I love the follow up review, getting back to the original review and the honest feedback

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Thanks Michiel!

[@FergusNelson]

I appreciate the honest independent view. Thanks.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Fergus N...thank you!

[@fkporsche1]

Like your review style. I got myself a few Theraguns 😊

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Right on. Thanks for watching. I did that video a couple years ago and my Theragun is still working great!

[@MS-zb5fr]

I like the video. Very interesting. And open and "real". Thank you.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Thank you and I appreciate you watching!

[@calgary2800]

Got this one week ago. It Really is powerful and does the job. No question. Just the battery life is atrocious. 15 mins use will knock it from full to around 60 percent battery. Noise is ok. I use earplugs. No big deal there. As long as it gets deep to muscles i am happy.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

cbr9927, I know the new ones are getting quieter and quieter.

[@nabali]

lot of thanks - After watching a video, I want to buy a Mini

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Glad I could help!

[@kyokonkyochin3648]

Just because you don’t use it as much doesn’t mean the performance shouldn’t be a 10. I have tried 6 other brands and Therabody has the best massage gun in the market.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

KyokonKyochin, I haven't tried as many other brands as you have, so who knows, maybe my score for it will change if I do? But I'm sticking with my number for now.

[@yharnamiyhill787]

Bought the pro 4th generation for $250 off Black Friday (35% off) I look forward to it. I have 2 very bad knots on my shoulders. Massage therapists can't get rid of it.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Wow, that's a great deal Yharnam. Good luck with those knots!

[@yharnamiyhill787]

@@FitnessFinance4u thank you! Got it for $350 (managed to buy 2 year protection plan) Looking forward to it!!

[@RiceballRox]

I just bought the elite before I left for a road trip and came home so excited to use it… and guess what, it’s defect! Wouldn’t charge at all! So I reported it to the customer service and received a new one today, and for the love of god, it still doesn’t work!! The same thing happned!! I can’t trust the build of this product at all at this point. Contacting them for a return.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

ZhenZhen, that is highly disappointing! Wow, maybe their build quality is not what it used to be?

[@RiceballRox]

@@FitnessFinance4u I did some googling, a lot of ppl are having the same issue with their elite… not sure if it’s just the elite that has this issue..

[@jeffsstuff]

Battery died after the warranty expired. They will not fix it and the battery cannot be changed by the user. I stopped in one of their retail locations the other day and asked about this. I was told there is no repair service and basically I was S.O.L. The guy further went on to explain that he had personally complained to the company and was told they didn't care. He also said that their customer service was worthless (hey, at least he's honest). Definitely I would NOT recommend their products!

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Wow jeffsstuff...that sounds awful. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@justinitsthatguyme010]

The theragun mini I would want all the attachments so then it gets within close range of buying the full on elite which has them included

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Justin..if you have the extra cash, it might just be worth getting the elite.

[@grindfreelife2325]

The price is fine, especially if one uses it regularly--the more you use it, the cheaper it costs per use. And that number isn't just yearly, it's for the life of the equipment. So that made no financial sense to me. I have a Pro (60lb pressure) and use it when I need to. It comes with a two-year warranty which is incredible. However, I could live with the 40lb Elite. But for me, the 30lb prime and 20lb mini are totally out of the question. They would just stall.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

GrindFreeLife...I guess it depends on the person. If you use it all the time, you'll be happier with the high end model.

[@firstmithrandir]

GrindFreeLife : Do you recommend Pro version or Elite will be fine. I do gym 3 times a week plus running 4-5 a week. I am looking for some good warm up and recovery device. Foam rolling works, but not as deep as I wanted it. I am hesitating between Elite and Pro version. Elite pros: quieter, cheaper, less force can be a plus some mention. Pro pros: second battery, maybe higher force would be positive, cons: much louder, more expensive.

[@MS-zb5fr]

​@@firstmithrandirwhat did you buy andcwhats your experience?

[@pjc9802]

I was able to snag the elite for 217$. Had a giftcard and it was 100$ off that day! Definitely a steal in my opinion

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Nice work!

[@alexandrossalonica]

Hi! Do you think that after 3-4 years we could replace their batteries? Because I think that after that time the battery will have lost 25% of its capacity

[@FitnessFinance4u]

alexandrossalonica...I'm not sure, but a good question. You might want to check out the FAQ's or support section on their website. I don't know how long they last.

[@maganera94]

I love your humour 😂

[@FitnessFinance4u]

TY...I try to entertain!

[@christophermroz2128]

Quick question did you buy the ProCare protection plan with yours? Do you think it would be worth it?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Christopher, I did not buy the ProCare protection plan with mine. I have to admit that I don't even know what that is. Is it kind of like what AppleCare is for Apple Products?

[@christophermroz2128]

Yep, it allows you to replace it once in the first year and then 35% off any repairs needed for around 75 right now

[@paulmorehouse9455]

I bought a midrange gun and it broke under pressure - the THERAGUN SEEMS WAY MORE STURDY :)

[@FitnessFinance4u]

I agree Paul. Theraguns are well built.

[@nelo1285]

$79.99 at Burlington

[@FitnessFinance4u]

wow...good info!

[@nsavernon]

Of course, you never use it if you keep it buried in the case deep in your cabinet….

[@FitnessFinance4u]

🤣 true Nick!

[@d.menace9256]

This guy says to educate yourself right, does he not understand that this gun cost pennies on the dollar to manufacture and that they are way overcharging for this thing at tops it should be retailing for about $129.99 and even that is a little bit pricey because they have other ones that are similar and do the same damn thing and they're like 50 to $60 , I have sat there and figured this stuff out because I almost got sucked into the marketing of buying expensive gun like that and I'm like I found the same ones that are 400 dollars the same exact one that's going between 50 and $60 it just doesn't have the branding or the logo on there

[@calgary2800]

I bought one of those cheaper massage guns off Amazon with more than a thousand reviews. It stopped working in less than 6 months. I emailed the manufacturer directly. No response. So I went for Theragun, 5 to 7 mins is enough to get rid of the soreness and you def feel the effects the next day. With the cheaper stuff I did not, it just rumbled. I bought the Elite last week and love it.
