The Theragun We Recommend the Most Is Only $100 for Prime Day
There are a lot of massage guns out there. Recovering from tough workouts has become a whole sector of the fitness tech market, but as far as we’re concerned, nobody does it better than Theragun.
We were hoping to find our favorite models discounted during Amazon Prime Day—and as luck would have it, the Theragun Relief, the brand’s Esquire-endorsed standard model, is just $100 during the four-day sale, dropping it back to its lowest price ever.
Some percussive massage guns are, honestly, more than the average person needs. We’re willing to bet you’re not an Olympian and your marathon time likely leans amateur, which means the power of the most robust massage guns out there would be lost on you. You don’t need a device with dozens of settings and a whole range of attachments that’ll pound your deep muscles into oblivion. We won’t stop you from buying the flagship model, but just know that you don’t need to.
Per associate commerce editor Bryn Gelbart, the Theragun Relief is just enough. It was designed to be the brand’s simplest and lightest model yet, complete with just three speeds, three useful attachments, and one button. It also features Theragun’s easy-to-hold, signature triangular grip, which Gelbart says allows him to be “surprisingly agile, easily helping me reach my back and shoulders without assistance.”
Plus, the three power settings are more than enough for Gelbart’s household. “Other Theraguns offer more power than the Relief, but after using this one for weeks, I can't see how I would ever need that,” he said, adding that he seldom even considers using the highest setting.
In short, if you need a recovery device that’ll make quick work of your tired muscles after gym sessions and long runs, Gelbart puts it best: “It's simple, intuitive to use, and powerful enough to make those sore legs, shoulders, knees, and toes go away in almost an instant.”
Of course, we must warn you that this deal is so popular, one color has already sold out, so we’d suggest taking advantage soon—unless you’re someone who prefers the pain of both sore muscles and paying full price.
