There is a HUGE step up in quality coming from the Theragun Sense. This hits much harder and feels better. The smaller version provided more vibration while the Elite packs more punch. Can really feel the difference in the massage and relief.
Definitely go no lower than this model. Makes me wonder about the ones above this…

Got to relieve back pain, I take meds and have treatments that can cause muscle pain in my mid-back, and this helps relieve the pain. Definitely stronger than what I need, so I use less pressure. I also like the bluetooth control to program certain routines.
It comes with a nice carrying case with additional pockets to hold the other attachments and charging cable.

Works really well for hitting painful and knotted up areas of my body. Great tool to use before and after working out. It is expensive but worth it.

Okay I just got this today to see if its better than the cheaper kind I got awhile back... I never been so amaze that I have to write a review on this product. I was going for the Pro version but Elite is what settled for, the moment I got home from Bestbuy. I installed the App which was breeze and Bluetooth connection was fast and setup was less a minute. Right after the setup, I was so excited to try with the App on a 40% charge.. Getting Started directions was easy to follow... Now, I'm hook and I can't to try this again on full charge, lets see if the charge holds up for a full session.

Costly investment but definitely worth it, I recommend getting the protection plan for the theragun because you will be using it a lot. Battery life is great and charges fast. Definitely great device to speed up the recovery process.

This massager is the bomb! I use this thing everyday. I was a daily runner and occasional marathon runner. This Theragun helped with a speedy recovery. Then I got into a car accident and now I use it to elevate pain from the injuries I sustained. I have had it for years and it’s still going.

This massage machine is like a present from the gods! Omg I use it on my shoulders and upper back after a stressful work day and it makes my back feel so much better. Machine works well and I had it for a little while already and no issues. It also connects to an app that you can download in you smart phones and gives you different massage techniques.

I was shocked at how well this works. I use the lowest setting and it still makes a huge difference. Releases tightness and eases pain. You can use your FSA funds on this, too! I purchased during Black Friday to get a big discount. Worth every penny, either way.

I’m not one to use handheld massagers for a long time because they really didn’t help with my lower back or leg soreness. I’ve heard good things about Theragun and decided to try it out. When out of the box, you are greeted with this sturdy carrying case that holds the ELITE, the attachments and power cord. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this massager really gets my aches. Even my wife was impressed with how it really got her deep shoulder pains from a martial arts injury in her past. After about a week of using the Theragun Elite, here are my thoughts.
Pros:
- Design. It looks like a hand-held whisk, with a triangle grip. The grips (you can hold it in various angles) are ergonomically pleasing to my hands when trying to get my lower back. The grips (the whole device) has a nice rugged feeling and the percussions really dig deep into your body. The OLED screen at the top gives you easy controls of 5 set speeds: 1750, 1900, 2100, 2200, and 2400 PPM (Percussions Per Minute).
- Various Attachments: The Elite comes with 5 different attachments. The Standard Ball (comes already attached. Used for overall on large and small muscle groups), the Dampener (for tender bony areas), Wedge (shoulder blades and IT bands and used for scraping and flushing motions that helps decrease lactic acid in muscles), Thumb (for trigger points on the lower back) and the Cone (pinpoint treatment, especially in the feet area). They are easy to detach and attach.
- Battery Life: Theragun states that it can last 120 minutes on a full charge. We’ve used it every evening for about 15 minutes for the past 6 days and we still have about 27% battery life before we need to recharge. That’s pretty good.
- Handheld: This is what I really love about the Elite. My old massagers that I’ve owned in the past were always limited by the power cord. Yes, you have “unlimited” power but I love the freedom of being anywhere in my home or office and have access to it. Again, you are limited to the amount of charge on it, but who needs to use it for a straight 2 hours?
- Bluetooth/App experience: this is a neat feature because you can have different PPM other than the preset 5 on the device itself. When connected via Bluetooth, you can change the PPM on your phone, and don’t need to look at the OLED screen on the ELITE. This is a great feature, especially when I was using it on my back and didn’t want to remove the ELITE so I can see the screen. I can simply use my iPhone. There are several different routines (Sleep, Upper Back, Lower Back, etc) that are usually 6 minutes long. You can also add routines that focus on Body, Ailments, Activities, etc). This is a must use if you own the ELITE.
Neutral:
- Sound level: it’s not “that loud” but it is a little noisy. Especially if you are massaging the neck area the percussions are loud enough.
- The App: I use Apple products and downloading the app was simple enough. I ran into a lot of trouble setting up because it continued stating that “this email is already in use”. I was confused as this was my first ever Theragun product. I backed out of the app and closed it and opened it again and it worked. For the first couple days it would do this until the app was updated. There is a complete new interface and videos, no crashing whatsoever and was able to register my product. I placed this in the Neutral because of my overall initial experience.
Cons:
- The PPM sometimes hurt in sensitive areas. It can get rough and you cannot lower it under 1750 PPM.
- Overheating: It did get warm when I plugged it in the first time to charge it. Noticeably warm. Just be careful.
Overall, this Theragun ELITE is a great massager. I can’t wait to purchase the charging dock. Great app experience once you get over the initial problems, but I think they fixed that now. The ELITE really helps our aches and pains of daily life.

Second new theragun elite that would not hold a charge or turn on after plugged in and charged to 99% in 4+ hours.
I wanted to ensure the unit had a full charge before first use to get the battery at full capacity.
Before it got to 100%, the unit turned off the oled display. I tried to power on as instructions directed, but nothing. When I plugged it back in, the unit said 0% and started the slow charge process again.
The cord they have for the unit is very short too.
Instead of elite, it should probably be the ‘epic’ model, as in epic fail.
