  • Powerful percussive performance
  • Ergonomic triangular design
  • Long-lasting battery life
  • Sleek, travel-friendly mini
  • Noticeably loud operation
  • Occasionally weak battery longevity
  • Heavy, bulky devices
  • Overly intense lowest setting

Therabody earns strong reviews for delivering powerful, ergonomic recovery tools—Theragun and TheraFace notably ease soreness, speed post-workout recovery, and relieve jaw tension—yet the brand draws criticism for loud operation, overly intense lowest settings, bulky/heavy designs, and inconsistent battery longevity. Reviews also flag doubts about certain LED benefits and app utility, plus occasional durability issues and poor support, making Therabody highly effective but not universally comfortable or fuss-free.

  • I have had the Theragun massager for a few years now and whilst i think it's a great device, i rarely use it. I mainly have issue with my shoulder and i find it very heavy and difficult to use on that spot on my back. But i am still giving it 3 stars because for the right person it can be a great option.

  • I have had Theraface for 2-3 years now and still use it frequently! I love to use it for face massage and after lymphatic drainage. I am not quite sure if LED light is effective, I have tried blue light on breakouts a few times and did not notice any difference in "healing"

  • I received a Theragun Prime Plus as a gift from my Father for Christmas a couple years ago. I’ve used it a total of 8-12 times. It no longer charges or turns on, not even when plugged in. I understand that it is out of warranty. However, I feel they offered NO solutions or assistance for a nearly $500 Theragun. Just, “it is what it is…Sorry that the battery doesn’t work anymore, we’d love to help you purchase a new one for your health needs”. I inquired about sending it in and paying to have it serviced; purchasing a replacement battery; sending it in for root cause analysis; if there was a an incentive to purchase another one or trade the broken one in? I was told “no” at every turn. I hate to throw it away. It is pristine and could pass for a brand new one. I also think I’ll have to pay to recycle the battery since you’re not supposed to dispose of lithium in the trash. I’m pretty disappointed that a $430+tax & shipping Theragun doesn’t last longer than a couple of years. It hasn’t been on the sidelines of an NFL team. We are talking five or six times a year and it failed. Typically when you pay a premium price you get premium quality and premium service in return. I’d suggest going down to your local Ross, TJ Maxx or Marshall’s and picking one up for $20-$40. It will last about the same amount of time or longer at fraction of the cost. Don’t get caught up in the marketing scheme! Just my experience and my two cents.

  • I like the idea of these smart goggles but they are reallly big. Definitely feels bulky to wear and bring around in person but would be suitable at night and the weighted element feels nice. FYI they also are very loud. I don’t know if I’d wear them on airplanes (as pictured in ads) and wasn’t expecting them to be so loud. Cute packaging though and could make a nice gift!

  • My first product from this brand was a Theragun Mini, which I do love but I don't use as often as I thought. The real star that I am absolutely obsessed with is their LED mask, a product I thank for my skin being so calm cool and collected due to my daily use. I opted for this mask because I liked the red, infrared and blue light functions but the ability to isolate and just use one if needed, and my partner was intrigued by the massage feature. Its definitely a bit heavy I assume compared to other masks and not portable but that brings me to my next product that I love from them, which is the handheld Theraface Pro tool with the hot + cold rings. This is my lifesaver on vacation, my go to when I'm congested, have a headache, wake up feeling puffy, or am in the mood for an at home facial. I cant recommend the hot and cold attachments enough if you get this tool. The LED feature is handy so I can zap a breakout with blue light on vacation or take a few minutes to myself. I don't have TMJ but ive heard people absolutely love it for that. I was also really surprised to love the cleansing brush, I don't use it daily but if I ever feel like I want a squeaky clean cleanse it feels so nice.

  • THIS LADY IS OBSESSED! I got my theragun I think three years ago at this point and I love having it. Being in my 30s means things hurt and my muscles get tight! I was going to physical therapy for plantar fasciitis and instead of buying a calf stretcher, I've just incorporated my theragun into my routine more often. I don't swap out the heads, which I'm sure they wouldn't recommend, but I think it's fine. One thing I wasn't expecting was that I noticed I would always get itchy after using it but after some googling, I learned it's normal because you're opening up your capillaries. Great use on a charge. I have the prime but got my mom the pro plus because she's in her 60s and wanted to help minimize mobility issues in tough to reach places with the adjustable neck on the pro plus.

  • I've had the Theraface for a few years, and have used it off and on. I always find myself coming back to it. I like the scrubbing head when my skin feels like it needs some physical exfoliation, and the massage heads when I've been clenching my jaw. If you get this, definitely get the ice and hot attachment. Those are amazing if you're feeling swollen or if you're a jaw clencher! My biggest disappointment is the LED attachment. Realistically, you need a full face mask for it to work effectively. But, it's a nice little bonus when you're using the massage heads.

  • The Therabody Sleep Mask is a genuinely effective tool for improving your sleep quality. It does a great job of achieving a total blackout, thanks to the comfortable, contoured eye cups. The vibration therapy feature is surprisingly relaxing and a nice touch for unwinding before bed. It's an easy-to-use, high-quality mask that's a worthwhile investment if you're serious about your nighttime wellness routine.

  • I spent a long time resisting the massage gun era, but caved and purchased the Theragun Mini. I ADORE this little gadget, I keep it on my nightstand and use it far more than I thought I would. It’s a great size for travel too, and I appreciate all the “routines” they have on the Therabody App to help you get the most out of it. I would buy more Therabody products in the future, for sure!

  • I purchased my Theragun Pro Gun during the Black Friday Sale. Highly recommend! It has a lot of benefits with the type of job I have I am using a lot of my muscles and this has really helped me release a lot of tension and ease my muscles. I have slept so much better with using this. The customer service is very helpful. They answer your questions and get back to you quickly which is super nice and much appreciated! I also have their power dot machine Duo, that has been super helpful in recovery, building my quad muscles and there is a helpful app for locations to apply the pads. From a medical standpoint it is very helpful and from a consumer standpoint. It is worth your investment. I wanna badly try their TheraBeauty Pro Face Wand with different abilities to clean, microcurrent, and different recovery lights of red and blue light features. :) 🧖🏻‍♀️ ✨

  • Bought the mini because it was the highest-quality and lowest price point at $200 that I wanted to pay—and I felt like it covered all my needs, which were just weekly use post-workouts, travel-friendly, and easy to store. I've seen the larger versions being used on the sideline of NFL games that totally validated my purchase for this size, ha! It has exceeded expectations and I typically leave it out in my living room for use whenever. The size is perfect for my husband and me who aren't extreme athletes or have any pre-existing conditions—honestly, it's also good to use when you don't sleep right or after a long day of sitting in an office chair. The three settings are nice and they offer different levels of pressure and speed. The charge does hold well and the carrying case is nice, BUT the charging cord doesn't fit in the case... and I lost it! I wish that was a little more intentional when designing the product, but overall I'm happy with it.

  • Therabody makes really great products. There are many different versions and models of massage devices available on the market. I have personally used a few of them. As a personal trainer, these products are wonder after a workout. Great for muscle and deep tissue massage, Therabody devices are above all other products on the market. I would highly recommend getting one. The Therabody mini travels with me everywhere I go. Depending on the model, people have said that they are on the higher scale of price. I agree but just realize that you will get a lot of use out of them. You will get what you paid for. So remember to get the Therabody model that fits your needs. Get your Therabody today because your body will Thank you tomorrow!!

  • Great product - I use to relax my muscles immediately after a workout. I wasn't sure which theragun is the best option but I recommend trying the prime if you're looking to buy.

    It is a bit pricey and as mentioned in my experience, I recommend trying the prime.

  • I have both the Therabody Mini and the TheraFace, and they've become staples in my routine. The Mini is incredibly powerful for its size and perfect for targeting tight spots after workouts or long days at a desk. It’s compact enough to travel with, which makes it even more of a win. The TheraFace has really impressed me, especially the percussion and the microcurrent contouring functions. I use both regularly and feel like they make a noticeable difference in muscle tone and facial tension. I haven’t used the cleansing brush or the hot/cold heads much, they just don’t fit into my routine, but the core features I do use are excellent and feel high quality. Overall, the build, design, and effectiveness of the products make them feel worth the investment. They deliver great results from home, and I’m genuinely glad I added them to my self-care toolkit.

  • I absolutely love my mini Theragun. Easy to hold and use - even on my shoulders and back. I have traveled with it on work trips when I knew I would be on my feet for extended periods. Also, fun fact: one time it started vibrating in my suitcase and I had to tell people that it was not what they thought it was...

  • Love the products I have tried- I have tried the Elite, the Prime, and the Mini guns. They are excellent at massage- great for use after workouts, skiing, warming up etc. Also helpful with injury prevention depending on your needs. My favorite device is actually the Mini- because I find that the Elite and Prime have settings that are too high at the base for me. Also the mini one is so dang cute, and portable. Love being able to keep it in my bag to bring on ski weekends and for anytime the soreness hits! They also have a great app and videos about the best way to use based on you soreness or other struggles. I haven't tried their new roller products but they have done some really good innovation in those- which I love! Amazing gift- group gift or special gift! Everyone in my family has gifted on to each other!

    Honestly, sometimes the product is like "too good"- too hard in their massage and hurts me- I wish it had some slightly lower settings. (The mini starts at a lower setting which I like) They can also hurt your hand/tire it our after using it for a while. Their site has a lot going on and it was hard for me to determine the real difference between the products and what I would need/should gift. I also wish their messaging was more inclusive... I feel like I see a lot of super strong, olympian types in their marketing. People with bodies of all shapes and sizes or all different fitness backgrounds like massages too and perhaps this product could have unique uses for people at different stages in their fitness journey.

  • I received the Theragun Mini as a gift, and I must admit, I initially thought it might be just another gimmick. Well, I was quite wrong! This little gadget has become my new best friend. After a long day, the Theragun Mini is like having a masseuse on standby. It tackles stubborn knots and helps me recover faster after a strenuous workout. I’ve used it on just about every muscle, and it’s been a game-changer for recovery. Compact and portable, it goes wherever I go. Plus, it's quiet enough that I can use it while watching TV without drowning out the dialogue. It's turned me from a skeptic into a devotee.

  • The theragun is amazing!!! I’ve tried a lot of other brands that don’t last long or are able to do nearly as much as this gun! Highly recommended spending the money & getting something that is quality !

  • I adore my Theragun Mini and use it several times a week. I've taken it on a few trips when I knew I'd be sore from not-great sleeping situations or a long flight abroad. It's honestly so powerful I'm not sure I would ever need a regular one. The only downside is it can be a bit hard to get a strong grip on the mini because of its shape, but that's also what allows it to be so compact. Ultimately it's more than worth it. I only have to charge it ever few weeks and don't even bother to bring the charger when I travel as long as I prep ahead.

  • Finally caved and got the Theragun Prime. So far, I love it. It's quite powerful and it has a long battery life. I like how easy it is to use on yourself!
