Therabody, the maker of popular massage guns and other wellness devices, announced at CES 2025 that it’s launching an AI-powered digital recovery app called Coach by Therabody.
While Therabody’s flagship app is designed to give you easy-to-follow proprietary routines, Coach takes recovery and wellness a step further by using data to understand users’ current needs. With this new app, Therabody is delving further into the wellness apps market.
Developed in partnership with Garmin, the app combines user data with generative AI to provide personalized recovery plans that adjust in real-time based on users’ goals, activity levels, and health metrics. The app works by collecting data from Garmin smartwatches, along with Apple Health, Google Fit, Strava, and more.
The app analyzes user data, integrates user feedback, and connects with Therabody products to provide personalized reminders and recommendations that support athletic performance and overall well-being. For instance, if the app sees that you completed a 5K run, it will suggest that you start your leg recovery to reduce soreness.
“It’s important to note that Therabody is not doing AI for AI’s sake,” said Therabody CMO, John Solomon, in a press release. “As with all our products, we looked at how AI could solve a problem for our consumers. And over time, feeding it with the rich data from Garmin will allow us to really understand how recovery impacts performance at a scale that’s not been achievable until now.”
To start, Coach will connect with Therabody’s Theragun. The company plans to add support for more of its products in the future.
The app is available to download on iOS and Android.
