Speediance Gym Monster 2

Hello, We are really excited about the device. We live in Germany, and shipping was super fast. The device was set up super quickly, and setting up the app worked well too. The handle got stuck right away, and we were desperate because the device comes from China and there's no German support. There was no response to our email to support, but we joined the Facebook group, and support responded super quickly. We were then sent a new rope with a handle, and we could start training 😃 We are both incredibly excited about the application and the concept. Everything fits into such a small space, great! Unfortunately, the ring let us down and keeps losing/losing connection to the device. But we were quickly helped with that, too; the new ring is already at the post office and will be delivered tomorrow. Contrary to all expectations, the customer service is perfect. You just need to be able to speak English or use the translation program on your phone. We personally think it was a very good purchase, despite one or two initial issues. The only thing that matters is that the service is good. And it works perfectly! We can 100% recommend the Speediance Gym Monster.

A fantastic training device with completely new possibilities. I'm a fitness trainer and have been training for three-quarters of my life, and the GM2 has pleasantly surprised me for the first time in a long time. Chain sets, negative sets, etc. are simply impossible to do under normal circumstances and on my own. The multitude of functions and apps is a bit overwhelming at first, but it also makes the whole thing exciting. The hardware is excellently built; both visually and haptically, everything is worth the money. I'm still "onboarding" the software, so I can't give a final verdict yet. The resistance runs super smoothly, and everything can be quickly configured (accessories, pulley position, incline bench, rowing machine, etc.). So far, no complaints, except for the delivery – the pallet weighed 180 kg and was simply dumped in your yard, without an appointment, no prior call, just an email "will be delivered soon" – and even with the delivery driver, we couldn't carry the main unit, which weighed over 80 kg, up to the second floor (unpacked) because all the weight is in the lower part (where the motors are located). SO: three people, and then it works :-) . Update will follow if necessary. By the way: Delivery was rather TOO fast for me; after a few days, EVERYTHING (nothing was missing!) was perfectly packaged and undamaged in my yard, much sooner than expected. TYPE: GmyMonster2 Family

Absolutely love this GymMonster - worth every single penny! Have been using this in combination with Built With Science program and already seeing results. I'm 57 years old and already in best shape of my life. Getting muscle and definition. Have this set up in a small workout room and love the space-saving format and that base folds up so can have floor free for stretching and other exercises. I also looked at the Tonal and this won hands down after I did my research - costs less, lifetime membership and easily moved if needed versus being semi-permanently bolted to a wall. They update software on regular basis so constantly improving it based on user feedback. 5 STARS and very pleased!

Super easy setup. Works great as expected, but 2 problems: 1) Apple music is playing but I cannot control it and 2) the bluetooth ring lost its connection.

Great home trainer! We train regularly. The courses are very good and tailored to personal preferences. The GymMonster is of high quality and offers countless exercises. Perfect

A story of two tales After a severe heart attack and subsequent surgeries I needed to improve my cardio and strength and joined a gym. However, I wanted the ease and efficieny of having something also at home and found a couple of things. I got a Walking Pad X218 foldable treadmill that arrived promptly. A great product that I use every morning. On the Speediance EU site I then purchased a GM2. However, I was then informed it would take months to get a delivery as a current batch was not available. My rehab couldn’t wait and tried to cancel. At first it was a very difficult and cumbersome process where Speediance tried to ignore my wishes. Finally, when the matter had been escalated and I indeed was allowed to cancel, Speediance wanted to charge several hundred Euros in fees, merchant fees they called it, without presenting any proof of costs on their side. This was unacceptable of course and as I had paid via Klarna I contacted them. They said there were no such fees and sorted all this out with Speediance in no time, kudos to Klarna. Somehow I then managed to find a German site through speediance.com. I speak German so no problem. They also surprisingly seemed to be able to deliver a GM2 Family Plus almost right away so I proceeded with a new order still expecting the same result as before. However, they promptly sorted out my order and it arrived a couple of weeks ago. Everything was there including the adjustable bench and the rower too. The packaging was probably the best I have seen, ever, as everything was so well protected. It was heavy though, 191 kg alltogether according to DHL, and no carry service available. And it is still early days but the GM2 seems to be everything it promised to be. So sleek and space saving and providing me with everything I need for both cardio and strength. The screen and sound system are great as are the programs.

The GymMonster 2 is the ideal fitness center for the home, even for taller people (1.9 m). I have now tested it intensively for 3 months. I recommend at least Works Plus because of the adjustable bench. Overall, there are many positive features, hence the 5 stars. Some examples - The device is stable even with higher weights. Overall, the device and the accessories make a good impression. A lot of things are very well thought out. - With normal accessories for a cable pull, you can easily expand the device to include many other exercises. - The option to pair it with the Apple Watch is very practical. - With simple magnetic hooks, you can also attach the accessories to the device (see picture). - The videos of the exercises are practical. - (So far) no paid subscriptions. Everything can be used without restrictions. What could be better - Even after the update, there are frequent problems with pairing with the ring. Sometimes the connection between the device and the Apple Watch also gets stuck. Positive: there are constant updates, so hopefully things will get better. - There is no option to pair the device with headphones or speakers. Music via the device itself is not as good. However, the announcements and system sounds are clear and loud - I now use English as the system language because the translation into German sometimes didn't work - Even new exercises with your own accessories are not easy to add - With free weights, it would be helpful if the time continued to run normally like with other exercises. Unfortunately, it always stops, which makes it more difficult to take appropriate breaks. - You have to be a little careful when adjusting the holders for the accessories. If the device is off, it can jerk afterwards. Apparently the rope wasn't rolled up properly. Fortunately, it went away again. - There could be more information (e.g. with videos) on how to do the exercise correctly. There are video instructions and descriptions, but they don't cover some important techniques. - The customer service could be improved, as others have already written.

This has been the best purchace. it fits into a small foot print. You do not need a lot of equipment for the same workouts as being in a large gym. Over the last couple of months i have been less prone to injury because it spots you and you can immediately unload weight. I love that it is detachable from the wall so you are not risking damage to your house frame. My favorite part is that it is so much simpler to progressive over load because you can increase weight by small increments. I use this machine 4 days a week and look forward to it because of its convenience!

A really great device with individual training plans and settings and you can leave it in a small space when not in use.

As an engineer I appreciate the great design - packaging, solid and high quality design, ease of setup (<15 min, no tools), safety features, broad scope of software, and continuous improvement (e.g. blog, FB). Space efficient standalone design is great as is the lifetime membership- way to disrupt the home fitness category that typically overcharges customers. Software is easy to use - very detailed, so looking forward to creating a customized training plan. Free lift has been a great start to experience the many options, all being smooth and safe (e.g. barbell clamp for finger bt, assist mode). Great system- you WILL NOT be disappointed :).
