To mention just a few devices that are quieter but also come with great features: Ekrin B37S, Achedaway Pro or the new Hypervolt 2 Pro. Percussive therapy with an elevated design. A more advanced way to care for your body with a patented Theragun Triangle, industrial-grade Japanese motor, closed-cell foam attachments, and additional device options—G3 and liv.

Even so, 14.5 can go as deep into the muscle and give you a percussive massage – which is why you need a massage gun anyway. One thing we were particularly impressed with during our testing of the Elite was the stroke length. It is, and has for a long time been a key selling point for Theragun. With 40lbs. you can still have a deep enough massage if you want to (especially with the impressive 16mm amplitude). The massage gun will probably still stall easily, especially if you are working on large muscle groups like the glutes, but you’ll still have fun massaging other areas. You can also easily customize the intensity within the app. There’s a slider that you can slide either to the left or to the right to reduce or increase the intensity respectively. Our significant investments in engineering, technology, product, and software development are the reason we are the only company with four generations of products in the industry.It’s a really cool feature to have, but in our opinion it’s perhaps only useful if you were using the gun on another person. Otherwise we don’t believe it’s a must-have feature if you just need the device for yourself. The ergonomics are perfect just as we’re used to experience with all Theraguns. The multiple grip options are a thing of excellence. That means you can use the device without feeling the strain on your wrists. But maybe it’s worth it if you absolutely have to get a Theragun device. In this case the Elite is more expensive than the Prime but has a better stall force. The extra 10lbs. will give you a better deep percussive massage. However, we still hold that there are better alternatives that will cost even less. We used the laser tachometer to measure the actual percussions per minute. The speed calibration proved to be as follows:

We still feel for its price, the Elite should accommodate at least 50lbs. of power, but 40lbs. does some good justice to the impressive stroke length. It comes with 6 attachments. This is nothing special but you do get better options like the fork and the flat head. You’ll only get a 1-year warranty in case something goes wrong with the device. This is disappointing because we know of brands that will offer you a lifetime or at least a 2-year warranty. We talked of the Prime being a good gift, this one is a step higher in quality. It has a blue ring on its arm which identifies it as the Elite model.Big means heavy, right? Surprisingly, Elite weighed the same as the smaller Prime on our scale – 2.2lbs. This is standard weight for most massage guns in its category. Not too heavy, and just enough to feel like a serious device. The Elite is noticeably quieter than the Prime which we looked at before, and the sound it makes is much “smoother”. So this is a good news. It can get more intensive than the Elite. It hits a maximum of 3200 percussions per minute. The higher percussion range is needed because of the small amplitude. It has 5 speed gears. The Elite comes with 5 attachments so definitely an improvement from the entry-level Prime. Theragun Elite comes with 5 attachments. This warranty provides you with specific legal rights. You may have additional rights, which may vary from state to state. Because of individual state regulations, some of the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.

Why We Like It: You can toggle between up to three preset recovery routines saved from the Therabody app to your device.Theragun Elite comes in a high quality textured case that looks sleek and feels really nice. Maybe we just might have something with this one. But let’s see what’s in the case first. A few caveats: While the Theragun Prime includes four attachments, other models include more — so do your research and decide which attachments are important to you before buying. Also, while our testers found the design and weight of the Theragun Prime to be ergonomic, the Theragun PRO features a rotating arm for even more control over your massage. Float the device across areas in need of treatment, gradually applying light to moderate pressure as needed. As we conclude our firsthand review of the Theragun Elite, we can say from our personal use that the Elite is a powerful device. Based on our experience, we’d classify it as more midrange than a beginner Theragun device.
