Rally founders John Benjamin and Mike De Santis’s health essentials

John Benjamin founded Rally after watching his father, a lifelong athlete, struggle with intense muscle spasms and plantar fasciitis. Determined to create deep, penetrating muscle relief without harsh or unwieldy methods, he partnered with Mike De Santis, co-founder and CEO of Doris Dev., along with a team of designers, engineers, and sports medicine experts.

The result is Rally, an orbital massage tool now used by professional athletes worldwide. We recently caught up with John and Mike to discover their go-to health and wellness products beyond their own innovation.

John Benjamin’s Health Stack

John Benjamin, Rally co-founder.

Bose Open Ultra Earbuds

I’m one of those terribly annoying people who’s always wearing headphones. Instead of having to take out my earbuds and yell “what” every five minutes, I bought (and love) the Bose open earbuds. You can hear the world and your audiobook at the same time.

Möller’s Cod Liver Oil

“While camping in Norway, my wife and I had the chance to stay with the family who produces Möller’s. You can see the fish pens right from their kitchen window.”

Ororo Heated Vest

“I spend a lot of time in the country. I’m always outside and always cold. I wear this everyday in the winter. (The battery pack even works as a cellphone charger.)”

Rally Orbital Massage Tool

“Our international team invented Rally out of personal necessity. There wasn’t an intuitive or powerful enough recovery tool. It took us three years. I use it everyday.”

Everlast “1910” Boxing Gloves

“I’m slowly building out a gym on the top floor of an old barn. If the gear isn’t Rogue, it’s this throwback collection from an iconic brand.”

Oura Ring

“I wear my Oura Ring 24/7. It’s comfortable and delivers a ton of helpful data. Tracking sleep and heart rate has been most impactful. Sometimes you need a little tech to either give yourself permission to slow down or nudge you to push when you’ve actually recovered—even if you’re not feeling it.”

Momentous Creatine Monohydrate

“I was on the fence about creatine for years, but finally made the jump and haven’t looked back. Momentous Creatine has become a daily staple. I’ve noticed improved mental clarity and consistent power output.”

Huel Black Edition

“My days can get hectic, and I’m not always looking to eat a full meal mid-day—it tends to slow me down. Huel Black is loaded with protein and everything else I need to keep moving, without the crash.”

Sett

“I’ve always enjoyed nicotine but wasn’t thrilled about the long-term tradeoffs. Sett gives me a cleaner option. Similar benefits, fewer downsides. The L-theanine is a bonus—it helps smooth things out and keeps me relaxed.”

Mary Ruth’s Vitamins

“I originally started taking these for hair health, but I’ve become generally obsessed. I take a mix in the morning and at night—it’s part of both my startup and wind-down routines.”
