DISCLAIMER: I’m not affiliated with Speediance in any way, nor am I being paid for this review. After two months of owning the machine and working out every single day, I wanted to give an in-depth overview of my experience as this has honestly been the best purchase for my health I’ve ever made and so far has exceeded all expectations. IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE, BUY THIS MACHINE IF YOU ARE ON THE FENCE!

FITNESS HISTORY: I’ll be 40 this year, and have been in and out of every gym imaginable over the past 15 years. I’ve primarily worked out with free weights the entire time, with a few months of Orange Theory, Crossfit, F45 thrown in. Although I’m fairly fit and active, consistency has always been an issue for me. I’ll go 12-18 months getting in amazing shape, take a 2 week vacation or get sick, then go 6 months sliding backwards until I repeat the cycle all over again.

ALTERNATIVES: Before purchasing the Speediance, I was dead set on getting a Tonal after trying one out in a local mall. Unfortunately since I live in a Condo, I couldn’t risk the noise that travels through the walls which IS a major issue if you research the Facebook / Reddit groups that talk about this. With that in mind, I was debating between Speediance, Vitruvian, and Oxefit as free standing solution. I chose Speediance since it was extremely compact compared to the Oxefit (which shouldn’t be a part of any home gym unless you have a huge house), and the Vitruvian only allowed for exercises from the floor (the stand accessory was canceled last year due to lack of demand).

POSITIVES: The Speediance honestly blew me away when I first received it and the build quality is much better than I was expecting after reading some complaints on the FB groups & Reddit.

• Size: The Speediance is extremely compact and looks amazing next to my Peleton. It literally takes up around the same amount of floor space as my Powerblock Dumbbell stand. If you live in an apartment or condo, you can put this thing nearly anywhere and barely notice it once the platform is up.

• Price / Subscription: I’m lucky enough in my career where price wasn’t a determining factor in deciding between which smart gym to purchase. With that said, Speediance can’t be beat if you purchase now with the free lifetime subscription, and there’s no world where I could ever recommend purchasing a tonal at 2x the upfront cost + $750/yr in subscription fees. It honestly feels like a steal.

• Cables vs Free Weights: I’ve done a lot of barbell/dumbell work in my day, but honestly rarely use cable machines outside of facepulls / lat pulldowns / tricep work. I was expecting this to feel like a Bowflex which is my only real experience with cable resistance, but it’s nothing like that. The best way to explain it as it’s like free weights on steroids and you can feel all the stabilizer muscles working. Bench presses, squats, deadlifts etc all feel much better to me than traditional free weights.

• 220lb Resistance: I’m not a powerlifter or a large guy, but am strong for my size (5’7). My 1RM for barbell work is 180lb Bench, 220lb Squat, 240lb Deadlift. Originally I was worried that I would max out this machine fairly quickly for certain movements, but the cable resistance has humbled me. When I did my first strength assessment each lift was easily 25%+ less than what I can do with free weights, aka unless you are a huge power lifter you aren’t going to max out this machine.

• Variety of Movements: With free weights I will normally stick to the standard compound lifts and the accessory exercises I’ve always known. The huge array of different movements built into the software + instructions on how to perform them has really opened my eyes on how much I was limiting myself. Workouts are never boring now, and I think this is one of the biggest things motivating me to use this every day.

• Screen Tilt: This is absolutely huge and allows you to look at the screen for almost every movement. IE when I do a bench press, I can tilt the screen 90 degrees and see every rep, power, etc. This is a small thing, but makes a big difference when working out which no other machine does to my knowledge.

CONS: There’s truly very few cons I’ve found with the Speediance.

• Accessories: This is honestly the only area where Speediance feels “cheap”, and I’m a little baffled at what they try to sell some of the accessories for (IE Handles). I’m including a section on all my top recommended third-party accessories I recommend, and a few accessories I think you should buy through Speediance.

• Cable Burn: Without the cable extenders, some exercises will give you major cable burn causing you to never do them. Again, this is solvable with the Cable Extender accessory… INCLUDE IT WITH EVERY PURCHASE.

TLDR; I had much more to say but I’ve hit the character limit for a review. Buy the machine!

This machine is AMAZING! Its transforming my life.

First off, this is easily moveable to just about anywhere in your home, with such a small footprint. Extremely easy to setup and just “get going”!!

Since I started using this, I have actually increased my workout times from 60 minutes a day to 180 minutes per day. Why, you ask? When I used to go to the gym, it was get in and get out as fast as I can. Same routine, same exercises, waiting for machine(s), etc. ZZZZZ, boring and easy to find a reason not to go, or like I said, get in and get out.

This machine offers essentially a personal trainer built in, with so many exercises to choose from, ones I had never even thought about with my current routine. If considering purchasing, what are you paying for a personal trainer now?

Another feature that has helped me tremendously is the range of motion it shows when performing the exercise. I tore my rotator cuff awhile back and have been slowly exercising it back up to snuff. I realized just how much I was overcompensating my exercises to one side upon performing them. I am now able to even out the movements to help build up the strength on the “lame” side again. This alone is extremely valuable, in my case.

It is so easy to quickly switch between different exercises and muscle groups. Being able to customize my daily workouts, tracking amount of calories and time spent on a daily, weekly, monthly basis…you really cant go worng with this purchase!!! Did I mention ALL of these features are INCLUDED IN THE PRICE! I so enjoy using this machine, its almost, dare I say “fun” to workout now. Ask yourself this, when is the last time you went to the gym, came home and sometime during your day, you had extra time and said “hey” maybe I’ll go back to the gym and get another short workout in? Uhh NEVER! With the convenience of this machine at home, I find myself firing it back up again and getting another few sets in.

I cant thank Speediance enough for literally having an impact on my overall well being. I hope that there may be an opportunity for an upgrade path to the version 2 or even in future, version 3 of this fantastic, well made, piece of equipment. If this is ever an option, count me in! I’m just not sure how they can make it any better…..

EDIT: A follow up to my review, after a couple of months use….BUYER BEWARE. The support is DREADFUL. My bench came cracked. Ive been waiting 2 months already for a replacement and NOTHING has been done about it. Now, the left side cable ball that hold the attachment(s), will not release what is connected to it. Currently thats the tricep rope. So, that side is rendered useless unless I only do exercises with the rope. That means no chest, etc. The support just ignores you. So you are pretty much at the whim of the non-existent support. Completely unacceptable for a $4000 + machine.

Es un producto muy fácil de usar, muy robusto y además proporciona resultados muy satisfactorios. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que quiera tener un gimnasio en casa.
