This £30 massage gun is the cheap and reliable option I needed to relax tight and achy muscles after bouldering

When I was searching for a massage gun, I found there were a lot of off-brand and poorly made options littering the digital shelves. But after a bit of research and input from our fitness experts at TechRadar, I settled on this Renpho model — and I have zero regrets.

So, if you're looking for a straightforward and affordable massage gun with all the essential accessories, I can comfortably recommend the Renpho Reach Massage Gun on Amazon for £29.99 (was £39.99).

What I like most is that, quite simply, it does the job. There are five speed options and several attachments to target specific areas or muscles, some of which are better for more general use, or others that are really good to focus on, say, my arms, after a bouldering session. If you've been there, you know the ache is real.

Meanwhile, if you want to target hard-to-reach areas like your shoulders and back, there's also an arm attachment that extends the grip, which makes it so much easier to hit those spots without asking for help or needing to contort yourself at weird angles.

Battery life and performance are solid, too, with a clear LED indicator showing you how much charge is left so you know when to plug it in, so it's ready to go for next time. There's also an automatic timer which switches off the massage gun after a period of continuous use for safety and to preserve the motor.

At just £30, I really have no complaints. And while there might be more advanced options out there with loads more attachments and clever features, for fairly irregular use just to provide a bit of muscle relief now and then, it's extremely hard to beat.
