Hyperice’s new ultra-compact Hypervolt Go 3 costs just $149, delivers four hours of battery life and features five adjustable speed settings
Hyperice has launched the Hypervolt Go 3, a $149 percussion massage device designed to make professional-grade recovery more accessible in a smaller, portable format, at a lower price point.
Weighing just 1.6 pounds, the Hypervolt Go 3 is among the most compact devices in Hyperice’s lineup. Despite its small footprint, the device delivers up to four hours of battery life, a 33 percent improvement over the previous generation, along with five adjustable speed settings, up from three on the prior model, controlled through a new digital dial.
The device is compatible with Hyperice’s Heated Head Attachment, which combines percussion massage with heat therapy across three temperature levels ranging from 109 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
At $149, the Hypervolt Go 3 also lands below competing products in the compact percussion category. Therabody’s Theragun Mini Plus, for example, retails for $279.99, $130 more than the Hypervolt Go 3.
The new launch comes as recovery is quickly becoming one of the fastest-growing infrastructure investments across the fitness industry, being integrated directly into gyms and boutique studios as operators look to expand the value of the fitness experience beyond the workout itself.
Major fitness operators, such as Equinox, Life Time, EOS Fitness, Chuze and 24 Hour Fitness, have introduced recovery spaces that incorporate technology including Hyperice devices.
Professional sports have helped establish the credibility behind the category.
Hyperice equipment has been adopted widely across elite athletics, with major U.S. professional leagues, including the NFL, NBA, MLB and PGA Tour, purchasing products from the company. At the collegiate level, roughly 90 percent of the more than 350 NCAA Division I athletic programs have also purchased Hyperice technology, according to the brand.
The travel industry is also capitalizing on this trend. Hospitality brands including Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, Accor and Soho House are exploring recovery as part of their broader wellness strategies, with some introducing gear-lending programs that allow guests to borrow recovery devices during their stay. Westin has already implemented such programs with Hyperice technology across approximately 250 hotels worldwide.
In a 2023 interview with Athletech News, Hyperice CEO Jim Huether predicted much of the ascent of recovery technology inside gyms and studios today.
“The emergence of recovery and wellness rooms and facilities is going to continue to grow to where they become the standard,” Huether noted. “You’re seeing leading fitness players now integrate recovery and wellness rooms into their facilities. So you’ll have add-on services, some of them paid, some of them free as value-adds. I think we’re going to see tens of thousands of recovery rooms and services throughout the world.”
