"Recovery has played an integral role in my performance and professional success,” said Williams, who has won 23 Grand Slam singles titles in her career. “It's a practice that can benefit anyone with an active lifestyle. That belief is what inspired us to develop a line of products that targets your muscles and can be incorporated into your daily self-care routine."
Will Perform's launch includes the following items as described by the company:
- WILL Relieve Pain Relief Roll-On and Spray, $12.99: Your Pain Relief Powerhouse. A pre/post-workout pain relief roll-on and spray made with 4% Lidocaine and a unique botanical blend to support holistic wellness. The non-sticky, quick-dry formula delivers rapid pain relief.
- WILL Cool Cooling Pain Relief Roll-On, $12.99: Your Ice Bath On The Go. A pre/post-workout cooling pain relief roll-on made with menthol, camphor and a unique botanical blend to support holistic wellness. The non-sticky, quick-dry formula gives fast, icy pain relief to muscles and joints.
- WILL Soothe Daily Muscle Soothing Lotion, $15.99: Your Post-Shower Ritual. The lotion is formulated as a powerful, ultra-moisturizing blend of magnesium and ceramides to support optimum recovery. The hydrating lotion offers a soothing daily recovery blend.
- WILL Rest Nightly Muscle Recovery Lotion, $12.99: Your Nightly Ritual. A nightly recovery lotion that helps give muscles and mind the rest and relaxation they need overnight. Formulated with a serene blend of lavender and geranium to support best sleep and fused with magnesium and vitamin D for recovery, the rich formula offers a soothing nightly recovery blend. Use on shoulders and neck before bed.
"I love transforming the mundane into a new experience that consumers will be excited to incorporate into their daily lives," said co-founder Eric Ryan. "You can't expect people to adopt a ritual if it's not enjoyable, and that's where Will Perform feels truly disruptive. These are beautifully designed and thoughtfully formulated self-care products that consumers will look forward to using."
