Therabody, the maker of popular massage guns and other wellness devices, announced at CES 2025 that it will introduce a new AI-powered digital recovery platform called Coach.
The new platform will launch in beta within Therabody's app. Currently, the app offers users easy-to-follow unique routines, but Coach takes recovery and health a step further by using data to understand your current needs.
Developed in partnership with Garmin, Coach combines user data and generated AI to deliver a personalized recovery plan that adjusts in real-time based on your goals, activity levels, and health metrics. Coach works by collecting data from your Garmin smartwatch, Apple Health, Google Fit, Strava, and more.
The platform analyzes user data, integrates user feedback, and connects with Therabody products to provide personalized reminders and recommendations to support athletic performance and overall health. For example, if your coach sees that you have completed a 5km run, he will suggest that you start restoring your legs to reduce pain.
“It is important to note that Therabody is not doing AI for AI’s sake,” said John Solomon, CMO of Therabody, in a press release. “As with all of our products, we considered how AI could solve consumer problems, and over time, powered by rich data from Garmin, we You'll be able to really understand how recovery impacts performance at a scale that wasn't possible before.”
First, the coach connects to Therabody's Theragun. The company plans to add support for more products in the future.
