Powerfully quiet, professional-grade performance.
The deep muscle treatment pros trust with the durability and features they rely on. Enhance muscle recovery, release stress and tension, and soothe discomfort with the smart percussive therapy device in a league of its own.
Depth
The key to true deep muscle treatment is a precise amplitude—essentially how far the arm or shaft of the device extends and retracts to reach the body and deliver each percussion. The Theragun stands apart with a 16 mm amplitude that reaches 60% deeper into muscle than average massagers.
Speed
Most low-amplitude, high-speed massagers rapidly vibrate and desensitize the skin. Going beyond mere vibration, the Theragun actually leaves the surface of the skin at 40 times per second, allowing it to target a localized area of the body without the brain acclimating to the stimulation.
Force
When our founder Dr. Jason Wersland searched for a natural solution for his pain, the devices he tried didn't get to the root of his discomfort. Thirteen versions later, the PRO delivers our unique amplitude and speed with up to 60 lbs. force without stalling - a powerful, potent dose for greater circulation and tension release.

Recovery FAQs
Universal Athletic Club offers several recovery tools to help you feel better between workouts, including HydroMassage, Theragun PRO percussive therapy, NORMATEC compression therapy, and our Cold Tub. Whether you want to reduce soreness, relax tight muscles, or simply unwind after a workout, there are options to make recovery part of your fitness routine.
Many of our recovery options are included with your Universal Athletic Club membership, including Theragun PRO, NORMATEC compression therapy, and access to the Cold Tub. HydroMassage availability depends on your membership or HydroMassage access.
Your body doesn't get stronger only while you're working out—it also needs time to recover. A consistent recovery routine can help reduce muscle soreness and tension, support circulation, improve mobility, and help you feel ready for your next workout.
HydroMassage allows you to enjoy a relaxing, targeted massage while remaining fully clothed. Warm water and pressurized jets massage the body to help temporarily relieve minor aches and pains, reduce muscle soreness and tension, promote relaxation, and increase circulation in the areas being massaged. Universal has seven HydroMassage lounge chairs across three dedicated recovery rooms.
NORMATEC uses compressed air to provide a dynamic compression massage to your legs, arms, or hips. It's designed to help improve circulation, reduce soreness and swelling, decrease muscle fatigue, and support faster recovery between workouts. Best of all, NORMATEC is included with your club membership.
Theragun PRO is a professional-grade percussive therapy device designed to provide deep muscle treatment. It can be used to help release muscle tension, soothe discomfort, and support recovery. Theraguns are available at Universal and their use is included with your club membership.
Cold-water immersion can be a useful part of a recovery routine, particularly after challenging workouts. Our Cold Tub can help reduce muscle soreness and inflammation while providing an invigorating way to finish your workout or recovery session. The Cold Tub is located in the Aquatics Center and is included with your club membership.
It depends on the recovery method and your goals. Some recovery tools can be used before exercise to help prepare your body to move, while others are ideal after your workout to help you relax and recover. Our team can help you decide which options make the most sense for your routine.
No. Recovery isn't only for days when you're sore. Making recovery part of your regular fitness routine can help you manage muscle tension, support mobility and circulation, and feel better between workouts. Think of recovery as part of your training—not just something you do when something hurts.
Universal's club recovery options give members convenient access to tools like NORMATEC, Theragun, HydroMassage, and the Cold Tub as part of their regular fitness routine. Our Recovery Center takes recovery and wellness to another level with additional advanced technologies and specialized services. If you're looking for a more personalized or comprehensive recovery plan, our team can help you explore the Recovery Center.
