Alexandra Ianculescu is a Romanian‑Canadian Olympian. As a former long‑track speed skater, she competed for Romania in the women’s 500 m at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, with dozens of World Cup races under her belt. She later transitioned to professional cycling in Europe, chasing qualification for the 2028 Summer Olympics.

How do you integrate the Revo red‑light panel into your packed daily athlete schedule?

Between heavy cycling training, competition commitments and university studies, I use my Revo session mostly after hard rides. It slots seamlessly into my recovery routine and does not take up large amounts of extra time in my busy day.

What noticeable physical changes has Revo brought to your athletic body?

I feel reduced persistent muscle tightness and post‑workout soreness in my legs. Improved joint and tissue mobility helps me stay ready for back‑to‑back intensive training sessions on the bike.

When does Revo deliver the most tangible benefit for you as a competitive cyclist?

It offers the greatest support during dense race calendars with continuous competitions. My body builds up substantial fatigue in those periods, and reliable light‑therapy recovery helps me avoid burnout and hold steady competitive performance.

Why is consistent red‑light recovery essential for chasing your Olympic‑level sporting goals?

To pursue my Olympic ambitions I must sustain high‑volume training week in and week out. Revo accelerates my recovery, supports tissue regeneration and lowers cumulative wear while I balance elite sport together with my academic workload.
