Recovagun

The massage gun for runners.

Quiet. Light. Built for calves that have carried you 20 miles.

Recovery, reduced to essentials

Built for miles, not marketing.

One product. Two colourways. No 30-speed spec wars, no app, no gimmicks. A massage gun that does one job exceptionally well — and fits in your race-day bag.

  • Silent

    Under 55dB. Quiet enough to use next to a sleeping flatmate — or your warmup mat at run club.

  • 1.5 lbs

    Light enough to live in your kit bag. Brings itself to every marathon, every track night, every long Sunday.

  • 6-hour battery

    USB-C, no proprietary charger. 90-minute charge lasts a full training block.

CALVES & SOLEUS

The 20-mile tightness

The knot you feel after a long run isn't in your head — it's deep in your gastroc. The angled head and 10mm amplitude reach the soleus without grinding on your shin.

QUADS & IT BAND

Five minutes, not fifty

Roll out quads, hip flexors, and IT band in one round. The fork head isolates the IT band so you can stop doing the weird foam-roller-against-a-wall thing.

POST-LONG-RUN FLUSH

Two minutes per muscle. That's it.

After a 15+ miler, it's two minutes a muscle group and you're done. Down from a 40-minute stretch session to a 10-minute recovery round.

An honest comparison

Priced like a running accessory.
Built like a recovery tool.

Made by a runner, not a gadget brand

I built this because nothing on the market was built for us.

I run. I've tried the $300 Therabody and the $30 Amazon gun. One was too heavy for my race bag. The other rattled itself apart after two months. Recovagun is the thing I wished existed — one product, honest specs, priced like a running accessory instead of a medical device. If you run, every decision here will make sense. — Joe, founder

FAQ

Questions runners actually ask

How is this different from a Theragun?

Three things. First, it's one-third the price — we don't pay retail markup or celebrity endorsements. Second, it's lighter (1.5 lbs vs 2.2) and quieter (under 55dB) so it actually lives in your run bag. Third, it's built specifically for the muscle groups runners actually use: calves, soleus, quads, IT band. We skipped the back/shoulder marketing and the app.

Is it actually quiet enough for apartments and run clubs?

Yes. Under 55 decibels — roughly the volume of a normal conversation. You can take a work call while using it. You can use it at a post-run cafe meetup without being the person everyone turns to look at.

How long does the battery last?

Six hours of continuous use on medium speed. For most runners that's roughly a month of post-run sessions between charges. Charges in 90 minutes over USB-C (the same cable as your phone, not a proprietary brick).

Can I take it on a plane?

Yes, carry-on only. The lithium-ion battery is under the 100 Wh TSA / CAA limit so it's cleared for cabin use. Fits in the same pocket as your running shoes in a marathon travel bag.

What's included?

The Recovagun, three attachments (ball, fork, flat), a USB-C cable, and a compact carrying case. No bloated 8-attachment kit you'll never use.

What's the warranty and return policy?

One-year manufacturer warranty covering defects. 30-day risk-free returns — if you try it for a month and it's not for you, send it back for a full refund, no questions asked. Return shipping is on us (US and UK).

When will I receive it?

Orders ship in 10–14 business days. We keep inventory lean to stay lean on pricing. Free shipping to the US and UK on every order.

Who is this for?

Runners. Half and full marathoners, run club regulars, hybrid athletes, and people who take their training seriously enough to care about recovery. If you don't run, a lot of the design choices (quiet, light, runner-specific attachments) won't land. That's fine — there are plenty of massage guns built for everyone else.
