Gym Monster Smart Home Gym, Multifunctional Strength Machine | 220 LBS Resistance, Smith Machine, Power Cage, Squat Rack & Cable Machine for Home Workouts

Love my Speediance Gym Monster. I looked at a lot of reviews and settled on the works plus bundle. I then bought the handle extenders separate, because the cables do bite into your arms when doing some of the handle workouts. The machine comes very well packaged. My box had some damage, but everything inside was nice and cozy wrapped in foam. It is super easy to set up. The programs are awesome. I love working out along with the trainer and seeing my progress instantly. The machine even counts reps for you, so you don't have to remember where you are at. I think the bluetooth ring is great. Only connection drops are when you don't activate it for an extended time then it powers off to save battery I guess. Never had a random drop. It is a great space saver. I can do everything I used to do at the gym and more, and I don't have to wait for people to stop looking at their phones to finish on a machine! Price was great for what you get, and I love the fact that there are no subscriptions at all unless you want them. Thanks Speediance for getting me back in shape!

I was worried based on other reviews that I would receive my machine on the scheduled date or that the incline bench would be missing. Luckily, neither of those things were anything to be worried about! The incline bench came in the same box as the Gym Monster and on the day that was scheduled. The delivery drivers weren't super prepared for the delivery and I did have to help them to get it up my front steps and into my entryway. It is VERY heavy (over 200lbs) but once you open the box and take the bench and accessories out, it's easy to stand upright. The machine itself is great and I love how compact and mobile it is. It was the main selling point for me when comparing it to similar systems. The machine is quiet and is perfect for apartment dwellers. So far the workouts have been great but I would say to just try light weights when first using the straps because 40lbs on a traditional machine is not the same on the gym monster! I almost strung myself up on my first go-round. The safety/assist features are amazing but I wish there was a way to set it globally. It seems that I have to turn it on each time I work out and sometimes I forget. I also wish the yoga mat stayed on the platform when folded (you can see in my photo what happens to it) and one of the magnets already peeled off the mat. Overall I am so excited about this machine and I think it'll help me stay consistent -- I have social anxiety so going to the gym is difficult and I don't always want to lift my bowflex weights up and down. This gives great variety to routines and the lifetime membership and classes alone are worth it!

I spent a lot of time debating between the Speediance Gym Monster, AEKE, and Tonal. Speediance ultimately won me over for two reasons: zero monthly fees for guided workouts and no requirement to drill into my walls. Compared to the AEKE, this machine is far more versatile because it includes high mounting points for exercises like lat pull-downs and tricep extensions, which the AEKE lacks. Compared to Tonal, the base mounting points allow for a much more natural feel during squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. The community matters. I joined the facebook groups for each machine prior to buying. AEKE's is small, I wish them the best and further group. Tonal is the OG with tens of thousands of members. But Speediance has just about half of Tonal's members and I got a lot of tips on GM1 vs GM2 and third party attachments before I purchased. Recommended accessories from my perspective: The Bench & Screen: I 100% recommend the adjustable bench - it opens up so much variety. Also, the screen tilt feature is a small detail that makes a massive difference when you're mid-set - don't spend extra on the Max screen (I think you can only get it direct from Speediance) Bluetooth handles: As a middle-aged lifter, digital weight is a revelation. Using the Bluetooth handles, I can get perfectly braced and in position before "turning on" the weight. It saves my joints and makes me feel safe pushing heavy loads alone. I also bought a third party wireless foot pedal. The included finger control ring I use from time to time. Great for Beginners: My wife, who was always intimidated by traditional barbells, now works out independently. I designed custom workouts for her, and she just follows the on-screen prompts. We also love the "Partner Lift" function for working out together. The 220 lb Limit: I initially worried 220 lbs wouldn't be enough, but digital tension feels heavier than iron. By focusing on unilateral movements to fix imbalances and protect my joints, I’ve found it’s more than enough. Again I'm a middle aged lifter. Young powerlifters, you may be looking at products like the Voltra. Overall Verdict: It’s not quite as polished as Tonal, but it’s incredibly close. When you factor in the lack of a need for a high cost $60/month subscription, it’s a no-brainer. They do have Wellness+ which I believe runs only $200ish a year, but I haven't explored it myself. This has been an awesome machine that has brought me back to regular strength training. It's been great to roll downstairs and get to working out rather than driving to the gym.

The Speedince gym monster is pretty cool but it's so slow to load programs you almost have to wait sometimes 5 minutes and it's cumbersome to constantly be moving the different attachments to be able to do the different workouts I spent probably 15 years at the gym regularly with different machines you could just switch to and I had my own home gym and I thought this would be a big improvement and so far I don't use it very much because it's just too slow and there's so many options and I've tried using the AI to design a workout so far it hasn't come up with any of that really work for me

Nice quality unit. Set up easy. Takes a little getting used to the features but unless you are a pro bodybuilder I think it's great space savor for most and hits all the needed muscle groups

This is a great home gym. I love this thing and use it probably a few times a week. I bought specifically for the days when I can't make it to the gym or don't want to go during 5 o clock crowdedness. It does exactly what I need it to do. I play my music through the bluetooth (a little muffled but I didn't buy this expecting it to be the world's greatest speaker). You can definitely get a great workout in on this machine and it has a ton of different variations for the weight like chains to switch up the weight for the bottom to the top of the lift and a few other options I'm.not remembering (I mostly use the chain function for overload and burnout reps). Anyway, great machine I love it.

I was so on the fence between this machine and Tonal. I am glad I made the decision to go with the lesser known company. This machine has replaced my free weights for the most part and gives me options to perform hundreds of movements. You can create completely custom workouts or use one of the pre-made programs. The strength assessment gives you a baseline for your current strength and AI can increase weights as your strength increases. Great for those of us who want to keep track of our progress. The machine has a small footprint and can fit in most any space. Just give it s try! You will not regret it.

Overall very cool and advanced piece of equipment. One of the cable snapped on my third use because I let one of the handles down too fast and when it hit the pulley it caused it to snap. I was able to fix it without a replacement, but one cable is a few inches shorter than the other. It doesn’t matter because it would never be pulled out that far. My only two gripes are, I wish the cables were made out of steel instead of like a nylon cord and the Bluetooth finger remote is a little difficult to use and is absolutely required. Therefore, if the battery dies in the middle of your workout, your workout is essentially done. I also worry about long-term reliability of this machine. It is tremendously expensive and at the end of the day it is a computer, something that makes me nervous. With all that said, the resistance is good and you can definitely get a full workout in using this machine. It’s also amazing when it comes to space savings. I also bought a TRX and a pair of adjustable dumbbells. Buying a second bench would help to jump between exercises more quickly. I’m very advanced with lifting/training and I’ve been a certified personal trainer since 2009. In my opinion, this machine would be fine for the majority of people. For me, it’s a great supplement and works great when I don’t have enough time to get to the gym.

I never enjoyed working out, I never could be bothered to go to a gym. In our 40s, so before it’s too late my partner and I have a reason to get in shape, for our health, helping keep each other accountable, doing our own work outs, our own weight. We’re getting stronger and feel good. Takes up minimal space, minimal inconvenience,

Ich nutze das Speediance Home Gym jetzt seit 1.5 Jahren ca. fast täglich und bin restlos begeistert. Es ist wirklich das mit Abstand beste Gerät, das ich je in meinem Homegym hatte. Ich war so überzeugt, dass ich alle meine anderen Fitnessgeräte verkauft habe – bis auf ein Springseil und einen EPS-Roller, die ich ab und zu noch ergänzend nutze. Das Speediance eignet sich perfekt für ein effektives Ganzkörpertraining. Egal ob Oberkörper, Beine oder Core – ich kann alle Muskelgruppen damit abdecken. Für mich war es die beste Investition, gerade weil ich mit Kindern und Familie oft keine Zeit habe, ins Fitnessstudio zu fahren. So kann ich flexibel mal untertags oder abends in den Keller gehen und trainieren, ohne viel Zeit zu verlieren. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt: Das Gerät braucht wirklich extrem wenig Platz. Es lässt sich auch problemlos im Wohnzimmer aufstellen, ohne dass es den Raum stört. Für alle, die zuhause effizient und platzsparend trainieren wollen, kann ich das Speediance uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

Having a 4 month old made it hard to dedicate time to working out as the gym is 20 minutes away. As I started to look into home gym solutions, I kept coming back to the Speediance Gym Monster. I’m someone that does more research than needed on any substantial purchase, and I had my hopes set on the Gym Monster. A little skeptical at first, until the Gym Monster arrived. I was like a kid at Christmas opening and setting up the equipment (which was extremely easy). Since then, i haven’t looked back. Been working out 2 or 3 times a week. It’s been phenomenal. Exceeding expectations is hard to come by these days with any purchase.

This is an excellent solution for home training. But I can't find how to change the speaker volume. Any ideas?

I'm so excited to start my new journey with my Gym Monster! I received it a day earlier than expected so that was a nice surprise. This machine is very heavy so make sure you have people with muscles there when it arrives. Literally you just unpack the box, plug it in and it's ready to go. I'm amazed at all the details Speediance has thought of for this machine. Once you turn it on the screen will walk you through putting in all your information. Then all you have to do is start using it. I really feel if 220lbs and below is all you'll need for your training, no other gym equipment is needed. Best purchase ever!
