spot treatment in more areas than ever before, such as the neck, shoulder, upper and lower back, calf and forearm.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the Venom Go can be used almost anywhere, with unmatched versatility and customisations, delivering instant muscle relief wherever the body needs it most.

The Venom Go consists of a control pod that magnetically connects to an adhesive pad and is applied directly to the skin. Venom Go pads are reusable approximately 20 to 40 times each (depending on placement on the body and any sweat, lotion or oil that may be on the skin). The pad covers 87 square cm, allowing users to receive direct treatment to more areas of the body than ever before.

Users can select from 3 levels of heat and 3 levels of vibration via an easy-to-use button control on the pod. Sore and stiff muscles can now receive instant treatment, with the Venom Go reaching up to 45°C in 90 seconds after being applied to the skin – or just 20 seconds prior to being applied to the skin.

The Venom Go control pod and pad weigh just 90grams and the device offers up to 60 minutes of battery life and treatment time on a full charge. A standard treatment session is about 10 minutes per area. The Venom Go can be charged via USB and is TSA approved for use while travelling. Utilising Bluetooth connectivity, the Venom Go is controlled via the Hyperice App, with users having the ability to sync multiple pods to deliver tailored spot treatments across different areas of the body at once for a unique heat and vibration therapy experience.

“The new Venom Go is a revolutionary product for us as it widens the application of our Venom technology and addresses the need for a powerful heat and vibration solution for spot treatment,” said Jim Huether, CEO of Hyperice. “It’s been six years since the début of heat and vibration technology from Hyperice, we’ve now significantly enhanced the Venom user experience and added our patented HyperHeat technology, all while staying true to the core elements of the original product that made people fall in love with it. The Venom line is one of our fastest growing product lines, and we expect this trend to continue in the U.S. and throughout the world.”

“With the Venom Go, users will be able to experience the same benefits they have grown to know and love in the Venom line, but in many more targeted areas for relief,” added Huether. “This product is amazing for anyone with soreness, stiffness or pain in targeted areas, and furthers our mission to help as many people as possible improve their daily lives through recovery and movement.”

Venom 2

If you’re really serious about recovery, then you’ll want to invest in the Venom Go’s big brother, the Venom 2. According to Hyperice, this wearable recovery device is the most advanced heat and massage wrap on the market and carries on the legacy built by the original Venom line, which revolutionised the traditional heating pad for consumers.

The Venom 2, comes in versions for the back, leg and shoulder (left or right), with this new iteration more than doubling its treatment area, increasing the overall heating surface by 111%. The device is encased in a new silicone surface for easier cleaning. The Venom 2 delivers up to three-hours of battery life on a full charge, and heats to 55°C in just one minute (four times faster than the original Venom). Now weighing just 0,9kg, this new version of the device is 23% lighter than the original Venom.

“Heat therapy is such a critical component of my routine, from preparing for a game and getting my shoulder loose, to treating sore muscles in my arm between practices,” said Patrick Mahomes, Hyperice Athlete-Investor and Super Bowl Champion. “From pre-game, to the training facility and home, the Venom line allows me to optimise my performance. The new Venom 2 improves the experience and I know will be a popular tool in the locker room.”

The Venom 2 is controlled via the Hyperice App using Bluetooth connectivity, enabling users to unlock more routines to maximise and customise time, heat and vibration while using the device.
