Hyperice Core Premium Smart Meditation Trainer

Complete waste of money! I bought it at Target and then it said the code was being used by someone else. I sent my receipt to customer service and they gave me a new code. Then I was able to login and use the device once and NEVER again! I open the app and it says I have “poor network connection” despite full connection. I contacted customer service again and they said it was a glitch they were working to fix. I kept checking in for weeks until I was close to the end of the Target return window. They said they would send me a new device which they did. Once the new one came, I was able to use it once. I went on vacation and three weeks later, it’s back to the same glitch!!!!!!!! The intro session seemed great but who cares now that I’ve now wasted hundreds of dollars, time, and frustration on ONE 10 minute mediation!!!! I’m beyond furious!!!!!

I have started using this almost nightly and I absolutely love the guided meditation. Keeps my mind fresh after a long day.

Five stars for Core, zero for the bundle, so averages to 2.5 stars. I originally got the Core with the bundle for my son. He tried it briefly but it wasn't quite the thing for him. I contacted Hyperice support to see if I could get the bundle app switched to my phone, but they refused to do that even if it wasn't being used at all where it was. So, we love some of your products, but this one was a waste for us.

The device is fine, but it’s uncomfortable holding the device after a few minutes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Core Meditation Trainer is a handheld meditation aid that uses vibrations to help you focus and guide your breathing as ECG sensors measure your mindfulness and its companion app tracks your progress. There's no calibration necessary with the Core; you open the app, you pick it up and you're good to go. While there is a dizzying array of meditations to choose from if you dig in, the app's algorithm selects one for you on its home screen so you can start right away. Core by Hyperice is by far the best meditation guide anyone can use. I tried them all and could never establish a daily practice, until Core came into my life. Meditation is no longer a chore, but something I actually look forward to. I’ve been meditating four months straight without any gaps. Definitely recommend!

This device is AMAZING. I am a meditation and Yoga instructor. A friend recommended it and I was skeptical. I borrowed hers for a week and it has changed my life. I have 159 days straight. It is my go to gift for everyone. Thank you for this great product!!!!

not what I thought it would be. Disappointed & a waste of money

Great product and great shipping ans customer service . It's an honor to shop with your company Thank you

I can’t use it because I don’t have my code and I’ve emailed support as instructed twice, zero response. Pathetic and unprofessional.

This device is a game changer. While the vibrations are helping me with my breath work, the HRV feedback is where the magic is and it’s helping me change my overall health and well-being and it’s helping me be mindful of what I do or do not consume for optimal sessions and feedback. Love this device.

Great for meditation and relaxation and breathing techniques!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never been able to meditate before. I have tried but find it difficult to just sit. All of the YouTube videos and podcasts I have tried telling me to visualize, and I can’t do that. I enjoy that this has a tangible object to hold that I can focus on instead. This device looks nice, it isn’t something I would necessarily want to hide away if company were coming over. I like the variety of options for classes. The classes are broken down by category so you can find things that relate to your current needs easily. You can also filter by many options to help find exactly what you need. While you are using the device, it vibrates to help with your breathing, and it monitors your pulse to give you scores at the end to tell you how focused you were so you can see that you are improving. You can also use the app without the device so if you aren’t home, you can still meditate. I am disappointed in the battery life of the device and the length of the charging cable. The charging cable is so short that it barely reaches my bedside table from the plug, but it has to basically stay plugged in when it isn’t being used because the battery doesn’t last very long. I do wish that you could have multiple profiles with one device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wanting to get into meditation for a while and this is the perfect device. It’s small so it doesn’t take up too much room and charges pretty fast. I can control everything from and app on my phone. The app gives you hundreds of videos to choose from to do your meditation right from your living room. Great for beginners and advanced.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an incredible mediation tool! For years I have been wanting to have a regular meditation routine to help lower my stress levels and I have never had much luck at actually figuring out how to quiet my mind. Using the Core I am finally able to meditate! For the first time I am able to achieve a clear, quiet mind and I can feel the stress relief in my daily life and I am sleeping so much better. The device itself is beautiful and very pleasant to interact with. It was quick to set up, comfortable to hold, and easy to use. I would recommend to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live with depression and some anxiety and have attempted mediation briefly previously, without much success as my mind would continually wander. Core connects with an app, which works best with the subscription. The unit itself measures your heartrate and works to determine your focus and calm states during session. It also vibrates, which really helps with breathing techniques and focusing in on the present. The app provides a whole library of guided sessions from beginner walkthroughs to advanced and sessions to help ready you for sleep. The voices are soothing and the guided sessions were just the piece I was missing to get the most out of mediation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this core with my friend and we both love it. He's huge into daily meditation and has taught me how to use it effectively and it's helped significantly! Being newer having guided meditation is crucial for me but I have never gone to a studio to learn the proper techniques. This "ball" or whatever you want to call it helps regulate my heartbeat to ensure I'm relaxing in the proper state for optimal meditative effects. The app sync with the device is seamless and it's enjoyable to hold onto this thing. Feels high quality and effective to get into my zen. Highly recommend if you really want to take meditation to the next level.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is my wife’s new favorite meditation tool. She can control it easily and uses it almost every day. It is cool looking and the charger is very convenient. She likes that the stand is plugged in and the core charges just by sitting on the charging dock.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried meditation in the past and was not very good at it, so I was a bit apprehensive with this device. However, I love it. There is something very calming about holding the Core device while you meditate. It gives me something to focus on and keep my mind from wandering during the session. The app was very easy to set up and sync.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a small handheld device that connects with the core phone app to provide support in meditation training. It includes several guided meditation options and breath training techniques. Once you hold the device in your hand and start the meditation session, the device vibrates in your hand and lights up to keep your attention focused and guides you through the breath technique. It is impressive that the device contains biosensors to measure the heart rate and nervous system. The app displays this as biometric feedback including a measure of calmness level and focus level achieved in the meditation session. The device makes it easier to follow consistent meditation training, thereby reducing stress and improving mood. This product comes with the core handheld device, a charging base and a USB cable. It includes a premium subscription to the core app for 12 months. The downside is that since this is a subscription service, there will be annual charges for continuing to use the app after the initial 12 months that are free.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love most things about the core. The product itself is well designed and fits nicely in both my hands and my husband's hands. I love that it supports a healthy meditative practice. The app choices are very engaging. It switches easily between my husband using it and me using it on our respective phones/app accounts. The only downfall is I wish the app subscription could be shared with a partner in the home (and just switch between two profiles) instead of having to buy two subscriptions to use with the same device. (Maybe there's a way to do this that I just don't know.)
