Great functionality but terrible fabric resilience

This works great functionally. But I've used this in the gym between sets, as was suggested. And after the 1st day of using it for such a purpose and not really pushing the product hard, the fabric was damaged, and the metal piece could be seen externally. It seems the company didn't test the product correctly in such a context. I do not suggest you use this product version in the gym at all. But I do suggest you use it at home — only.
I’m a big Therabody fan and supporter! For the price, these fell short on performance. I ordered a medium and the sleeves covered the entirety of my arm from under armpit to wrist. So they were very long. The medium felt ok. Not snug but not quite loose either. The vibration was only ok. For the price and the length of the sleeves I would’ve been happy if the vibration was stronger and the sleeves had vibration pellets around the entirety of the sleeves. Enough to get the triceps, biceps and deltoids as well as more down the length and perimeter of the forearms. It served well to distract you from tennis elbow while running the sleeves on high. I wish the battery lasted longer. It said 40 minutes run time but I’m not sure what setting got you a 40 minute run time. The idea is genius! I really really wanted to love them as I’m in dire need for something to help my recovery after work and getting worked on myself. The sleeves themselves are very sleek on design and fit. It’s not too much compression. It was easier to move my arms if I had to vs other sleeves. The fabric was the best I’ve ever had on a sleeve.
I was suffering from severe tennis elbow when I saw the new product release for the recovery pulse arm. I ordered it immediately and within days I have recovered almost complete pain free use of my arm. I now wear it playing pickle ball and it maintains my recovery. 3 friends have already ordered one. I highly recommend this product
