The only downside to a hard workout (besides getting out of bed and putting "real" clothes on)? Soreness, of course! After a big run, heavy lift, or even a long walk, aches and pains can make it harder to go about the day, cause you to lose sleep, and harm your performance in your next workout. Reaching your fitness goals while keeping pain to a minimum can be difficult, which is why pro athletes and celebrities turn to massage guns for quick recovery — and so should you.

"Once you recognize the tightness, stiffness, soreness in your neck, shoulders, and beyond, you're going to want to know that you can self-massage to relieve the tension in your body," licensed massage therapist Brenda Austin previously told Shape. 

While myth has it that this powerful, muscle recovery tech is reserved for the pros, you can snag this deep tissue massage gun (which multiple users called "a lifesaver") for just $55 during Cyber Monday. With more than 12,000 perfect ratings on Amazon, the FlyBy Percussion Muscle Massager Gun ($55 with coupon, was $70, amazon.com) has converted shoppers into loyal fans by working 50 pounds of pressure deep into sore areas of the neck, back, and legs, relieving tension and stiffness in a matter of minutes. 

"This machine is incredible. I am a triathlete aspiring to turn professional and my recovery is every bit as important as my workouts themselves…after using this device for even 10 minutes after a tough run I already felt massive relief that I can only otherwise get from a deep tissue massage," wrote one customer, who called the massager "a must for athletes."

"I have major knots in my upper back and shoulders due to rounded shoulders, sport injuries, and prior whiplash. This helps loosen up tightness and break up knots," added another user. "I love the value and quality and now [that] I can stop spending money on massages outside the house, which I honestly wasn't comfortable doing given the pandemic."
