As anyone who’s ever stayed up late enough to see Danoz Direct can attest, the novelty of getting new gadgets wears off pretty darn quick. (See: the Ab Circle Pro currently gathering dust at the back of my garage.) Every now and then though, one crops up with real staying power. Enter Aldi’s $90 massage gun.
Courtesy of the German retailer’s Special Buys range, the product is essentially a cheaper version of the Theragun which retails for $899 in Aus. It comes with five interchangeable heads and three intensity settings, depending on your desired pressure and the muscles you want to target.

It originally went on sale back in January and quickly garnered cult-like status for its ability to effectively ease pain and tightness without breaking the bank.
“What a bargain, these things are so expensive usually,” one person wrote on Facebook. “This is the last thing you would think of Aldi selling,” another added, explaining they’d paid a pretty penny for a similar product. One fan admitted she uses hers every day and it “works a treat.”
As for the other items featured in this month’s fitness-themed sale? A boxing tower and bag ($199), exercise bike ($199) and compression tights (starting at $14.99).
We know how we’ll be spending this lockdown (sorry, wallet!) This promotion will be running in-store as of August 15.
What’s your go-to way to ease muscle pain?
It’s really interesting looking but I’ve never used anything like it before.
I have a similar one that I got off Ebay and it works so well. I highly recommend you try one if you have someone that can do it for you.
Aldi always has some Awesome Deals on everything and they are only for a limited time. Really love some of Aldi’s Cloth Masks they make your skin feel wonderful.
This Massager sounds great will check it out in Aldi.
Will def be checking this out. Too much computer use has given me a sore neck and shoulders.
Do not need massagers or massages. Haven’t bee in Aldi in aeons.
Interesting products at Aldi, I did want to try that heat styling product they had
This looks convenient
Interesting. Aldi have some amazing items for sale. I have a mattress for a single bed that I got from Aldi and its lovely and comfortable.
I saw the massager advertised but it’s not something I need. I always check out Aldi’s special deals because they have some awesome products.
We have a heat massager that hardly ever gets used, but it’s there “just in case”. This is an amazing price though.
I love Aldi products, they are cheaper and suit their purpose. I am going to get the exercise pants from that catalogue.
It looks like a power tool. I doubt it would be good for the back of my neck.
I do yoga stretches &, if necessary, a hot water bottle when I’ve got muscle aches. A bath with magnesium salts is soothing, too.
I love checking out Aldi’s weekly special buys
I have a thing like that I got as a gift for Chrissy. I know what you mean – I haven’t had a chance to use it yet – it’s one of those foot bath massager pool things that you plug in. Maybe now I remembered about it from reading your comment I’ll pull it out of the cupboard this weekend! ; )
I couldn’t help but notice how big it is! Looks like you’d need muscles to operate this massage tool! Wowzers!
id prefer a real massage haha
Looks interesting. But i think the novelty would wear off and it would just end up with the rest of the junk on the top shelf in the garage.
Not something I’d use.
I’d rather a real massage
Aldi make some great dupes, I love looking at their health and beauty products.
I already have a massager gadget which I use when I remember or have the need. It seems like a good buy as long as it lasts a while.
I’ve never understood these things… I just have an actual massage… But whatever floats your goat…
Looks very bulky, it’s bigger than some of the tools I’m currently using for DIY!
My parents have two of those electric massagers and I guess they use it on and off but it’s best to put it where you can see it otherwise out of sight out of mind.
Wow!! That looks amazing!! I love massages especially, now with working from home I feel like my posture is a tiny bit worse at home and been feeling it in my muscles a lot more (either that or I am just feeling my age) haha
Aldi has some amazing stuff sometimes!
Me personally, I’d prefer the real deal over what appears to be a somewhat frightening contraption, but whatever floats your boat. For now I’ll stick to massaging in some magnesium oil spray stuff whenever my muscles tense up.
My SIL’s physio recommended it…
oh cool!
Got to love Aldi… Ha ha!!! Looks interesting…
Aldi is amazing sometimes in what it sells for great prices
I like checking out Aldi for bargains!
aldi special buys are the best! I use a massage/TENS machine I got from Aldi and it helps my neck muscles so much.
That sounds sublime!
Shut up and take my money!
I love looking at the special buys from Aldi each week
New product to try.
These look scary
I had never heard of this massager or seen it anywhere.Sounds fantastic !
I have a significant amount of pain in my body so I’d love a massage tool, but this one looks too heavy for me to use.
Good old Aldi, always coming up with new affordable products as good as top brand ones
I know, I would probably not use it right and do myself some damage!
I like to use Florentine Gold cream on my muscles – or my physio!
I could do with a massage.
ALDI Special Buys for the win again!
Always haha!
Sounds like the price is right! It’s amazing what you can get at Aldi!
I do 15 minutes of yoga every morning and that keeps my muscles supple. I also adore a good massage now and then.
A wise move- excuse the pun!
I have a massage gun to help with my pain and it works wonders. It was 70.
