FitGun massage gun: A simple guide to proper use

The FitGun massage gun has become a popular tool in recent years for relieving muscle tension, relaxing the body, and accelerating recovery after exercise. However, many people wonder how to use the device correctly to achieve the best results. In this article, I want to show you how to use the FitGun massage gun easily and effectively to relax your muscles and promote recovery.

1. What is included in the delivery of the FitGun massage gun?

Before using the FitGun massage gun for the first time, it's important to know what you'll find in the box. Typically, the box contains:

  • The FitGun massage gun

  • Several attachments , each designed for different muscle groups and applications

  • A charger so you can recharge the gun whenever you need it

  • A carrying bag that helps you to safely store and transport the device and the attachments

  • An instruction manual that explains step by step how to use the device correctly

Once you unpack the device, you'll find that the massage gun is well-made and ready to use. All you have to do now is use it properly!

2. The first steps – Turn on the massage gun

The FitGun is incredibly simple and user-friendly to use. To start the device, all you have to do is press the power button . On most models, this button is clearly visible and easily accessible. Once the device is turned on, you can adjust the intensity of the massage.

  • Press the power button to activate the device.

  • With the + and - buttons you can control the intensity of the vibration, depending on how deeply you want to work into the muscles.

  • The LED display informs you about the currently set intensity.

It's a good idea to start with a lower intensity level, especially if you're using the massage gun for the first time or treating sensitive muscles. Depending on the muscle group you're massaging, you can adjust the intensity accordingly.

3. Choosing the right attachment

One of the biggest advantages of the FitGun massage gun is the wide selection of different attachments . Each attachment has a specific function and is suitable for a specific muscle group or application. Choosing the right attachment will ensure you achieve the desired results.

  • Ball attachment : Perfect for large muscle groups like thighs, calves, and back. The ball attachment is universal and suitable for most general applications.

Fork attachment : Ideal for the neck and spine, as this attachment works gently between the vertebrae and optimally relaxes the muscles in the neck area.

Flat attachment : Especially good for larger muscle groups like the back or thighs. It provides an even massage surface and helps relieve tension over a large area.

Bullet attachment : This attachment is mainly used to treat trigger points – small, stubborn tensions that are located particularly deep in the muscles.

Heat attachment : A very soothing attachment that pampers your muscles with pleasant warmth and stimulates blood circulation. It's especially suitable after intense training or for chronic tension.

Ice pack : If you are struggling with inflammation or swelling after an injury or intense exercise, the ice pack will help speed up recovery and relieve pain.

It's worth choosing the right attachment for each muscle group to achieve the most effective treatment. Changing the attachments is quick and easy—you simply plug them into the front of the FitGun.

4. Application tips – How to use the massage gun correctly

Now comes the practical part: the actual application. Whether you want to relieve tension after exercise or simply need some relaxation after a long day at work, it's very easy to use.

  • General massage : To achieve widespread relaxation, move the massage gun over the muscles in slow, even motions. Large muscle groups such as the thighs, calves, or back particularly benefit from this type of application.

  • Targeted trigger point treatment : If you want to massage specific areas that are particularly tense (such as the neck or certain parts of the back), hold the gun on that spot for a few seconds and allow the vibrations to penetrate deep into the muscle tissue. The bullet attachment is especially helpful for this.

  • After exercise : When using the gun for post-exercise recovery, make sure to move the gun over the muscles in smooth, even motions. This promotes blood circulation and accelerates the healing process.

Try to massage each muscle group for about 10 to 15 minutes. Be careful not to leave the gun in one spot for too long, as this could cause skin irritation.

5. After use – care and storage

Once you're finished with your massage, it's important to properly care for your FitGun massage gun . Turn off the device, remove the attachment, and clean it carefully. A damp cloth is usually sufficient to remove dirt and residue from the attachments.

The included carrying case is ideal for storing the FitGun. This is practical for keeping the gun and all attachments safe and organized. Be sure to charge the device regularly so it's always ready for use.

6. Safety instructions

Before using the FitGun massage gun, you should follow some safety instructions:

  • Avoid applying directly to bones, joints and open wounds.

  • If you are pregnant , have cardiovascular disease or other health conditions, you should consult a doctor before use.

  • Do not use the device on one area for too long to avoid skin irritation or muscle overstimulation.

  • Do not use the device on inflamed or painful areas as this may worsen the condition.
