Ekrin Athletics Kestrel Massage Gun Enhanced Precision Comfort for Superior Muscle Recovery Wellness Relieve Sore Muscles and Stiffness

I had no idea how much I’d LOVE this massage gun. I did my research before buying (was looking at this or the Theragun Pro). I am so glad I went with the Ekrin B37S. It handles beautifully, feels great to hold, and is really solid. I am smaller framed person so having something with the amplitude as deep as Theragun wasn’t my focus, rather stall force and battery life were priorities. This gun has it all and is really impressive. I go to physical therapy twice a week and massage every other week to help with chronic neck and back pain (every trigger point in the back due to tension is constantly noticeable). Since using this gun, I’ve noticed the muscle tension has decreased and my range of motion is improving. I can only imagine how great this will be for pre- and post work outs. And no other conpany that I found matched Ekrin’s lifetime warranty. Impressive. My only criticism is the power level selection - its is operated by one simple button that also turns it on/off. When you cycle to the highest setting, you can’t scale it back a level without having to turn it off first. In the grand scheme of things, this is not a big deal by any means, but it would be nice if it could do that. For the cost (which is excellent considering the value), you’d be hard pressed to find a better built product (they honestly could charge more and I’d still buy it). Highly recommend. Read more

I am a big guy with some persistent muscle knots in my lower back, neck and a torn MCL. I wanted something with the most power possible and this thing packs a punch. It is exactly what I needed and works wonders to loosen my back with a lot of pressure (I'm about 240 lbs and lean back on it to get a deep tissue skeletal vibration. Hahah it is amazing. Using in more lightly on my neck and injured knees is also perfect relief and relaxation. It's definitely a "buy it for life" quality product and I am very glad I didn't opt for something else.

The build quality is excellent. But the lowest setting is too strong. If you hit a bone, it hurts like hell. If you even get close to the neck area, your head will ring like a bell. Read more

I recently tested both the Kestrel Percussion Massager and the Hypervolt 2, and here's my comparison. Performance: The Kestrel boasts a 13mm stroke length with 6 speeds, providing a powerful and customizable massage experience. The Hypervolt 2, while good, offers a slightly shorter 12mm stroke length and only 3 speed settings. Battery Life: The Kestrel wins hands down with up to 8 hours of battery life compared to the Hypervolt's 3 hours. This means fewer interruptions and more efficient recovery sessions. Attachments: With 6 interchangeable heads, the Kestrel offers more versatility compared to the Hypervolt's 5 heads. This allows for more targeted muscle relief. Charging and Design: The Kestrel uses convenient USB-C PD fast charging, unlike the Hypervolt's proprietary charger. The textured silicone grip of the Kestrel also provides a secure and comfortable hold during use. Price and Warranty: The Kestrel is currently priced lower at $227.50 (on sale) compared to the Hypervolt's $299. Additionally, the Kestrel comes with a lifetime warranty, significantly better than the Hypervolt's 1-year warranty. Conclusion: While both massage guns are effective, the Kestrel Percussion Massager offers superior performance, longer battery life, more attachments, convenient charging, and a better warranty at a lower price point. It's a clear winner for anyone serious about their recovery routine. Read more

Fantastic massage gun that resists stalling better than all the others I tried and sent back. I also have an Ached away pro which is a beast due to its 16mm amplitude. The Kestrel is just as strong with slightly less amplitude but does a great job. I'm 6'6" tall with chronic spine issues and need a gun that is as strong as can be and the Kestrel and ached away pro are the only 2 are the strongest out there. The Kestrel has a great thumb wheel that controls the speed so if you want to ease it off for more sensitive areas you can do that easily with that control wheel. Highly recommended for people looking for a strong /powerful gun. It isn't cheap but I'd say you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to these massage guns.. Read more

II was directed to consider buying a massage gun by my chiropractor. He uses a Theragun PRO 4th Generation and recommended I start my research there and purchase a massager that met my requirements/needs. I looked at the Pro model he has but was not comfortable with the $500 price point. I was completely happy with the Theragun Elite 4th Generation after doing a lot of research and review reading as to the exact reason for any dissatisfaction. One review stood out since it was mentioned not once but on multiple websites where the massager can be purchased. The negative mentioned was the fact that the battery within the Theragun Elite 4th Generation seems to fail too soon and the warranty on the product is only one year. So, again I looked for comparison reviews to discover competitors’ that I should take a serious look at. In doing so, I found that many of the comparison reviews held the Ekrin Athletics B37S in high esteem. This took me back to research and more reading of many reviews after which I was convinced, I had found my massager. Not only were there many positive reviews but for many owners they were sincerely happy with their massager. What sold me is the fact that I have used it everyday after charging for varying amounts of time and the battery indicator is still full. The massager is strong, low noise and has a lifetime warranty! I have complete piece of mind with my purchase. Read more
