With the London Marathon now completed for another year, many runners are turning their attention to what comes next — recovery. After putting their bodies through such a gruelling challenge, the focus is now on how to bounce back quickly and effectively. Whether you’re recovering from 26.2 miles of pavement pounding or just feeling sore from a tough gym session, finding the right recovery tools can make a huge difference.
And according to Love Island All Stars winner and fitness enthusiast Molly Smith, there’s one product in particular that stands out. Molly, who has become known for her dedication to fitness, recently completed a half marathon herself and understands the toll intense training can take on the body. Wanting to help her Instagram followers who may be struggling with post-run muscle aches, she shared her go-to recovery essential: the Zerolia Deep Tissue Massage Gun.

Normally priced at £26.71, the Zerolia massage gun is currently available with 21% off, bringing the price down to a budget-friendly £21.06. Despite the low price point, the tool comes packed with features designed to aid muscle recovery, encourage blood circulation, and reduce soreness — all crucial when it comes to speeding up recovery and staying active.
One of the key highlights of the Zerolia Deep Tissue Massage Gun is its range of 30 speed settings, delivering between 1800 and 3600 percussions per minute. These are easily adjustable depending on which muscle group you’re targeting and how sensitive or sore it feels.
The gun also includes noise reduction technology, ensuring that your recovery routine won’t disturb your surroundings. And with up to six hours of use per charge, it’s practical for both home use and travel — though that runtime applies to the lowest setting.
To add to its versatility, the Zerolia massage gun comes with 10 different massage heads, each designed for different parts of the body. Whether you’re tackling large muscle groups or smaller, hard-to-reach areas, the attachments help ensure you get the most out of each session.
Amazon reviewers have been quick to share their thoughts. One happy customer said: “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 echoed the praise: “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.”
Still, not every review was perfect. One user pointed out a few drawbacks, saying: “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’re looking for an upgrade or a more premium alternative, the Homedics NOVO Mini Massage Gun is available for £59.99, offering a compact and travel-friendly solution. For even more advanced recovery tools, Therabody’s range includes models that combine massage with heat and LED therapy to take your recovery routine to the next level, reports the Mirror.
