It’s no secret that AI technology has brought great advances to many industries, and the fitness industry is no exception. The new Speediance Gym Monster uses electromagnetic force via two cable pulleys to create up to 220 pounds of resistance. This unique technology helps stimulate real resistance in your muscles, equating to muscle gains, without the need for actual weight stacks at home.
With its collapsible design and easy-to-use interface, we decided to put this machine to the test to see how much you can really do with one gym machine. Below, we’ll detail what you can expect from the Speediance Gym Monster and how you can use it to get the best workout possible.
Speedience Gym Monster Options
Speedience / Speedience
Speediance Gym Monster has a variety of purchasing options, and each package includes different equipment. Which option you choose depends on your specific workout needs and preferences.
the work
The baseline model, called “The Works,” is the least expensive of the package and comes with a variety of accessories, including a 21.5-inch touch screen, flat bench, adjustable barbell, yoga mat, and triceps pushdown rope. I am. This option is a great introductory model for understanding the basics of Speediance Gym Monster. It only comes with a flat bench, so we recommend this option for those who don’t plan on doing any exercises that require an adjustable bench. Additional accessories and equipment can always be purchased later directly from the site.
works plus
A step up from the Works model, the Works Plus features an adjustable incline bench instead of a flat bench. Upgrading to an incline bench will allow you to perform a variety of other exercises that are especially useful for training your chest. For example, the adjustable bench option allows you to do a flat bench press or an incline bench press. This package includes all the same exercises as The Works option.
family
For rowers and exercisers looking to build a strong back, the Family Option may be a package worth considering. In addition to everything that comes with Works Plus, the family package also includes a Speediance Rowing Bench. With its adjustable seat, this bench is sure to come in handy for a variety of rowing exercises to strengthen your mid-back. This package comes with a flat bench and a rowing bench.
family plus
Above the Family model is the “Family Plus” package, which is nearly identical except it has an adjustable incline bench instead of a flat bench. Again, choosing this option depends on how often you use the bench on different slopes. I tried Family Plus.
works plus max
Works Plus Max is the first option that offers a larger screen. Instead of the standard 21.5-inch touch screen, this model features an extra-large 32-inch touch screen for a more vivid experience. This package includes everything in Works Plus and adds a larger touch screen.
family plus max
Finally, Family Plus Max is an upgraded version of Family Plus. It also features a larger 32-inch touch screen and the addition of an included rowing bench.
Arrival, unpacking and assembly
Emily Caldwell / The Manual
My first experience upon receiving the Speediance Gym Monster was smooth and simple. Due to the weight and size of this package, it is expected that it will be delivered by freight. My box came in three boxes (one for the Gym Monster itself, one for the rowing bench, and one for the adjustable incline bench). Due to large packages, the shipping company may call you to set up a delivery time frame.
All items were packaged very well to prevent damage. Unpacking was easy. However, it is recommended that you have a second person available to help you unpack and move the Gym Monster device into place. It has wheels on the bottom, so it’s easy to roll, but it’s difficult to stand on your own.
Assembling the Speediance Gym Monster and all its accessories was easy, even for people who aren’t dexterous. The instructions included both demonstration pieces and photos. The device itself comes pre-assembled, but you’ll need to assemble the included bench and accessories. The most time consuming part was assembling the boat bench, which only took about 45 minutes to assemble. If you need more help with assembly, check out the step-by-step assembly videos on the company’s YouTube page.
Use Speedy Enzym Monster

“AI-powered home gym” sounds fancy, but it doesn’t get any easier to use than this device. The menu navigation on the device is clear and intuitive, and I loved it from the moment I started using the product. This home gym doesn’t take as long to master as you might expect. This means you can get right to what matters most: working out. Below are some of the main benefits I felt when using this machine.
Streamlined and compact
The machine may arrive in a heavy box, but once you set it up, it won’t take up as much space as you might think. The bottom footboard easily folds away when not in use, making it ideal for apartments, garages, and small home gym spaces. The parts that take up more space are the benches and boat benches.
versatility
Unlike other home gym equipment that is designed to target only one part of the body, the Speediance Gym Monster offers the versatility most people look for when spending on fitness equipment. With movable pulleys and interchangeable attachments, the training possibilities are endless. With this machine, you can work out every part of your body, from abdominal workouts to arm workouts.
This versatility not only makes this product more cost-effective, but also means you won’t get tired of doing the same thing over and over again. The workout library includes a variety of preset workouts, but also gives you the option to browse hundreds of movements to create your own. Users can also customize their workouts and lift in “free lift mode” if they don’t want to follow the screen.
Exercises available
As I browsed through the countless workouts in my library, I realized how many new exercises there were to learn. For beginners, it’s easy to learn with step-by-step instructions on how to set up and perform each workout. On the other hand, this machine still has a lot to learn, even for those who are not new to strength training.
If you’re stuck with an old-fashioned gym routine made up of the same exercises, Speediance Gym Monster gives you a solid option to step out of your comfort zone and challenge your muscles in new ways. I’ve already learned a variety of new exercises just by exploring the library available on Speediance Gym Monster. Plus, if you’re a model learner, the machine’s screen will show you exactly how to perform each exercise with proper form.
Tips to get the most out of your training

Overall, the features of the Speediance Gym Monster are impressive and versatile. Through a series of trial and errors, I’ve discovered tips for getting the most out of your workouts.
spend time exploring
At first, the number of exercise and training combinations available with Speediance Gym Monster can be a little overwhelming. You’ll want to try them all! I spent several hours browsing the exercise library and learning how to set up each one. We recommend doing this at times other than your designated training times. It can be difficult to jump into a workout routine without planning. If you want to get started right away, you can save time by starting with a class that already includes the exercises you choose. “Freelift” mode is perfect for trying new exercises at your own pace.
Whether it’s Gym Monster or the gym itself, it takes time to learn new gym exercises and become more confident. The more you use Speediance Gym Monster, the better your workout flow will be. Your workouts will be more natural and you’ll spend less time fiddling with attachments and adjustments. If your first workout feels a little “haphazard”, it’s probably because you just need more time to explore. Whether it’s a rainy day or a weekend activity, taking the time to understand your device will make a big difference in your overall workout success.
put on shoes
It may seem obvious, but always wear supportive sneakers when using the Speediance Gym Monster. It’s tempting not to, especially when you’re in the comfort of your own home. You might also think that since you’re not lifting “physical” weights, you can just keep your socks on. However, lifting mechanics and proper form practices still apply. Wearing shoes provides extra support and can help prevent injuries during lifts.
