Anybody own one, or have experience with one?

I saw one at my running shop the other day, and now I keep getting ads for them. Are they worth it if I decide to get myself one as a bday present?

I don't know how much they are but drill a golf ball and attach it to something you can attach to your jig saw.

That's old school and these companies have found a way to make $ off of a really simple concept.

everytime I see a video of one of those things I can't help but think of the ol Shake Weight.

I've seen weightlifters use large random orbit buffers with wool pads like you'd use to buff your car.

My chiro has used one on me and felt like it was beneficial. Plus they have these fun videos to watch

Love my TheraGun... expensive but worth it. Paid for itself not having to get massages as often.

A friend let me try the Hyperice hypervolt gun about a week ago and really liked it. Im now looking on amazon at the knockoff versions as they are lower priced. The reviews appear to be made up though. Anyone have experience with any of the lower cost versions?

I bought an ABox and really like it. Do wish it didn't stall so easily though.

Every bang energy girl is hyping this thing. Makes me doubt it is effective.

I recently picked up the G3 Theragun. Yes, it's expensive, but with the 30 day return window, I figured it was worth a shot. For the past few years, I've had issues in my glutes, mainly my left glute (strain/pull from deadlifts) that never seems to go away. I'm tried PT, chiro, massages, nothing really seemed to fix it. Hot yoga has helped some (along with other issues with tight muscles), but the off and on pain and discomfort is still there.

2 days of the Theragun, several times a day, and man oh man, it seriously works! I can squat again without being in discomfort or even pain. And yoga poses that really stress my glutes are becoming easier. The gun was extremely painful at first, once I found the real problem areas lol. It's like getting a really good, therapeutic massage multiple times a day. Bottom line, it works. It's been several weeks now, and I will definitely be keeping it. I use it in the mornings, before I work out, after I work out, or any other time something feels tight or off.

I got the HyperIce HyperVolt for Christmas. I really like it. The different attachments are great.

Ordered the KRAFT gun right after Thanksgiving, as did apparently everyone else. After 2 months of promises and delays I had PayPal refund my money.

Bought the Hypervolt at Best Buy and have been very happy with it. My massage therapist and chiropractor each work it in with our sessions, so I've had them show me some ways to hit the spot areas where I tend to get tightest. So far it's been a very helpful supplement to stretching and foam rolling.

I ended up buying the hypervolt and so far im very happy with it. I use it everyday in conjunction with stretching and foam rolling. So far its great.

Do y'all just like wasting money? You can buy a $25 kit for your jigsaw. We used to use gold balls.

...that sounds way more expensive than a massage gun.
