Are you interested in what distinguishes Speediance smart home gyms from each other? Let's compare the first Speediance Gym Monster released on the market with its successors, the Speediance Gym Monster 2 and the Speediance Gym Monster 2S. And we'll start right from the beginning.
1. Weight and handling
- Delivery – We deliver the Speediance Gym Monster to you on a large pallet. Those of you who choose standard shipping by contract carrier should expect a heavier and bulkier shipment. Once you get your home gym, setting it up is literally a breeze. Just unbox and plug it in. The only assembly required is four screws for the bench. The models do not differ in this respect.
- Weight – The first generation Speediance Gym Monster weighs 85 kg. The Speediance Gym Monster 2 is 7 kg lighter than the original model, weighing 78 kg. The new 2S has gained weight to 82 kg.
- Handling – A significant improvement in both newer models are the wheels. Their width has increased from 12 mm to 20 mm, which significantly facilitates moving the gym.
2. What can the Speediance Gym Monster actually do?
The essence of all Speediance Gym Monster smart gym models is an electro-synchronous motor with permanent magnets generating digital weights. You work out without having to use physical weights. You control everything using a large touch screen, Smart handles, or a Bluetooth ring.
Weights – and here we have the first fundamental difference. The first generation Speediance Gym Monster and the second model Speediance Gym Monster 2 offer resistance up to 100 kg. The Speediance Gym Monster 2S offers 20% higher resistance, i.e., up to 120 kg. And that could be a decisive factor for advanced users.
Gym Versatility – with a secure snap-in system, improved in the S2 model, you can attach various handles. Barbell, triceps rope, handles, or ski handles. You can choose from over 450 exercises from the uploaded library. You can fully use the AI trainer, create your own workouts, or use the Free Lift mode for complete freedom in exercising. You can do strength training, cardio training, and even rehabilitation.
3. Key improvements in models 2 and 2S
· Operating noise – Speediance Gym Monster 2 and S2 models have improved air intakes to the motor, an added fan, and the motor itself is more efficient. The result of this innovation is significantly lower operating noise and better heat dissipation. The manufacturer reports 20% higher energy efficiency.
· Audio system difference – The original version of the Speediance Gym Monster home gym has two 10W speakers. The Gym Monster 2 and 2S models boast a 2.1 audio system with a subwoofer. The difference might seem insignificant to some, but navigation instructions are much clearer and more intelligible, and music production is of a completely different quality.
· Compactness and stability – The Gym Monster 2S home gym has a slimmer profile when folded than the original Gym Monster. If you intentionally shake the newer S2 in its folded state, it appears somewhat less stable. When used in its unfolded state, the 2S is as stable as its sister variants. The Gym Monster 2 is the most compact of the entire range.
4. Other differences
· Training platform – The levers for releasing the platform in models 2 and 2S are recessed, preventing any rope snagging. The 2S model is additionally equipped with "soft opening." This means that the platform smoothly lowers at the press of a button, and its lifting is also noticeably more comfortable and smoother.
· Ergonomics – The upper attachment point in models 2 and 2S is 2 cm higher, which will be appreciated by taller users. Both newer Gym Monster models offer special mid-height settings optimized for rowing.
· The platform mat has new placement markings. The 21.5" screen remains, but is powered by a newer chip. In Speediance Gym Monster 2 and 2S models with 128GB storage compared to 64GB storage in the 1st generation Gym Monster. These innovations ensure smoother performance and readiness for future updates.
5. Speediance Software and Usage
- Speediance home gym users have access to over 450 exercises with filters for muscle groups or accessories. Video tutorials with real trainers providing audio tips for exercise execution are absolutely invaluable for beginners. This opens the door for Speediance Gym Monster to users who are absolute beginners in strength training, users who need to reduce weight, firm up their bodies, sculpt their physique, maintain fitness, but also for those who need rehabilitation after injury or illness.
- Speediance also provides advanced modes. The free lift mode allows settings such as eccentric overload (more weight during the lowering phase) and chain mode (weight increases as you lift, simulating a chain).
- Safety assistant – AI safety features can automatically reduce weight if they detect imbalance or failure. Every exercise is digitally monitored and recorded in a training log. When paired with a heart rate monitor, it also records and stores cardio data.
- User comfort – The refined mechanics of the Gym Monster 2S model are noticeable. When you add quieter operation and premium craftsmanship, it comes out on top in terms of user experience.
6. Final summary of the comparison
- If price is the deciding factor for you, choose the first variant, the Speediance Gym Monster. The 100 kg digital resistance is sufficient, and you get a quality smart home gym with a full range of workout plans and usage options.
- Do you prefer an improved design, the latest chip, and quality sound? Is weight, compactness, and ease of handling crucial for you, while you don't need an additional 20 kg of resistance? Then choose the Speediance Gym Monster 2.
- Do you want maximum resistance of 120 kg, absolutely the smoothest and quietest operation, a premium quiet opening mechanism, and are you willing to invest in the top tier? Then we have the Speediance Gym Monster 2S ready for you.
