The Reason Why You Need a Smart Home Gym

Have you ever thought of ditching the gym membership and building a home gym in your house? Save all the commute of a car or public transit ride to the gym, and make staying socially distant much easier. When we discussed the idea of a home gym, a picture came to mind of a space full of bulky machines and weights, laying around the floor disorganised and messy, leaving no room for your feet to land.

However, in the post-epidemic era, the rapid development of smart home gym equipment has changed how people think about home gyms, making at-home training more simple, convenient and efficient. Now you are looking for smart home gym equipment for your home? Here is what you need to know.

What is smart home gym equipment?

At-home workout equipment is much smarter and smaller than traditional kit, with a host of advanced technologies in use, such as digital weight, 3D sensors, a large touch screen, data collection, third-party app and device linkage, voice assistant, intelligent algorithms and a workout library. All these functions, benefits and intelligence elements integrate into one compact, sleek machine.

From mirrors, high-tech bikes and rowers to all-in-one workout machines, these smart home gyms stream live or on-demand classes, track your reps and body stats, and suggest real-time weight adjustments and form corrections, just like there is a world-class trainer in your living room.

Smart home gym equipment has played an essential role in the changing landscape of the home gym as people realise its sheer convenience: saving you time, tracking your training, and making your workouts more versatile.

The benefits of smart home gyms

• Time-saving: One of the best things about having smart home-gym equipment is saving your time, with access available 24 hours a day. You can work out any time you like, with no need to be vexed by traffic or nasty weather, and none of the long commutes or waiting for equipment to become available.
• Scheduling convenience: Exercising on home gym equipment, you can fit workouts around your own schedule, make choices based on your goals, and be in the comfort of your private home environment.
• Versatility: If you want full-body muscle training but only have limited space for a handful of cumbersome machines, a smart home gym with an all-in-one design can help solve the problem. With just a single device, you will get what you want.
• Cost-effective: When you invest in smart fitness equipment, you save money on fuel or tolls on the way to the gym, plus the cost of a gym membership.
• Pro-level guidance: Live and on-demand classes provide expert-level coaching across many training categories, like strength training, building muscle, shaping, weight gain and cardio, saving you from scrambling to work out what to do today.
• Space-saving: Smart gyms do not need a bunch of machines to achieve full-body training, so they take up less space. Some are foldable and only take up the area of a chair.

Training at home asks you to fight the procrastination and instant-gratification monkey hiding in your heart. Still, smart home gym equipment makes it easier to stick to your workout routine and stay more motivated. It can provide at-home workouts across all categories, curate workouts and plans for your schedule, track your performance, and adapt to keep up with your fitness gains, which creates an immersive vibe for at-home training.

Why Speediance stands out from all these options

Speediance is a compact smart home gym with an all-in-one design and a foldable platform, which not only saves space but also makes storage easy. With up to 100 kg of digital weight and two adjustable pulleys, it creates versatility and integrates all the benefits of a gym or fitness studio into one sleek device.

Stable digital weight

What makes Speediance stand out from other gyms in the same category is its digital weight, coming from our cutting-edge Direct Drive Technology, which means the motor is coupled directly to the load. This increases the precision and stability of the load output. Eliminating the use of a transmission or gearbox also grants high durability, quiet operation and a very high system lifetime.

The direct-drive motor, in the form of two cable pulleys, offers a maximum resistance of 100 kg. Each cable has a maximum weight of 50 kg and operates on a 1:1 ratio. You can adjust the weight as precisely as 0.5 kg at the touch of a button on the screen.

One machine equals one gym

The most ingenious design of the Speediance Gym Monster is the all-in-one structure. With two adjustable pulleys, it transforms this single machine into a rower, ski machine, Smith machine, cable machine, adjustable dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells and weight plates, which basically fits all of the necessary equipment into one room. Instead of going to the gym, the versatility allows you to achieve the Big 3 (squat, press and deadlift) plus full-body training at home.

4+1 dynamic weight mode

Speediance tracks your speed, resistance and force, so it can tell when you are struggling, when you need to push yourself harder, and when you are stronger than ever. It will temporarily help you reduce the weight when you feel sluggish (Spotter Mode); it can isolate the phase of movement and progressively add weight as you approach the top of the motion (Chains Mode) or during the negative portion (Eccentric Mode); it can also set a constant speed for you throughout the movement (Constant Mode); and if you do not feel like the dynamic weight, you can try Standard Mode.

Your personal trainer

It has a well-organised movement library with various categories, including Gain Strength, HIIT, Bodyweight, Shaping, Cardio, Sport-Specific, Stretch, Quick-Fit and the specially designed Rehab Training, co-developed with the European rehabilitation centre Dr Bubnovska Centrs. With all this diversity, you are unlikely to run out of options.

In addition, all the movements and workouts are categorised by experience level, target muscles and intensity. Weekly and monthly programmes are well curated, saving you from struggling with what to do, and you can also customise a workout template for your specific goals.

Speediance is like a 24-hour on-call personal trainer in your home, assessing your strength, selecting your weights, recommending home workouts and programmes that fit your goal, tracking your reps and sets, and helping you crush your goals in a smarter way.

Smart home gym that needs no assembly

Speediance itself does not require any assembly, and it arrives at your home in a folded condition. So when you receive the package, no drill, wall mounting or complex assembly is required: just unbox your equipment and you are free to go (aside from the weight bench and optional rowing bench). When you move into a new home, fold it, pack it and take it with you.

When folded, it takes up hardly any space, just 0.3 m². If you are worried about it occupying much more room when fully and properly working out in your area, 0.9 m² is enough for all the movements. A set of wheels on the base makes storage a breeze.

What did customers say about Speediance?

"I was in the middle of a high volume program when Speediance arrived and I've transferred it over seamlessly. I have to say hats off to the team, for a brand new product, fresh out of the box, and essentially understanding early adopters are a next level beta test, they've created something excellent. Worth it and worth the wait in my opinion."

Michael Epsenhart

"I had owned a lot of smart gym equipment but I can say this is definitely far better than them. It is portable, strong and durable. I can use my own incline bench, my own attachment as I was given 4 attachment clips. The after-sale support was fast and excellent. The set up was easy and, most important, I cut my training time by at least 50% and reach failure faster. This is my favourite equipment, even if it cost me a fortune I would still buy it."

Nicholas

"The adjustable pulleys alone were a huge reason to buy. The interface is very nice and user friendly. It's actually larger than I thought based on other pictures. It seems well built, and I am happy with my investment."

Kade McBride

"The handles move nice and smooth in and out of the channel; if you're not aware it releases and then goes down to the channel, so you could do squats and curls etc. The rest of the mechanisms move nicely up and down just like you would expect in good quality gym equipment."

Steven Ng

"Display flips: when doing bench press, with 180 degree screen flipping and graphics as well. Speediance Quick Pointer (able to move to any side): easy access for display light, volume, Bluetooth, Sleep Mode, Wifi, Logout (switch account)."
