Comparable to the expensive Theragun
I'll preface this by saying, I'm not an athlete or a gym rat. I do basic yoga and a half-assed workout every morning and somehow manage to get sore from time to time. On top of that, I have flat feet and my IT bands hate me.Now, with that said, I'll change gears a bit. My dad is huge tech nerd and is also the biggest sucker for Instagram ads. Combine the two and he ended up buying a Theragun. I was intrigued by it as I, too, have seen the slow-mo ads of the muscle jackhammer jiggling away on peoples bodies. So I tried it out and actually fell in love with it. It absolutely helped with my IT bands, legs, back, general muscle pains, and sore feet. When I looked it up on Amazon and saw that the Theragun was $400 I quickly wrote it off and didn't even consider getting it.Then the the Legiral Massage Gun popped up. And for $129 and nearly 3,500 five-star reviews, I was in hook, line, and sinker. I read the reviews, watched the videos, and decided to pull the trigger. And holy crap am I glad I did. This thing is EVERY bit as good as the expensive Theragun. The various attachments it comes with are actually better and more diverse than the Theragun. It has 20 levels of intensity, the Theragun has 5. The battery lasts forever. I charged it up right when it came and have used it for about 20 minutes every day and it's still full (8 days of use so far). My favorite attachment so far is the flat round plastic tip for my IT bands and back and the pointy plastic tip for the bottom of my feetsies.You might be asking yourself, "What the heck? You only gave it 4 stars!". Yes. This true. And here's why. I deducted a half-star for the ergonomics. It's a little weird to hold/handle compared to the Theragun but obviously not a deal breaker. And I deducted another half-star because the battery is nearly impossible to detach. After wrestling with it for 15 minutes in awkward positions and summoning the strength of the entire Power Team, my half-assed workouts got the best of the battery and it finally popped out.Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this massage gun.

Use with caution
This is not a cheap vibrator that gently shakes muscles. The interchangeable heads are shaped to penetrate deep into muscles. That being said, I have loved the massage gun to massage the larger muscle groups of the glutes, thighs, and even calf muscles. It reduces back in my lower back better than any other massager I've owned after I massage my glutes. However, if it is used around the neck or on thinner muscles, it has the potential to cause damage if you don't know what you are doing. It can shift vertebrae if it accidentally bumps into bone. One of the massage heads is designed specifically to use on the back while avoiding the spine. It works well in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing. Keep this massager out of the hands of children and in the hands of people who understand and respect which massage head to use which muscles.

Purchased this massage gun to help my lower back pain on the left side.
Delivered on June 1, 2020Purchased this massage gun to help my lower back pain on the left side and its already proving its worth.The build of this gun feels robust and of quality manufacturing. The holes for the screws that hold the two halves together are covered with small rubber seals which means even the smallest details weren't overlooked.The operation of the gun is easy to understand and simple to work with. It comes with 6 different massaging heads that serve different purposes for different parts of the body giving this gun versatility. It's definitely a quieter gun than other guns I've tried.The display is a nice LED display that tells you both battery life and massage speed.At this point I highly recommend this massage gun.Updated review in a week or two.-Update: June 7th,2020Everything remains the same. Still working as mentioned in initial review.Next update in 3 weeks.Update: June 22, 2020Massage gun has started to make some noise as if some internal parts have loosened. I'm not sure if I'm using the gun wrong and applying to much pressure against my body but it definitely has some rattling going on. Nothing annoying or major but I'm sure the sound is not gonna go away. Also, the battery/handle has started to feel a tiny bit loose from the gun. I forgot to mention that the battery is detachable. It felt very tight when I first received the gun but it has gotten loose. Please keep in mind that I use this gun everyday for a period of 5 - 30 minutes during each use. My usage may be more than what you'll use it for. I'm also a heavy set person at 260 lbs so I need to apply more pressure than is needed, at least I feel I need to apply more pressure. Everything else functions as it should. Battery life has not diminished. Only once have a run down the battery completely but it was over the course of 2 days.Update: July 26, 2020The massage gun is definitely making some noise now. Upon first use it was very quiet, relatively speaking. Now, it's noisy and a bit loud for my liking but still functions. I've noticed I don't feel as much pressure but I'm not sure if it's just my body or if it's the gun. The speed adjustment tab seems to be a bit off. It seems as if the sensor doesn't detect my finger when I try to increase the speed. Battery life seems to be the same. If batt life has dropped then it's barely noticeable. I still use the gun and it still helps. I'm okay with it I guess but we'll see how long this $150 will last me. Definitely cheaper than seeing a chiropractor though. Next update will be when the gun experiences severe failure.Next update in 3 weeks or if something else pops up.

Great massage guy for ATHLETES!!
Great for athletes. I do weightlifting and cross training and since massage guns became popular, I really wanted and knew I needed one. I finally found one with great specifications and an affordable price. What a difference it has made in my workouts! I recover quicker and I can tackle at workout the next day. If I feel sore, I engage in 10-15 minutes of using the massage gun and the soreness and tightness is gone. It comes with different attachments which is great for different muscle groups, and the battery lasts long! I’ve used it for 4-5 days and haven’t had to charge it yet.
