Double discounts make this heated massage gun a fitness must-have

For supercharging post-gym recovery without costly visits to a physio, nothing beats a massage gun – and right now Renpho’s Active + Heat is going for a song. Black Friday discounts have dropped the deep tissue massager to below half price in the UK, while in the US an equally appealing discount on the Active+ Thermacool adds cryo therapy into the mix.

Beyond hammering your body with thousands of vibrations per minute to stimulate blood flow and soothe aching muscles, the Active + Heat portable therapeutic pistol has a heating element that can help warm up your muscles pre-workout. Bluetooth connectivity and an app stuffed with guided massage routines let you control the speed and strength to suit whatever exercises take your preference.

Up to 50lb of massage intensity is tough enough to liberate the deepest of deep tissues, using the four other bundled massage heads. A handy carry case is thrown in too, for lugging it all between gym visits.

Black Friday Week is here, and you can find all the best offers over on Amazon US and Amazon UK.

While Amazon has seen prices tumble, you’ll have to head directly to the Renpho web store to get the best Black Friday discounts. In the UK, £80 is already a decent chunk of change less than the £140 RRP – but when you use the code BFCM2025 at checkout it’ll bring the final cost down to £64. That’s a proper bargain for a heated massager.

There’s no direct equivalent on sale over at Renpho’s US storefront – but fitness fanatics will absolutely want to check out the Active+ Thermacool instead. It has all the bells and whistles of the Active+, only the massage head can also lower its temperature down to a cool 50 °F/10 °C. This can make a major difference to recovery times over a regular massager.

Normally the Active+ Thermacool retails for $130, but it’s currently $110 in the Black Friday sale. Discount codes can then bring that to below three figures, which is unheard of for a dual temperature massager. Use the code BFCM2025 and it’ll set you back just $93.50.

Whether you’re a regular gym bunny or only work out occasionally, it’s well worth adding one of these to your kit bag.
