Massage guns are high-powered pummeling devices designed to activate muscles pre-exercise and fasttrack recovery post-workout. The very best massage guns command a steep fee, and with the jury still out on their scientifically-proven benefit, I’m somewhat skeptical of their merits.
That said, they are certainly fun to use and you didn’t hear me complaining when I became the go-to massage gun reviewer for Coach. Massage guns are also a category you can expect to be discounted and Amazon Prime Day is no exception.
There are four deals worth considering in 2023’s Prime Day, and while I’d usually recommend the more affordable Theragun Mini, the 42% discount on the top-of-the-range Theragun is too good to resist.
Theragun PRO: was $599 now $349 on Amazon

Renpho R3 Mini Massage Gun: was $89.99 now $59.98 on Amazon
Save $30.01 At the other end of the price spectrum, Renpho has slashed 33% off for more tidy savings. In my experience, the R3 will help alleviate daily aches and pains, but it lacks the oomph needed for more strenuous sports.
