Theragun Prime Plus
Recovery & massage
The smartest buy in Therabody's lineup — deep 16mm percussion plus fast heat, in a grip you can actually hold for a full session. The price is the catch.

Who it's for
Buy it if…
You're a coach or serious trainee who wants pro-grade percussion + heat in one tool.
Skip it if…
You only need occasional light massage — a budget gun will do.
The Prime Plus is the value sweet spot of Therabody’s range: a 16mm amplitude, 40-pound stall-force motor that actually reaches deep tissue, plus integrated heat that warms muscle fast — in a sub-2-pound body with a triangular grip you can hold for a full session. Reviewers consistently call it the smartest buy in the lineup.
For a coach treating clients or a serious trainee managing their own recovery, the heat + power combo is the differentiator versus cheaper percussion guns. The only real knock is price: capable budget guns exist, but they don’t bring the heat, the build, or the ergonomics.
