Therabody Therabody is known for its massage guns that help with post-workout recovery, but its latest device gives you a little extra oomph during your exercise. According to Therabody, the Cryo Therm Palm cools your hands in order to kick the onset of fatigue down the road and maintain grip strength. It's reasonable to be skeptical of this $399.99 device, but Therabody said that the University of Southern California's soccer players did 58 percent more reps in their final set in real-world testing with the CryoTherm Palm.
Even though it bears some slight resemblance to a Shake Weight, you don't grab the CryoTherm Palm in the middle. Instead you rest both your palms on each end during breaks in training for one to three minutes at a time. You can select between three levels for both cold and heat therapy, or do contrast therapy where one side is hot and the other is cold. Therabody also included a stopwatch function on the device, which has a max battery life of 120 minutes.
