The excellent Therabody Cyber Monday sale puts the power of massage in the palm of your hand. Achey fitness fiends and office drones, take note: relief is here. Even if you already bought a massage gun back when this product trend first took over the Internet, you might be due for a re-up. Therabody has steadily improved its massage guns over the years (and introduced new recovery products), and the newest generations of Theraguns are stronger, quieter, and smarter.
The Therabody Black Friday sale officially powered on in mid-November, and it's rolling over into Cyber Week. This sale brings a bevy of deals on GQ-award-winning recovery products, like the athlete-beloved Theragun Pro and the giftable Theragun Mini. After testing countless massage guns—from budget models to premium products—we can verify firsthand that there's a noticeable difference when using Theraguns. An order of magnitude of difference. Plus, through some engineering wizardry, the company has also basically solved the massage gun noise problem. They now sound more like a vibrating phone when they're massaging your quads rather than ongoing construction.
The Best Therabody Cyber Monday Deals at a Glance:For the full Theragun experience, we'd recommend zeroing in on the Elite or Pro models. If you don't have time to compare specs, here's a just-the-hits version of the Therabody Cyber Week sale:
The Best Theragun for Hardcore Athletes: Theragun Pro Massage Gun, $599 $499The Best Theragun for the Rest of Us: Theragun Elite, $399 $289The Best Therabody Device for Runners: Therabody RecoveryAir PRO, $1,299 $999The Most Giftable Theragun: Theragun Mini, $199 $149The Therabody Foam Roller: Theragun Wave Roller, $149 $99Have Leftover FSA/HSA Funds? Use Them on Therabody ProductsIf your healthcare bennies include an HSA or FSA card, then you might have some use-it-or-lose-it funds left over at the end of the year. Instead of flushing these dollars into the financial toilet that is the American healthcare system, put those funds to work. Many Therabody products are FSA/HSA eligible. Therabody will even help you work out the reimbursement paperwork if you want to pay using your regular ol' credit card.
If you don't know what a Theragun does exactly, here's a little primer. Each device uses percussive therapy to release tension in your muscles. A motor powers a massage head that pistons up and down thousands of times per minute, pressing deep into your muscles. So, they're basically like mini jackhammers, helping to break up tight knots and lactic acid in your muscles after a grueling workout or a long day at your desk job. Theragun's massage guns (also known as percussive therapy devices) became a huge hit with athletes when they launched a couple years ago. You could easily spot one on the sidelines at an NBA game.
As time has gone by and new models have launched (from minis to inflating compression boots), the brand's prices have come down a bit, even more so if you're shopping during a major sale event like this. When we first asked “Is the Theragun Worth It?" back in 2018, these things were going for $600. Now, those prices are scaled way back, and with the current Cyber Monday deals on massage guns, we can't find a reason not to buy one.
Here's a short list of everything worth shopping today.

Therabody Cyber Monday Deals
Therabody
Theragun PRO Massager$599 $349Therabody
$599 $349Amazon
Therabody calls this the "world's best massage device," and if it was any other brand, we'd accuse them of hyperbole. GQ editors have tested and loved this massage gun, which is powerful enough for even hardcore athletes. This massager penetrates deeper into muscles than other massage guns. Your fingers could never.
Therabody
Theragun Elite Massager$399 $289Theragun
$399 $250Amazon
$399 $289Target
The Theragun Elite lacks some of the power of the Pro model, but we actually think it's the best massage gun for most people. Unless you're the kind of person who describes their exercise as "training," you likely won't need (or enjoy) the Pro's walloping higher speeds.
Therabody
Theragun Mini Massager$199 $149Amazon
$199 $149Theragun
The Mini is the lightest and most portable Theragun. It's not quite small enough to fit into your pocket, but it will barely take up space in your gym bag, and it's definitely the one to pack for travel. Despite the small size, it's still more powerful than the average massage gun, with three intensity settings and a 120-minute battery life.
Therabody
Wave Roller$149 $99Therabody
$149 $99Amazon
$149 $99Dick's Sporting Goods
The Wave Roller takes your standard foam roller's wide surface for stretching out achey muscles and dials it up with vibration (five different frequencies to choose from exactly).
Therabody
PowerDot 2.0 Uno$199 $149Therabody
The first time we heard about transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), it called to mind cheesy infomercials from late-night TV. But TENS really works. The PowerDot uses electrical stimulation to soothe overworked and cramping muscles, and you can control the intensity of the device wirelessly with your phone.
Therabody
RecoveryAir PRO$1,299 $999Therabody
This is Therabody's most advanced leg compression therapy device. If you're the kind of person who runs marathons, plural, or uses vacation days to do triathlons, then the RecoveryAir's preset programs will help you bounce back from your training days like a, well, pro.
Therabody
RecoveryTherm Hot Vibration Back and Core$249 $199Therabody
What if your heated back wrap could also deliver a powerful massage? That's the idea behind RecoveryTherm.
Therabody
Theragun Prime$299 $189Therabody
$299 $189Amazon
Amazon is full of cheap massage guns. We've compared many of these directly with Theragun products, and the difference in power is extreme. If you want a true Theragun experience but can't justify a $500 recovery product, the brand's go-to budget model still packs plenty of power for a relaxing deep-tissue massage at home. The ergonomic grip and design makes it easy to work out sore muscles in your legs or shoulders.
Therabody
TheraFace PRO$399 $319Therabody
$399 $319Amazon
The award-winning face massage tool from Therabody also delivers LED light therapy and electromagnetic currents via its interchangeable heads, which help to soothe and rejuvenate skin.
Therabody
Wave Solo$79 $59Therabody
$79 $59Amazon
For more targeted relief, roll the Wave Solo onto sore muscles and pressure points. Just don't let your dog mistake it for a toy.More Cyber Monday Sales + Guides from GQGQ's Guide to All the Best Cyber Monday Deals + SalesCLOTHING: The Best Cyber Monday Clothing Deals | The Best of the J.Crew Cyber Monday Sale | The Best of the SSENSE Cyber Monday Sale | The Best Nike Cyber Monday Deals | The Best Todd Snyder Cyber Monday Deals | The Best Cyber Monday Shoe Deals | The Best Madewell Cyber Monday Deals | The Best Nike Cyber Monday Deals | The Best Patagonia Cyber Monday Deals | The Best REI Cyber Monday Deals | The Best Abercrombie & Fitch Cyber Monday DealsTECH: The Best Cyber Monday Tech Deals | The Best Apple Cyber Monday Deals | The Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch SaleGROOMING: The Best Aesop Cyber Monday Deals | The Best Cyber Monday Deals on Crest White StripsHOME: The Best Cyber Monday Mattress Deals | The Best Cyber Monday Luggage Deals | The Best Cyber Monday Furniture DealsFITNESS: The Best Cyber Monday Fitness Deals | The Best Lululemon Cyber Monday DealsBIG BOX STORES: The Best Walmart Cyber Monday Deals | The Best Nordstrom Cyber Monday Deals | The Best Amazon Cyber Monday DealsMore Great Fitness Recommendations from GQThe Best Treadmills Will Have You Looking Forward to Indoor Miles
