There’s no shortage of home gym equipment out there if you want to do weight training from the comfort of your own abode. If you want equipment that maximizes limited space while offering the benefits of AI coaching, you might want to check out the Speediance Gym Monster 3.
Billed as a next-gen all-in-one smart home gym, the equipment is designed to provide the same functions as traditional gym equipment, all while taking up a limited amount of floor space. Seriously, you keep this thing in a corner of the room and just gave it sit there full time, allowing you to put in a workout any time without making a mess.
The Speediance Gym Monster 3, basically, looks like one of those foldable treadmills when collapsed. That means, you can fold it up and push it against the wall to keep it out of the way when not in use. When unfolded, it gives you a raised platform where you’re meant to do your workouts, which is connected to a freestanding frame with a 23.8-inch touchscreen on top. Instead of using weight stacks, plates, or pneumatic resistance like many home workout equipment, it relies on a motor-driven digital resistance, so you’ve literally got an electric-powered machine fighting against you as you perform your exercises.
Specifically, it uses two 800W motors, which combine to produce up to 220 pounds of total resistance with one-pound increment adjustments. Sure, that’s not the kind of weight that will satisfy a bodybuilder’s needs, but it should be sufficient for most people just looking to get fit. It’s cable-based, with two sets of cables installed on the machine. The first set is on the platform itself for exercises with resistance coming from the bottom. You can use it to attach the handles to perform dumbbell exercises or the bar for barbell exercises. They also offer an optional adjustable bench, so you can do bench presses, seated military presses, and more.
The Speediance Gym Monster 3 also comes with cables on the frame itself, which functions more like traditional cable machine. The frame offers 19 different heigh placements for the cables, so you can set up different exercises to their exact angle requirements. Aside from the handles and the bar, it also comes with a rope and ankle straps, giving you plenty of options in available exercises. They also offer an optional Aerow bench, so you can turn it into a rowing machine.
Not only can you adjust the settings by tapping on the touchscreen, it also has voice control (so you can tell it to lower resistance when it gets too heavy in the middle of a lift) and a Bluetooth control ring that lets you control it using gestures, There’s a ton of smart features here, such as an automated spotter (automatically reduces resistance when it detects you struggling), imbalance protection, real-time tracking, AI-based adaptive training plans, and even an AI nutrition guidance. Other features include built-in 10W stereo speakers with a 20W subwoofer, an ambient light strip to help get you in the mood with lighting, and a total space coverage of just 9-square feet. For those who need more resistance, they also offer a 3S version that goes up to 260 pounds.
The Speediance Gym Monster 3 is available now, priced starting at $4,099.
