Theragun, which makes some of the most popular massage guns, has deeply discounted all three of its models for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The company uses percussive therapy to treat muscle soreness and has become a hit with pro athletes. The top-of-the-line G3PRO, normally $599, is currently on sale for $399. The G3 model has dropped from $399 to $299 and the entry-level Liv model is now $199 (regularly $249). The sale runs through Dec. 2.
(Theragun offers PayPal and Amazon Pay at checkout, so you don’t need to input a credit card if you already have accounts at either.)
Theraguns use percussive therapy to massage sore muscles and knots. Think of it as a deep tissue massage, without the spa or the masseuse. The high-powered thumping movements and vibrations Theraguns provide supposedly reach deeper into your muscles than foam rolling or a professional hands-on massage.

The top-of-the-line Theragun G3Pro uses up to 60 pounds of force to break up tight muscles and improve your range of motion. The massage gun has four arm positions, allowing you to reach tight spots, like your lower back or glutes. It also comes with two swappable batteries so you’ll always be able to use the G3Pro when you need it.

The G3 provides the same power as the G3Pro, but with fewer features for less money. You’ll still get a powerful motor that puts out percussive vibrations that can ease tight muscles. It’s a great device for the person in your life who loves to exercise and could use an upgrade from a foam roller.

The least expensive Theragun, the Liv has only one power setting and uses up to 30 pounds of force to relieve sore muscles. It has the same ergonomic design as the more expensive models and would be a great gift for anyone with chronic muscle tension.
