A runner's four favourite strength moves on a Gym Monster at home: hip extensions, calf raises, split squats and squats.

His four moves, and why runners use them

“Running is basically a whole load of one-legged landings.”

In one 8-week study, distance runners who added heavy half-squats three times a week improved their running economy (Støren and colleagues, 2008).

    How it loads your legs

    Three things make strength work fit a runner's week.

    Drawing of the cable running from the base up the column to the handle
    1. 1Dual 800 W motors in the base
    2. 2Cable runs up the column
    3. 3Carriage sets the height

    Weight without plates

    The motors set the resistance, up to 100 kg, so moving from calf raises to squats takes a tap on the screen. Eccentric mode loads the lowering phase harder.

    Up to 100 kg · dual 800 W motors · Standard, Eccentric, Chain and Fixed Speed

    Increases the resistance as you lower back to the start.

    Owners of earlier Gym Monster models, in their own words

    • I have been using my Speediance Gym Monster for over 4 months and I love it! The variety of exercises is amazing. I use it daily and primarily use the Speediance workouts which have led to great gains in strength and stamina. Of course, the convenience of having this at home makes it easy to stick to a schedule. I have not had any problems/issues with the equipment or software. It's great!

    • This is an amazing piece of equipment for resistance training. It has allowed me to achieve fast gains in both strength and hypertrophy and has completely replaced my gym membership. I highly recommend it.

      Merenda A.

      VerifiedGym Monster owner

    • Machine is great! What is even greater is that it has changed my habits of working out. I used to be lazy about hitting gym, now I'm using Gym Monster every day. With the custom workouts that I created for myself, I can ensure my workout quality and I am able to stick to the routine. It truly saves me a lot of time, very easy to use, and very convenient to workout at any time you like.

    Then keep it short. Two 20-minute sessions a week, at home, with no drive either side. That's the whole commitment.

    100 kg of cable resistance goes a long way on single-leg moves. If you want to squat heavier, Gym Monster 3S goes up to 120 kg.

    The motors put up to 100 kg of resistance on the cable, and you feel it from the first rep. Switch between Standard, Eccentric, Chain and Fixed Speed to change how each rep loads.

    Start with the week above, built from the four moves in the video. The screen also has coach-led courses if you'd rather follow one.
