From April through August, I live like a real piece of shit. I drink more, smoke more, use sunscreen sparingly, and eat whatever I can find. I build my summer body up and tear it down in this cycle year after year.

Now I'm about to restart the cycle, and the only products that are really going to help me -- besides the squat rack and kettlebells at my gym -- are Therabody ones. I don't care about Apple, Saatva, or deals on Amazon. Just get me a massage gun to fix my always aching legs.

Now, are the deals amazing? No. But as I said, this is personal preference, not me hunting for the biggest and best deals. On the sleep and beauty side, the TheraFace Pro and TheraFace Mask are the big callouts. The TheraFace Pro won an Esquire Grooming Award when it debuted, and it's still our favorite at-home facial tool.

What I really need for my summer body 2026 cycle is performance recovery gear. I'll be in the gym more than I have in the past six months. I don't wear squishy Hokas, so I need something to help my muscles recover, like the Theragun Prime Plus and RecoveryAir PRO boots. That Theragun is the perfect mid-tier model for standard runners or lifters. Those RecoveryAir PRO boots are top-of-the-line tech for hardcore runners.

Whether or not you took the summer off to drink wine and eat french fries every day, if you're even remotely interested in getting fit this year, this is the best sale of Labor Day weekend. Forget all the boring stuff. Tap in and join me on this journey to get fit for summer 2026.
