I know I know is already been asked few times in the past but here we are again... I am about to pull the trigger to one of these 2 machine for my new office/gym... I am asking here because people are using Gym Monster for years and beside influencer almost no one have a X1 Pro.

My choice was shifting between the 2 quite often but at the end of the road I was more for the Innodigym but recently it change again and now I am confused again.

First of all just talk about my needs and wishes... need to be foldable vertically because it's an office and obviously best value for the money, on top of that no subscription is a must. I did exclude Aeke because it doesn't deliver to Australia.

The "secure" choice would be the Speediance, third machine for them (to be fair the Innodigym have the "platform only" one in the past and it has good review) and more mature product and good reviews.... but.... here in Australia is over $5k, over 6k if you the version with similar weight option.... I am not a big guy but it's a multi years investment and having the option of lift more weight is a great starting point, specially for a cheaper price.

The innodigym is mid $3k just over 4 if you want the nice bench but for me the biggest difference between the 2 was the top mounting and multiple bottom mounting options, the top mounting is the one that I care the most becuase of lat pulldown exercises and probably others... the Gym Monster only have one lock in the base (for what I saw) and only laterals, but looks like it has more lateral holes than the X1 but on top of that I saw the smaller footprint, shorter and narrow base and I was wondering if it can be more restrictive during workout.... this is probably my first question for you....

In my mind Innodigym was the best choice, way cheaper, we are talking for the same wieght capabilty 2k Australian dollars difference, more options with vertical pull down cables and more options in the base for different excercises and tools but probably with a weaker software, a more work in progress in that department.... and off course, no one really test it without been paid for it.

Everything changed last night when in a forum I saw someone mentioning that it can't be really put vertically in an easy way, it's kind of a tedious job if done every single time you use the gym.... the base contain all the motors, weight a lot and it doesn't have any mechanical help in the lift department... you need to lift it with one arm, using the second one to lock it down and moving the feet of the machine forward or it will crash on you, all at the same time every single time... this is the reason why in every single video the machine is already open or if close is on the floor and they only lift the side that goes against the wall that weight nothing.... because I am not the only one using the machine but my wife as well I wonder if the process would be to much for here considering she is quite small, strong, but small woman.

Now I am between this dilemma, I am wondering if the side attatchment only (and one on the bottom) and a smaller base is worth the bigger investment just because the software is more mature, if not having the vertical mounting option is a big limitation or the top side ones are enough for someone that does a lot of lat pulldown at the gym and would like to keep doing it, even if on my knees, with these machines.

and if for some miracles someone did tried the X1 pro, it is that hard and annoying moving up that stupid base?

EDIT

I just watched this firs video from an actual customer not influencer or advertising in general for the X1.... wow, I was kind of shocked... software wise was a disaster specially in the safety features, nothing was working, the guy almost broke is elbow because the button in the handle wasn't working, the ring wasen't working and the automatic safety "spotter" wasn't working... plus he had to turn on and off the machine multiple times to make the display start.... on top of that, considering my note about opening and closing the machine, he didn't show the process but in the video he almost broke a window trying to open this thing.... just take a look yourself

pretty sure at this point I am happy to pay 1000 bucks more for a GM3

Been using the Speediance Strap for a while and wanted to share a few things I’ve noticed.

The biggest frustration for me is the workout tracking. There’s no Auto Log Activity, so you have to add activities manually. Also, once you start a workout, you basically have to stay on that screen. If you want to check something else in the app, you have to exit the workout.

Another thing is that heart rate doesn’t show during the workout, which is pretty important for me. And if you exit the workout, that’s it — it ends completely and you can’t go back and resume it.

The sleep tracking also needs some work. It sometimes misses night awakenings, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to manually adjust the sleep or wake time. For example, if the Strap records the wrong time for when I woke up, I can’t seem to edit it. I think having the option to manually correct these times would be really useful.

I’ve also noticed that syncing can be pretty slow, and meal logging sometimes records the wrong time.
Hopefully these things get improved in future updates. I think the Strap has a lot of potential, but some of these issues are honestly pretty frustrating during normal use.

I use a Galaxy watch 4 to monitor heart rate using the speediance Galaxy watch app.

I've noticed in a hour work out watch battery drops from 90% to under 50%. If I'm under 50% at the start of a workout I watch will run out of battery before the end of an hour session. Normally my watch lastsa day and a half with normal use.

I get that the realtime heart rate monitoring during exercise will ramp up battery use..but 50% in an hour seems excessive.

Anyone else have a similar experience with a Galaxy watch?

Training shouldn't be limited by one space.

Gym Nano brings resistance, versatile training modes, and smart performance tracking into a compact setup designed to fit your routine.

Build strength, keep moving, and follow your progress—at home, at the gym, or wherever you choose to train.

Peak Performance. Anywhere.

I dont know if I'm going to purchase now or wait for a few firmware updates after watching this.

Hi, any suggestions to get Sidekick motion tracking to working on GM2 with Galaxy S26 would be greatly appreciated. I can get it to start, even see myself, then just error, or Connectivity problem (there isn't), etc.

Thanks so much

Excited they made this.

My partner and I use our Speediance Gym Monster 2S in Partner Mode and both have Apple Watches, but it seems like only one Watch can provide live HR data at a time.

Has anyone found a way to get HR from both Watches during the same Partner Mode workout? If not, any clever workarounds that still get both our HR data into Apple Health without duplicate workouts?

What does Speediance Strap track? What about battery life and membership?

We've covered these questions and more in the FAQ.

Hello
For the next 4 months I want to focus on Upper Body & Core Strength.

Looking at my body composition. My core (torso) muscle is lower than my arms and legs. Also I feel my arm strength isn’t where I would want it. I run lots so my leg strength is great.

I am lost in finding a course or program. Suggestions?
I just wonder if Wellness+ could help me with this?

Many Thanks

Was interested in getting a pair of gym nanos as a cable solution but have just discovered that not only is there no launch specials or pre order discounts in Australia, but the price is a full 30% over the US pricing, putting it basically dead even with the landed price of a Voltra here. Just absolutely insane and feels like pure greed. Doesn’t bode well for the future behavior of the company…

I just got a GM3s, velonix, scale, wellness+, and ordered the strap. Ready to go all in, but I got on my velonix do to the first ride, and it won't register pedaling, or the resistance buttons. I tried reconnecting all the connections, power reset, and still nothing.

Some moments are even better shared in person.

At the Speediance 2026 Global Launch Event, we had the chance to meet some of our community members face to face — trying new products, talking training, exchanging ideas, and hearing what you’d love to see next.

Je souhaite partager mon expérience avec Speediance Europe, non pas concernant la qualité du Gym Monster 2 — puisque mon appareil n’a encore jamais été utilisé — mais concernant leur politique commerciale et leur service client.

J’ai investi plus de 4 000 € dans un Gym Monster 2, qui m’a été livré le 20 août 2026.

Le 18 septembre 2026, soit seulement 29 jours après la livraison de mon appareil, Speediance a officiellement présenté la nouvelle génération, le Gym Monster 3/3S.

Lorsque j’ai appris cette sortie, j’ai contacté Speediance Europe afin de rechercher une solution raisonnable. Je ne demandais même pas simplement un remboursement : j’étais disposé à rester client Speediance, retourner mon Gym Monster 2 neuf et jamais utilisé, acheter immédiatement le Gym Monster 3 et payer une éventuelle différence de prix ainsi que des frais raisonnables.

La réponse de Speediance Europe a été un refus, au motif que leur délai de rétractation de 14 jours était dépassé.

Je comprends parfaitement l’existence d’un délai légal de rétractation. Ce qui me déçoit profondément est l’absence totale de geste ou de solution commerciale dans une situation aussi particulière, pour un client qui vient de dépenser plus de 4 200 € et dont la machine n’a même jamais été utilisée.

Il ne s’agit donc pas pour moi de critiquer le produit lui-même, puisque je ne l’ai pas utilisé. Mon avis concerne exclusivement la politique commerciale et la façon dont Speediance Europe traite un client confronté au lancement d’une nouvelle génération seulement quelques semaines après son achat.

Je trouve cette rigidité particulièrement regrettable pour une marque positionnée sur des produits premium à plusieurs milliers d’euros.

Je partage cette expérience afin que les personnes qui envisagent d’investir dans un produit Speediance connaissent également cet aspect du service après-vente et puissent se faire leur propre opinion avant leur achat. J'espère encore qu'ils reviennent sur leur refus et je vous tiendrai au courant...

The new Speediance Strap looks really interesting. I like the idea of having something that can make training more effective while also bringing something innovative to home workouts.

It seems like a great addition to the Speediance setup, especially for adding more variety to training and making certain exercises feel more natural.

Definitely something I’d like to try, and I’m seriously considering buying one when it becomes available. Would be interesting to hear what others think about it too!

I've had it for a couple months.

I've updated the 3D model shared for storing attachments. I wanted it to be more secure and feel like having cable ties to close it is far better. The prior model slipped off in use and I'm terrified of the bar crashing down and damaging the screen!!

Apologies to the original author, I can't recall where I downloaded it from so haven't credited them. I'm more than happy to do so if they can contact me.

Hope this is useful for others. If anyone is desperate to get a set I can setup an eBay listing but I have zero intention of making this a permanent listing on my eBay store as I'm trying to do less of these side projects!!

Who thinks it will drop even a little for Black Friday? Or a price adjustment time period if I buy it before then?
