    As a 30+ plus yr old basketball player and athlete. This is easy to carry for use. And applicable for those joints you’ll need to massage or sooth. Also pretty modern when it comes to tech. Maybe, add a rotating head? Overall good buy.

    The wellness features of this model really caught my attention. I had a percussive massager before, but I found my body didn’t react as well as it did for others. I figured I’d need to find one that offered the option for less intensity, not more. That's not quite what this offers. It’s a full-fledged Theragun, with the power to provide the same deep muscle recovery massages they’re known for. It simply has a bit more range… plus an upgraded screen, biometric heart rate sensor, and great app integrations. Unique Features: Breath-work routines are new here, and I enjoy them much more than I thought I would. They are fairly simplistic, but to my surprise the Sense creates great variable vibration against your chest that actually works - much like a cat purring, but with some real energy to it. It grows with subtle intensity at the top of the breath and then drops on the exhale, perfectly matching the routine’s guided visuals in the app. It’s quite effective, more-so than a more basic app-based experience might have been. At the end you get a readout of your heart rate as well, and it’s these programs where that biometric sensor comes into play. After a quick session, I actually did find myself more relaxed and less stressed. Design & Build Quality: Like prior models, this is extremely well built. It has some heft to it and feels very solid when in use. Theragun has always been good at keeping these quiet too, and this one is no exception. You’re much more likely to hear the soft ‘patting’ sound of the attachments working than the motor itself. What’s new is the upgraded screen and biometric heart rate sensor in the handle. It’s just as capable as before, and has a new copper color scheme that looks both fresh and professional. In the box you’ll also get a nice neoprene bag. The bag has no pockets inside, so the whole thing gets a bit too floppy/lumpy with the accessories in there (an additional pouch would have helped), but having a quality bag included is a nice and welcome addition nonetheless. If you do choose to store everything in there, the spikey attachment includes a cover to protect it while stored in this way and the charging cable has its own strap to keep it contained. In practice, I find that I just bag the tool itself and store the attachments elsewhere. But more on that new screen - It’s a small, custom color screen with easy access to up the 5 preloaded routines on the device itself. Directional buttons around the central button lets you navigate to selections. You can choose which preloaded routines you’d like have direct access to and simply sync them from the app to the tool at any time. I definitely prefer using the app to run routines (more on that below) but this is a great way to keep your favorites close at hand and gives you the option to do other things on your phone while using the tool. Fantastic App Integration: Wow, the app is great now. My prior model was very simplistic and it’s amazing how night and day a good app can improve a massager like this. First and foremost is the realtime guidance you get from seeing a demonstration of each movement - this is extremely helpful. You’ll pick up on intended ways to hold the device for each, as well as the speed, angle and direction of movement around an area. My only gripe here is that I wish they were a bit higher fidelity, they look compressed and slightly less up to the polish of the rest of the app, which again, is quite good. Next is the quick access to adjust your speed in the middle of a routine. No need to pause, you can quickly access it and get a big on-screen control to instantly make your changes. Lastly, the music! - not sure why I appreciate this so much, but it rounds out the reasons to use the app every time. Having relaxing music that plays during a routine creates a great, almost spa-like addition. The kind of calm music you’d have when getting a professional massage. You can mute this if you don’t want to hear it. Overall, it’s a great device. I love the app integration and guidance and the new wellness features are surprisingly well designed and useful. —— Recap: The Good Stuff: - Great design and build quality - App is fantastic for guiding proper form and speed - Wellness features work, variable vibration is key! - Preload up to 5 routines to the device itself - Includes a USB-C cable with attached USB-A adapter - Includes quality bag Less than Good Stuff: - Bag doesn’t hold accessories cleanly - Heart rate sensor limited to breathwork / wellness routines. - Would prefer options for even slower percussive speeds or ability to set a shorter stroke distance.

    The Theragun is ready to go right out the box! I did a quick test run on my legs and it is as advertised. It comes with 4 different attachments and each attachment has its own instructions. The presentation itself has a therapeutic open box type experience on its own, basically the box setup alone is very nice. Very detailed with quick tips on the of the Theragun. The instructions are very easy to follow and there is also an app to download. The Theragun comes in a nice black carrier pouch and with more detailed instructions. Five speeds and they do not hurt. It feels good in your hands and it’s not loud. Sounds like a cat purring. The app has a lot of routines to choose from, and make sure you register your product. The Theragun is lite weight and it just looks nice. For me, right after walking is when I use it. It just loosens the muscles up but without the pressure of the Theragun, meaning it doesn’t hurt. It’s very easy to hold and I do have to say that it can hold a charge. You will enjoy the Theragun. With my experience, it’s works good with after stretching.

    Excellent Massager with unique Biometric Sensor

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Includes four attachments: a USB-C to USB-C cord for charging, a USB-C to USB Adapter, the Theragun Sense, and a carrying pouch. It does not include a wall charger (power brick), so you might have to use a charger from another device. The carrying soft cloth pouch is of a thick quality, holds all the accessories, and the zipper is easy to open/close. The Theragun design is more ergonomic than other massagers since it is shaped like a triangle and allows one to get back muscles. The device is lightweight, easy to hold, and used around the body. There is no issue with using this device across tough-to-reach muscles. The gun’s massage volume/noise (depending on the speed level) at the highest level isn’t loud—very acceptable. The multi-button control panel and an OLED screen allow you to set the desired setting for the massager without using the app. The SENSE has three new unique features not found with the other Theragun models: a biometric sensor, guided breath-work, and the TheraMind sound. The biometric sensor is a heart rate sensor. I enjoy These new features because I frequently have difficulty falling asleep at night and after waking up in the middle of the night. These unique features (guided breath-work, biometric sensor, and the TheraMind Sound) help me bring my heart rate down to allow my body to fall asleep. For example, on one use of the product and before starting the routine, my heart rate was 81bpm, and after using the routine in the device, my heart rate went down to 74bpm. This device helps reduce my stress, makes me feel more relaxed throughout the day, and helps me fall asleep much faster. It works so well that I have 2-3 guided breath-work sessions per day and one before going to bed. The use of the Theragun SENSE is now part of my daily routine. After every session on the app, it asks if you want to save your results (heart rate) and routine. The purpose of recording these is to help guide the user through a wellness journey. The only one I saved is the sleep results, and this helps me get to sleep faster every night. The Therabody App has a tone of Routines for the Theragun SENSE. Within each CATEGORY (18 Total) there are a number of routines, Categories are: (1)For Relaxation and Breath-work (4 routines), (2)For Walking (5 routines: Calves, Quads, Lower Back, Walk Recovery, Pre-Walk Warm-Up), (3)For Running (12 routines), (4)For Upper Body Workouts (9 routines), (5)For Lower Body Workouts (14 routines), (6)For Upper Body Pain (8 routines), (7)For Lower Body Pain (14 routines), (8)For Cycling (9 routines), (9)For Sleep and Relaxation (6 routines), (10)For Yoga and Studio Workouts (8 routines), (11)For Full Body Workouts (9 routines), (12)For Travel (6 routines), (13)For Outdoor Adventures (9 routines), (14)For Field Sports (16 routines: Golf Warm-up, Golf Recovery, Baseball Warm-up with Cody Bellinger, Soccer Warm-Up with Kevin De Bruyne, Soccer Recovery, Baseball Recovery, Lacrosse Warm-up, Lacrosse Recovery, Softball Warm-Up, Softball Recovery, Rugby Warm-Up, Rugby Recovery, Equestrian Warm-Up, Equestrian Recovery, Soccer Warm-up, and Baseball Warm-Up), (15)For Water Sports (6 routines), (16)For Courts Sports (12 routines: Handball, Padel Tennis, Volleyball, Basketball, Tennis, Pickleball) (17)For Winder Sports (9 routines), and (18)For Combat Sports (11 routines). Some routines repeat within other categories; some have video, some have motivational speakers, and all have background music. Overall, I am satisfied with Theragun Sense. It has a tone of routines, and it is a great tool to help someone’s overall health. The unique features of the SENSE model (Biometric Sensor, Guided Breath-work, and TheraMind Sound) are my favorite and are excellent for helping relax, breath-work, and sleep.

    Everyday Physical & Mental Percussive Wellbeing

    PROS + Compact, lightweight, and relatively quiet when operating + 4 massage attachments (Standard Ball, Dampener, Thumb, Micro-point) + Stylish rose gold accents + 5 percussion per minute speed settings (from 1750 to 2400) + Built-in screen with 5 preset therapy sessions and a choose your own quickstart setting + Built-in biometric sensor for heart rate monitoring + Haptic feedback for guided breathing exercises + Therabody app includes a wide range of guided warm-up, recovery, meditation, and breathing routines + Included TheraMind music & soundscapes for meditation sessions CONS - Included travel pouch doesn’t include any dedicated space for the attachments - Biometric sensor was finicky with detecting & displaying my heart rate. It is tricky to get the grip pressure right to detect it adequately - Breathing exercises with the Theragun can feel a bit gimmicky SO-SO * Percussion Therapy works better for some parts of the body than others, and won’t be for everyone * Battery life mileage will vary depending on frequently you use it THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT The Theragun Sense is my first foray into percussion therapy, and so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I have owned and used many massage devices, but never something this compact and targeted at true percussion recovery, and I have to say I was very impressed! It is not hard to see why Theragun is such a household name in the percussion therapy space. The Sense is compact, lightweight, looks great, comes with several attachments that are easy to swap out, depending on what you are using the gun for, and offers a very fast speed at up to 2400 percussions per minute. In terms of operation, there is an on-screen display and controls that let you easily select from 5 preset therapy sessions, as well as a quick start setting that lets you set your own speed and do your own routine. It would be nice if you could customize these 5 preset routines to be those which you use most often, but I couldn’t find a way to adjust them from the standards that are loaded on. Thankfully, it isn’t a big deal given the quick start mode really lets you set and do whatever you feel like depending on what type of therapy you are interested in. Beyond this however, you will need to use the Therabody app, as the vast majority of guided routines (including the meditation routines) are all located in the app. In terms of the app, it is well laid out, and easy to get up and running. You can connect your health accounts and then get running with a pretty wide variety of percussion and mediation routines for different warm-up, recovery, and mindfulness sessions. Some of these routines, particularly the mindfulness focused ones, also include soundscapes and music called “TheraMind” which can play over your phone, or as is recommended, headphones. There are routines for different types of workouts (like swimming, strength training, cycling, yoga, etc.), although of the ones I have tried, many do end up feeling fairly similar as they often target similar muscles with similar motions. You tend to use the dampener attachment for many routines, and the other attachments can be swapped in for more specific use cases. Also with the app routines, you do get real-time feedback on ensuring the pressure you are applying is optimal, as well as ensuring the correct speed of the percussion is set correctly for the relevant exercise. Like all Theraguns, the triangle grip makes it really easy to do all the exercises by yourself, with the requisite pressure being able to easily apply at almost any angle. It is very intuitive, and with the app guides and tutorials, you can easily get up and running in no time. I used the percussion therapy routines before and after several workouts, and did absolutely notice a positive impact, particularly with the lower-body routines. This being said, I personally found the percussion much less pleasant and effective for the upper body. It is great for legs and back, and not bad for arms and neck (although a little strange feeling at times), but for chest and abs it did feel a bit uncomfortable, at least for me. Your mileage may vary, depending on your body and how deep your muscle tissue is, as well as how much you enjoy percussion therapy. This being said, overall, as a percussion massager, the Theragun sense is a great all-arounder, with lots of features and options in a compact form. It might not be the best choice for professional athletes with much more specific needs, but it was great for me and honestly I think it would work great for 95% of folks as long as you like percussion routines. For the mindfulness sessions and “sensing” part of the Theragun Sense, I was a bit less impressed. While not bad by any means, I don’t know how much I will end up using the Sense for mindfulness in the long-run. To do most of the exercises, you should hold the gun with a two-handed grip close to your chest, while your index finger covers the heart rate biometric sensor. You then follow the routines while music plays, and haptics throughout the gun provide cues for different breathing rates. For example, for box breathing, you get different vibration and sound cues to guide you through each phase, while the biometric sensor measures your heart rate. You also get on-screen cues in the app which you can use as well. The haptics themselves feel great, and overall the breathing routines are very effective still. Where I wonder how useful I will find this in the long-run comes down to the heart rate monitor, and general style of the mindfulness sessions. For the heart rate monitor, I found it difficult to get consistent readings. I found if I applied light pressure like the app recommended, it wouldn’t detect my heart rate, and if I applied more pressure, it would detect it more frequently (although not always), but the device would become less comfortable to hold for a full routine. Likewise, for things like sleep breathing or quick box breathing, I found the Theragun haptics didn’t add much to the experience beyond cuing when I should breathe. The TheraMind soundscapes I liked a lot, but I found myself paying too much attention to the app and haptics of the Theragun, rather than really letting my mind go during the mindfulness sessions. It simply feels a bit strange holding a percussion gun to your chest while doing breathing exercises designed to make you ease up physically and mentally. I don’t want to give the impression it is a bad experience, just that ultimately, your mileage may vary depending on how much you think the haptics help your experience. For myself, as someone who does a fair amount of meditation and breathing, I found needing to hold the gun while doing these didn’t add much to my experience, and ultimately felt unnecessary for a quality experience. That being said, it can be nice to have for beginners getting started with mindfulness sessions, and the TheraMind soundscapes were very good. On the whole, I like my Theragun Sense as another recovery and well-being companion to use in my arsenal. I think it still works better as a percussion device than a mindfulness aid, but it is nice to see Theragun prioritizing both physical and mental wellness with one device, and perhaps as new routines are added to the app, I will find the mindfulness sessions more useful, particularly as they combine mindfulness with percussion therapy. I wish the heart rate sensor worked better, but honestly, it didn’t matter too much to me. If you have any fitness tracker that measure heart rate, that will work much better overall for tracking your vitals during the TheraMind sessions. But if you are looking for a single device for physical and mental recovery, in a nice package, with plenty of features on hand, then the Theragun Sense is a good place to start.

    Much more than simply massages

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As someone who consistently strives to improve and maintain overall wellness of both my mind and body, I was offered the Theragun Sense to review from the perspective of a wellness seeker. The Sense is the newest Theragun that adds additional wellness features to the traditional percussive therapy device. The Sense percussive device is lighter, more ergonomic, and easier to handle than my other brand percussive massage device. The biggest problem with the other device is that the bulk and weight typically requires two people for optimal use. Size and weight aren’t an issue with the Sense. It is lightweight and ergonomic enough for me to easily use it alone on most targeted body areas. The percussive intensity of the Sense is also dialed back a little compared to my other percussive device. It doesn’t feel like a miniature jackhammer, but is still capable of getting those deep down tension knots when needed. The Sense has an on-device LCD display which allows it to either be used stand-alone or it can also be used with the Therabody app. A huge benefit of using the app is that it allows me to connect other Bluetooth enabled Therabody devices. In addition to the Sense, I connected my Theraface device to the app which provides additional head and face wellness routines. The Therabody app has tons of brief routines that maximize value to time ratio. Most are under 5 minutes in duration and are quite effective despite their brief duration. The Sense wellness tools include percussive, breathing, haptic, and sound therapy. Percussive therapy utilizes four different massage therapy attachments. The attachments, combined with the associated routines, target several wellness needs such as relieving muscle knots, promoting better circulation, improving recovery from activities, relieving tension, and providing gentle massages. Breath work routines utilize an IR sensor on the grip and haptic feedback on the device to monitor and pace both heart rate and breathing. I grab the Sense with both hands, with my index finger over the sensor, and follow the visuals in the app while haptic breathing cues and calming music help promote a state of relaxation. The breathing routines usually work reliably, but I occasionally encounter “insufficient heart rate” errors when performing the breathing routines through the app. The error means the sensor had trouble reading the pulse. It can be finicky at times. The haptic feedback not only helps coach breathing during breath exercises, but can also gently pace heart beat with the goal of lowering heart rate to a similar bpm as the haptic rhythm. The Sense uses the breathing, percussive, sounds, and haptic feedback features alone or combined for a wide range of health and recovery applications. Percussive therapy can be used alone for muscle tension and pain, or it can be combined with breathing routines to maximize recovery or lower stress and tension. Sounds, haptic feedback, and breathing can be combined for improved sleep and stress relief. I also use the breathing exercises along with meditation. Percussive therapy can aid breathing exercises to help relieve tension and help to relax. There are numerous helpful routines in the Therabody app that can be used with the Sense to aid recovery in just about any scenario. Need a routine for yoga recovery? Yep, it’s there. What about surfing and kayaking? Yep, they’re in there too, and many more. The Theragun Sense is a great accessory for active or even not so active individuals. Unlike the vast majority of percussion guns, the benefits go much deeper than simply tissue massage. It helps maintain wellness of both the body and the mind. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and the app provides great step-by-step coaching for tons of uses. The inconsistent finger sensor can get annoying, but that’s my only con with this otherwise stellar wellness device.

    More Than Just a Massager

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Theragun Sense offers a robust array of modes and instructional techniques to help ease tension and stress, among a plethora of other benefits, all through its high-quality construction and an app that is both easy to use and navigate. This is substantially more than just a vibrating hand tool, a fact made apparent by its build quality and the exceptional accompanying application. Ordinarily, I roll my eyes at having to install yet another app for a new device that seemingly wouldn’t require it. But this app is different. The initial application setup walks you through an easy, step-by-step process of inputting your preferences and areas of interest relative to your general activities, recurring pain, and other daily routines and physical characteristics. It also provides a swift method to pair your device and register it for warranty purposes. But its standout feature is the provision of a concentrated set of instructions with visual cues on the device’s embedded screen, in tandem with the application’s directions. Utilizing the app alongside the Theragun Sense works exceptionally well. Simply scroll through to find the routine you want, and it sends it directly to your paired device, with instructions on contact points, which attachment to use, and a timer for each spot in the routine, all displayed on the screen embedded in the device. Moreover, these routines are not time-consuming. It’s remarkable how easy it is to complete one for quick relief. The provided tote also makes it incredibly easy to carry this with you wherever you go. With that said, I’ll be taking this to the office with me from now on to have at my desk for lunchtime workout recovery and also for the breathwork options. This is a very well-made piece of equipment. The quality of the app genuinely makes it shine in ways that I have routinely seen other items falter, rendering them either less appealing or even less useful. I highly recommend this for anyone needing physical relief in the palm of their hands.

    Easy to Use, So many Features, App Overwhelming

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have been in dire need of a good therapy device for my aches and pains. I am not a fan of many that is out in the market so I am very picky when selecting. I decided to try this out after reading multiple reviews of their products and features that it offered. I was going into this as a first time user of their product line. I have never used any of their products before. Right out of the box it was very easy to use, nicely packaged and had great descriptors of each item. It did have an code to right in the front to get the software to download/install. I'll get back to the software in a moment, the package contains a ton of accessories along with oil to keep the device lubricated. I also liked how it had a small cover case to place it in to keep it safe. The case is not that large so its difficult to keep all the attachments within it. If only the case was just a tad larger everything would easily fit. The software is very overwhelming. I did like how there are training videos to go through on the features and usage. However trying to navigate into different sections and build a routine was overwhelming. There is too much text to read / go through. It would have been better if there were simple picture or icons to drag/select to make up the routine. On the plus side, there is a ton of information to read and go through. I love all the abilities and features the software has as long as you have time to read it all haha. At times it felt like I was reading a novel trying to learn all the abilities it does. The hardware itself is amazing, made very well and does a great job on those pain points. I also love the breathing exercise you can go through. There is a heart reader sensor on the inside however I have not been able to get it to work. I am hoping its software related and will keep an eye out for an update. The buttons are stiff to push on but does register to turn on easily. I like the small navigation screen to help when selecting the option. This is a huge plus for me so I am not having to constantly use my phone if I just want a quick session. The charge lasts extremely long. I have been using this at moderate usage for over a week now and still have battery charge. Overall this a great device and recommend this to anyone who is searching for a nice therapy device. It travels well, has a long charge and multiple features!

    More Powerful & Offers Better Ergonomics.

    |
    Tech Insider Network Member
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This Theragun Pro is more powerful and offers better ergonomics. The noise level is significantly higher. If you ultimately care for force and noise is not a concern, I suggest you make yourself a massage gun with a jigsaw - it will have all the amplitude and stall force you can handle and then some… Of course, get yourself and others around you some earplugs. But the Theragun seems to offer the perfect balance. The 3 things that drew me to it were: 1) the 60lb stall force vs the 30lb stall of my generic unit (the 16mm vs 10mm massage depth was also a consideration) 2) the Theragun's proprietary triangular shaped handle 3) the 2 swappable batteries, that allowed for longer sessions (and allow for charging one battery, while the other is in use) After using this TheraGun Prime Quiet Deep Tissue Therapy Massage several times already, here are my key points: - that triangular shaped handle (and the ability to change the angle of the arm) are THE biggest improvements, to me, ESPECIALLY for using the unit on myself. The triangular grip, and the adjustable angle of the 'arm', make it much easier to find a comfortable, secure grip to use this on myself (especially on my shoulders and back, but even on my arms, thighs, pecs, calf muscles etc.), compared to the 'T' shape of my generic unit (and every other unit on the market). - the 60lb stall force (and 16mm depth vs 10mm) allows me to get an even deeper massage, especially on my back. I use it while sitting in a chair/recliner and lean back into it, so the (padded) back of the recliner allows me to brace the unit to push harder and apply more pressure (and as expected, the generic unit with its 30lbs of force will stall out, where this Pro unit with its 60 lbs of force keeps going). ***IMPORTANT NOTE TO FOLKS WONDERING*** - the Bluetooth connectability and app that can be downloaded are interesting, and allow you to load 2 more settings on the unit, and a constant speed mode (that can manually be adjusted faster or slower), and a varying speed mode (that slowly varies back and forth from the slowest to fastest speed). You need to download the app to load/program the other 2 available mode settings, otherwise, selecting those does nothing (the modes show up on the display as 'T', 'I', 'II', and 'III'. Modes 'II' and 'III' aren't pre-programmed). Interesting to play with the app, and the various modes/sessions on the app not only have countdown timers for each bodypart/muscle group, but the app even shows you where to apply the Theragun, and gives you a recommended range of how much force/pressure to apply (and the unit itself has a sensor that indicates how hard you're pressing/how much force you're applying). Interesting and it may be of value to some. - some folks complain that the unit is loud. It's not a consideration to me. My primary concern is how well a massager works as a massager. As far as how loud, I can still have a conversation while using the massager, without having to yell, or constantly say, "WHAT?!! I didn't catch that". I wouldn't use it next to someone who's asleep, but having used various massagers over the decades, I don't really find this one exceptionally loud. There may be units that are quieter than this one, but as mentioned my priority for a massager, is how well it works as a massager. Is this Theragun Pro worth 3x to 4x the cost of cheaper options? That's going to be an individual choice. For me, the triangular handle and adjustable 'arm' angle allowing me to find a secure, comfortable grip to effectively use it on myself, coupled with the higher stall force alone, make it worth it.

    The Theragun Sense Massage Gun by Therabody is a great buy if you’re serious about recovery and wellness. It’s compact, sleek, and feels premium in hand. The percussion is powerful yet surprisingly quiet, significantly easing muscle soreness within minutes. The intuitive pressure feedback helps target sore spots effectively. Battery life easily lasts multiple sessions, and the Bluetooth connectivity and guided sessions via the app make it incredibly user-friendly. It’s pricey, but if you value recovery and efficiency, it’s worth every penny. Highly recommended for busy professionals and active individuals.

    Massage therapy guns have been around for a while, but I’ve never really understood the impact it could have on a person’s life… until now. In my opinion, the Theragun Sense is a complete massage and recovery tool that may remove the need to visit an actual massage therapist. I don’t say this often, but I do like how everything was packaged, so kudos to the packaging engineer. Out of the box you get the Theragun Sense, a soft carrying case, a USB-C charging cable, three extra different types of massage tips, and manuals. Before you even try the Theragun Sense for the first time, you will be encouraged to download the Therabody app to your smartphone. Once you download it, you can pair the Theragun to your app so you can use the timed presets routines. You can still use the Theragun without the app for a quickstart/manual experience, but the app is actually quite useful. When using it manually, you can turn up the intensity, or lower the intensity based on which body part you’re currently focusing on. There’s even a heartbeat monitor on the interior of the handle grip. The Therabody app offers many features. Initially you’re introduced to a six part tutorial that helps you gain a better understanding of the different attachment tips. There are other non massage gun related options as well such as sleeping, breathing, and heartbeat. There’s a “For you” tab where you can create routines for different activities or different parts of the day. You can also import your Apple health app, which is great because you can add existing data to help fine tune a routine. The app is set up in a great way to help you with your physical and mental relaxation. Whether you enjoy are heavy duty workout, or something as simple as going for a walk, the Theragun Sense can help you both warm up before a workout, or recover and relax. I found myself using it more for a post workout recover after a shower, and also for random uses when I’m watching tv. With the versatility of the multiple different massage tips, you can find the type that works for you based on which body part you’re relaxing. In my opinion, most of them work well, but the smallest one is the hardest in terms of density, and feels like a medieval torture device. (I kid, but it does hurt more than the others). All in all, I’m very pleased with the Theragun Sense. The build quality is great, the materials seems grade A, and everything is just simple to use.

    Easy, powerful, long battery life. Need I say more? For an active person, this has been a life saver after a long run, row, or weighlifting session.

    I’ve been using the Therabody Theragun Sense (1st Generation) and it’s been great for relieving sore muscles and everyday aches. It feels well-built and comfortable to hold, and the massage is strong enough to ease tension without being too intense. The visual routines make it simple to use and take the guesswork out of targeting different areas. I also like that it’s relatively quiet and easy to use while relaxing at home. Battery life has been solid so far. Overall, it’s an effective, user-friendly massage gun that provides noticeable relief and fits easily into my recovery routine.

    Got this on sale and can’t complain. It has just the right amount of features and nothing more. Good for getting knots and relaxing the body. I’d say this model is the perfect sweet spot of features but not overkill.

    I love that the small screen will direct you where to place the Theragun for specific needs and will stop to move on to the following body location. I also like that it is not bulky or cumbersome, and various angles can hold it in place. It's wonderful!!
