The sixth-generation Theragun Prime sits in the middle of Therabody's range. It keeps the triangle handle Theragun is known for and adds one-button control over five speeds with real-time pressure feedback, so you can see how hard you are pressing. Over Bluetooth it links to the Therabody app, where Coach builds free recovery plans and can pull activity from a Garmin watch, Apple Watch, Strava or Google Health Connect, then tells you which areas to treat and which settings to use. That guidance is useful if you are not sure where to start after a long run or a day at a desk. Therabody says it withstands drops up to 10 feet. The weak points are the kit and battery: only the Dampener and Standard Ball heads come in the box, battery life is 120 minutes, and the warranty is one year. It weighs 32 oz.
