Stall force is the amount of pressure you can apply to the head of the massage gun before the motor stalls, or how powerful a massage gun is. A higher maximum no-stall force means you can apply more pressure before the motor shuts off. 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. Included with the Pro is a separate, smaller travel bag for attachments. This is a good add-on in theory, but it feels unnecessary — you can house the Elite’s attachments in a mesh pouch on the lid, and that seems sufficient. Besides, it’s hard to imagine a situation where you’d be traveling with the Pro and not its case, and need the smaller bag to hold the attachments. To turn off the Theragun mini, firmly press and hold the power/speed button until the device shuts off.

It also has a reactive force meter built-in. It has a far superior battery that can last up to 8 hours compared to Elite’s 2 hours. 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. The app tells you what to do and how to do it. It even recommends what grip is best for the part you are massaging. You’ll notice that your device behaves differently with each part of the body you massage. For instance, you’ll notice the intensity increasing or decreasing as you hit different muscle groups. Percussive therapy gets smarter with Bluetooth® connectivity and a personalized app experience. A remarkably quiet, proprietary motor that delivers the signature Theragun power, amplitude, and effectiveness. One thing you can do with the Elite within the app that isn’t available with the Theragun Prime, is being able to save up to 3 of your favorite routines.Recently, however, many more brands have started equipping their devices with 16mm amplitudes. 16mm means the Elite can give a great punch if accompanied by enough stall force. From our perspective, it’s arguably the best Theragun after the latest Pro, assuming cost isn’t a decisive factor. Our only concern, however, is we feel that Theragun would’ve done well adding a bit of variety. Having seen so many different devices, some of these attachments feel pretty much the same. Simple but effective push and pull attachments system. For endurance athletes, powerlifters, or anyone else working their muscles to fatigue several times a week, the Theragun PRO 5th Generation offers the most power of any Theragun massage gun on the market. In fact, our testers noted that at times, the pressure was too intense (especially for those with petite frames). However, with six attachments, 150 minutes of battery life, and 60 pounds of stall force, there’s no doubt that this is meant for serious athletes. It has a stall force of 56lbs. which is almost a third stronger than the Elite. The stall force is progressive but there’s 50% more power available on lower speeds.

Why We Like It: The biometric sensor works with pre-loaded sleep routines to help your brain and body wind down at night. 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. 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. The Elite comes with 5 attachments so definitely an improvement from the entry-level Prime. Theragun Elite comes with 5 attachments. We don’t say this with many other devices, but Theragun have a dedicated app that works with your device ( iOS or Android). They call it the Therabody app, and it’s the best thing yet.Treat hard-to-reach places - ergonomic multi-grip design with patented Theragun Triangle handle allows you to reach over 80% of your body without strain on the wrist, hands or arms However, based on our extensive experience testing massage guns, we’ve come across better alternatives thatcost even less. We suggest you consider the features that are most important to you in a massage gun. This is how you should use a massager, preferably 2-6 hours after exercise, not with a fresh sheet of sweat dripping off your forehead.

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. Theragun offers a wide range of additional attachment accessories. Noteworthies we personally tested are the Supersoft attachment with its foam tip refill and the Duo Adapter, allowing you to mount two attachment heads to your Theragun simultaneously. 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. Aside from the ability to print dollar bills and cure the common cold, the Theragun Pro Plus has pretty much every feature you could possibly think of for recovery — and then some.

Customer reviews

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. This warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse or abuse, accident, liquids, including but not limited to, water or lotions, the attachment of any unauthorized accessories, alteration to the product, improper use, unauthorized repairs or modifications, improper use of electrical power supply, loss of power, variation in line voltage, dropped product, malfunction or damage of an operating part from failure to provide manufacturer's recommended maintenance, transportation damage, theft, neglect, vandalism or environmental conditions, loss of use during the period the product is at the Theragun repair facility or otherwise awaiting parts or repair or any other conditions whatsoever that are beyond the control of Therabody. But besides those aspects, there’s really no discernible difference between the Elite and Pro from a design standpoint. Either one can be connected to the Therabody app (where you can work through suggested programming and select specific speeds), both of their screens display applied force in real time, and either gun allows you to toggle through up to three pre-set treatments. 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. But for the Elite, Theragun chose two pouches sewn into the sides of the case that hold the attachments, the dedicated charger, and we also found an Apple-style envelope.

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. Powerful massage - 60% deeper massage than average massagers for longer-lasting relief without the device stalling or quitting Fortunately sometimes wishes can be granted. From our tests, we found that the Elite’s stall force lands around 40lbs, a satisfying force for a handheld massager. This, if not for anything else, is a tolerable improvement from what the Prime gave us. It’s a meagre 10lbs. more but we’ll take it.

The first thing you notice with the app are the many different routines that are available to you. If you have never used a massage gun, here’s a chance to become a pro without much hassle. In our hands, it weighed just about the same as the Theragun Elite. However, we missed the luxury of a pressure sensor or Bluetooth connectivity during our usage. When we tested the stall force, which is advertised as about 50lbs, our firsthand experience suggested that it felt more like a mid 40s massage gun. As athletes ourselves, we found this to be more than satisfactory for a deeper massage. The ball feels soft as well. The only one that seems a bit hard is the cone but that’s expected given its use on pinpoint areas. If you’re looking for something to relax your muscles or something to warm up the muscles before a workout, then here’s your best bet. We can also recommend the Elite for advanced users because this device is capable of a deep intensive massage.It may not have the power to reach deep into dense well developed muscles, but it’s the better option compared to Theragun Prime. It’s the mid-range massage gun if you love Theragun. It’s the safest bet.
