Love Island All Stars winner Molly Smith has shared the massage gun she used to help her post-marathon recovery, and it’s currently got 21% off at Amazon
With the London Marathon done for another year, runners’ focus is all on how to quickly recover from the gruelling event. If you’re looking for a way to speed up your post-run recovery (or even just need a way to ease your muscles after the gym) then fitness fanatic Molly Smith has got the answer.
The winner of Love Island All Stars is known for her love of fitness, and ran a half marathon just a few weeks ago. To help any Instagam followers struggling with post-run muscle aches, she shared that the Zerolia Deep Tissue Massage Gun was a must-have for recovery.

Sharing a snap of the massage gun on Instagram, Molly wrote: “My runners I would highly recommend one of these, it helped my recovery last time.” She also added: “Just checked and it’s currently on offer too!”
The Zerolia Deep Tissue Massage Gun is usually priced at £26.71, but is currently on offer with 21% off, slashing it down to £21.06. The lightweight massage gun is perfect for helping accelerate muscle recovery, encourage blood flow and relieve muscle pain.
It has 30 different speed settings which range from 1800 to 3600 percussions per minute, and these are easy to alter depending on which muscle you’re targeting and how sore it is. The Zerolia Massage Gun has noise reduction technology, so it’s not too intrusive to use, and gives you six hours of use on a single charge, making it ideal for taking on the go.
As well as the range of speeds, the Zerolia Deep Tissue Massage Gun comes with 10 different massage heads to suit different parts of the body. The different shapes help target different muscles and surface areas, as well as helping get into trickier to reach places and angles.
Plenty of Amazon shoppers have praised it too, with one saying: “I have been very impressed with the quality of this massage gun. It is very easy to use, the variety of different attachments available is ideal, and the effect on the targeted muscles after just a few minutes use is definitely noticeable. It helps with pain relief too. Added to this the very long battery life, and all-in-all it has been a very worthwhile purchase.”
Another agreed: “Love this!!! so easy to use and really helps the legs after a long run. lasts for ages after a full charge and has tons of different attachments. Quality product.”
One reviewer did mention: “Does what it says on the tin and tbf it’s for the price it works fine, you do get what you pay for though and the battery is too small, the quotes up to 6 hours is only on level 1. The handle gets hot when it’s been used for 20 odd minutes.”
If you want to invest a little more money in your massage gun, the Homedics NOVO Mini Massage Gun is £59.99 and perfect for using on the go thanks to its handy mini travel size. You can also pick up Therabody’s range of massage tools , which range from a small hand held device to one that offers heating and LED alongside massage to help boost recovery.
