The past 12 months have marked one of the most prolific periods of product innovation in Hyperice's history, spanning every major technology category in the company's portfolio.
"To be named to Fast Company’s list for a second time is a proud moment for our team and a reflection of the pace at which we are able to innovate," said Jim Huether, CEO of Hyperice. "The Hyperboot with Nike, the Hyperice X 2, Normatec Elite Hips, and the all-new Hypervolt 3 line represent the most ambitious stretch of new technology in our history. We're proud of the work and even more motivated by what's to come."
The past 12 months have marked one of the most prolific periods of product innovation in Hyperice's history, spanning every major technology category in the company's portfolio. In partnership with Nike, Hyperice introduced the Hyperboot, a first-of-its-kind wearable recovery device built with feedback from Paris 2024 Summer Olympians. The collaboration brought together Nike's footwear expertise and Hyperice's recovery technology to create a fully integrated device designed to accelerate lower-body recovery, setting a new standard for wearable wellness.
Building on the momentum of the Hyperboot, Hyperice launched the Hyperice X 2 Knee and Hyperice X 2 Shoulder in August 2025, representing the most significant technological leap in the company's contrast therapy line to date. The Hyperice X 2 devices introduced a built-in multi-level compression system that drives heat and cold deeper into tissue, an expanded temperature range from 40°F to 121°F, and a new all-in-one display for cord-free portability. Hyperice then unveiled the Normatec Elite Hips in October 2025, the first fully portable, standalone dynamic air compression massage device engineered specifically for the hips, IT bands, and lower back, eliminating the need for separate control units.
Most recently, in March 2026, Hyperice launched the entirely redesigned Hypervolt 3 product line, including the Hypervolt Go 3, Hypervolt 3, and Hypervolt 3 Pro. The new line delivers a quieter, more intuitive experience, with more power, a longer battery life and larger head attachments for deeper relief. All three devices are FSA/HSA eligible, making professional-grade percussion therapy more accessible than ever.
The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company’s editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world.
“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies is about spotlighting organizations that don’t just adapt to change—they drive it,” said Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “The companies we honor this year are redefining what leadership looks like in 2026, pairing bold ideas with measurable impact and turning breakthrough innovation into real-world value. They are setting the pace for their industries and offering a blueprint for what sustained innovation can achieve.”
