This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Very easy, no prior knowledge required, battery-operated – Initial pressure of 1200 rpm is very high for the first stage | 90 points |
| Effect | Relieves tension, accelerates regeneration, reduces the feeling of stress, muscle pain, muscle soreness and muscle tension | 100 points |
| Areas of application | Full body, except in the head area, 6 different massage heads for different areas | 100 points |
| Security | Safety instructions in the instructions for use, no information on maximum pressure on specific areas of the body | 90 points |
| Variants | Only one color variant available | 90 points |
| Total | 98 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
Our practical test of the GYMBEAT® MassageGun shows that the manufacturer largely lives up to its advertising promises. It is extremely easy to use, requires no special prior knowledge and is battery-operated. However, the initial pressure of 1200 revolutions per minute could be perceived as too high for the first stage and could be uncomfortable for some users at first.
The effect of the device is remarkable as it provides effective tension relief, accelerates regeneration and promotes a reduction in feelings of stress, muscle pain, soreness and tension. The MassageGun offers broad application for the entire body (excluding the head area) and includes 6 different massage heads for specific muscle areas. There are safety instructions in the user manual, but there is no information on the maximum pressure on specific areas of the body. The product is available in a single color variant.
