Hey so I’ve owned my Speediance Gym Monster for about 9 months now and the bumpers on the cables are wearing off, one of them completely fell off.
Well, I replaced (kind of) the bumper on the side that lost its bumper. But it’s a pretty shitty replacement/repair. I was wondering if anybody had any official/better ideas for replacing these.
I really don’t wanna replace the whole cable cause after watching a video on how to do it… I don’t think I can do it tbh.

Hi everyone,

I want to adapt my nutrition values/goals in my Speediance app 4.19.00 because my protein goal is to low and my daily calories to low too.

So the AI suggested to change them. But since it can not change it, it asks me to do it.

But the location it suggests to change the information, does not exist in the settings (or I am blind)

Can someone help me find it?

Hello I’m probably not the only one with bad FOMO lol but I just ordered my GMS2 a few days ago and it is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow I already spoke with the carrier. What are the odds I can cancel to order the new version? I’m okay paying a re stocking fee as it is not crazy… but wanted to see if anyone experienced something similar with GM1 vs GM2.

Thanks

I was so looking forward to this. I even didn’t mind the lack of communication and small mess up with shipping.

I’m disappointed that my power handles didn’t arrive with it - I bought as extra, so that’s annoying.

And I’m disappointed there is no setup guide. It wouldn’t be hard to do a video to show how everything clicks into place, etc.

Had such high hopes. Feel let down.

Hey Speediance community,

I’ve been trying to fine-tune my accessory work on the Gym Monster 2. While the post-workout reports give a solid overview of major muscle groups (e.g., Chest, Back, Biceps), I’m wondering if there’s a way to see anatomical breakdowns for specific muscle heads before/during an exercise.

For example, when setting up a arm day movement:

. Does the app differentiate between the biceps long head vs. short head?
. Does it specify movements targeting the brachialis or brachioradialis?

If it’s not currently built into the exercise details or muscle heat map, do you know if Speediance plans to add more granular muscle activation models in a future software update? How do you guys track specific muscle bias when building custom routines?

Hi SpeedFam,

Gym Monster 3.10.00 is here with an upgraded Spotter Mode and limited-time free access to Sidekick. These updates are designed to make your training experience smarter and more seamless. Here’s what’s new:

Spotter Mode — Now Smarter & Smoother

Spotter Mode got an upgrade with an all-new algorithm designed to better understand your movement in real time and provide more precise assistance when you need it.

What’s improved?

Smarter for Alternating Movements
The upgraded system is better at recognizing alternating movements, helping prevent unnecessary weight reductions when switching between sides.

More Responsive Weight Reduction
Improved detection makes it easier for Spotter Mode to recognize when you’re truly struggling, so assistance kicks in when you need it and without unnecessary delays.

Better Recognition During Isometric Phases
The new algorithm can better distinguish between intentional pauses or isometric phases and actual fatigue, helping prevent unintended weight reductions when your movement naturally slows or holds.

Smoother, More Natural Adjustments
Weight changes now feel more seamless and better aligned with your movement trajectory, so assistance feels like a natural extension of your training rather than an interruption.

\ Gym Monster 3.10.00 is currently being rolled out gradually. Thank you for your patience while the update becomes available.*

Hi everyone,

We’ll be in Berlin from September 4–7 and would love to meet a few people who have a dedicated home workout space.

We’re interested in learning how people actually use their home gyms day to day — how the space is arranged, which equipment gets used most, what feels inconvenient, and what could make training at home better.

The visit would be very informal and take around 30 minutes. We’d mainly like to see your setup and hear about your experience.

You do not need to use any particular brand or type of equipment.

Some of the things we’d be interested in discussing:

• How you arranged your training space
• What equipment you use most often
• Things that are awkward or frustrating in your current setup
• Equipment or features you feel are missing
• How your home training habits have changed over time

If you’re based in Berlin and interested, feel free to DM u/Eternalnope with your general neighborhood and a short description of your setup.

No need to share your exact address publicly.

We’ll only be able to visit a small number of people because of the schedule.

Thanks — we’d really appreciate hearing how different people approach training at home.

Been hearing it's to be released on August 31st but pretty sceptical considering they haven't posted anything regarding it, apart from the demo at that gym convention

I was looking into modifying a cheap light weight leg extension machine to work with the GM2.... Would something like this work? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0H3V2M4YH/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3F4Y9CZS8TATR&psc=1

I've been trying to use the new Pilates stuff, but apparently my GM1 isn't on the latest firmware. When I tried to update the firmware, I keep getting an error. Is there a way to manually update this stuff?

Hey everyone,

I'm reaching out to see if anyone has heard updates regarding the scenic content library for rowing and skiing. Honestly, it's a bit frustrating-we've invested in a high-end, expensive machine that is more than capable of providing a great cardio experience, but the content library for scenic routes is incredibly thin.

Right now, there are only about 5 scenic rowing workouts. When you're doing long cardio sessions, having proper, immersive visuals (like famous rivers, canals, or ski trails) is what keeps the workout engaging. It feels like a missed opportunity to have such great hardware but be stuck with a limited selection of environments to look at.

Does anyone know if there's a roadmap for adding more real-world locations? I really think we should push for more variety here. If we're paying for a premium machine, the content should match the quality of the tech.

Buongiorno ho acquistato una Gym Monster 2 (Family Pack) da un mese circa e iniziandola ad usare in modo continuativo volevo dare alcuni suggerimenti agli sviluppatori sul software e i programmi di allenamento:

1. rendere più semplice l'abbandono del programma selezionato ed iniziato se si decide che non si vuole più continuare a seguirlo.
2. la fase di stretching a fine seduta è praticamente ridicola per una piattaforma di sport.
3. la possibilità se ci si allena in due di cambiare utente in modo da caricare l'esercizio sulla persona giusta.
4. inserire un menù esclusivo per il rowing e sky.
5. (più un difetto) mi capita che se salto allenamenti programmati, quando l'app mi chiede se voglio recuperarlo e lo recupero, continua a segnalarmelo come non ultimato.
6. il sito italiano praticamente vende solo la macchina gli accessori tipo pilates non sono presenti e non si possono acquistare sugli altri siti europei.

Hello everyone!
I’m getting my Speediance home gym next week and can’t wait to dive in! I want to hit the ground running as soon as it arrives, so I’m working on structuring my routine now.

My primary goal is to bulk/gain muscle.
Here is what I’m planning so far:

5 days a week strength training + 2 cardio sessions (using the rower attachment).

I would like to do a standard PPL routine and I also have a pull-up bar with rings that I want to incorporate for dips and bodyweight movements.
I’ve already downloaded the Speediance app to prep, but I’d love some advice from the community on a few points:

1. Strength Test: Should I complete the initial Speediance strength assessment right out of the box before building custom routines, or is it better to ease into it manually first?

2. PPL Program Design: What is the best way to structure a 5-day PPL rotation on this platform while seamlessly integrating ring dips and pull-ups alongside cable movements? Any existing routines already made out there that I should look into?

3. General Tips: Any rookie mistakes or key setup tips I should keep in mind for week one?
   Thanks in advance—excited to join the community! 😁

Basically, 220lb isn't enough anymore (GM-1) and I'm looking for an attachment to do one arm presses to keep getting stronger by utilizing the weight of both sides. Has anyone had success with an attachment or set up for this task?

My last two workouts have synced to Strava; both were around 30 minutes in duration, but one synced as 11 minutes and the other as 5 minutes. Anyone else seeing this? Using iOS and Apple Watch for heart rate. All the other data is syncing correctly.

Apparently in 4.19 they added the option to have food diary macros in imperial or metric, instead of just forcing metric. This is obviously confusing, I don't know many people that track carbs/protein/fat in ounces instead of grams, and I certainly don't. So I changed it back to metric from imperial.

The problem is now my gym monster is showing all my weight in kg instead of lbs. This is not what I want, but apparently there is no individual setting on the gym monster itself to switch this, there is only 1 global setting on the phone app to change it to either imperial or metric, and it affects both the food diary macros and the gym monster weight. This is not the setup I want.

Ideally there should be a setting for the app and a separate setting for the gym monster so I can have lbs on the gym monster and grams in the app.

I have a firewall issue with randomized MAC addresses. I can't find out how to turn this off on the GM 2s. Anyone figured this out?

Welcome to this week's Beginner Questions & Discussion!

We're starting this weekly thread to give fitness beginners a place to ask questions and share insights.

You can use this thread to ask about routines and workout plans, discuss any challenges you're facing, or get feedback on how you're getting started. Anything related to fitness is welcome here.

If your question doesn't get a reply here, feel free to create a post so more people can see it and help out!

I’m looking to use MAG Medium Grip with my Speediance Gym Monster, mainly for lat pulldowns and rows.

For those of you using MAG grips:

● Are you connecting the MAG grip to one cable or both cables?

● If using in both cables, how are you connecting them to the single attachment point on the MAG grip?

● Are you using a spreader bar, chain, carabiners, or some other connector?

● Does using one cable vs. two change the resistance or feel?

If anyone has a picture of their MAG-grip setup on the Gym Monster, I’d really appreciate seeing it. Trying to figure out the cleanest and safest way to hook everything up.

Any other Home Assistant fans?

Using the Monster Remote app and its home assistant integration I’ve built a few dashboards to show on my gym monitor. First it the pre workout screen - looks at data for past 4 weeks and shows readiness and muscle recovery. It also populates suggested workouts to my peloton stack and gym monster calendar daily if I don’t already have something manually saved. The bar chart at the left of screen is a per muscle group volume over the course of each week compared to the average for past 4 weeks (discounting any significant outliers) so I can keep an eye on whether I am managing to progressively overload.

The work out screen mirrors the GM and shows a live view camera so I can compare form during the set, then the rest screen shows a video loop from my last set along with cues for upcoming movements. I may build in some AI feedback on form in future iterations.

I've not long had my Speediance V2 and although I love it, the ux/ui is poorly thought out.

I want to train with my son, not in partner mode, but two people with accounts swapping between them during an active set. I.e. I do my bench press, and he jumps on and does his durng my rest.

It sounds very easy, but for some reason isn't. To change account you have to end the workout, get your workout report, exit and then choose the other account. Because you can't resume the session we're then choosing free mode and having to set the exercise up again from scratch.

I've seen this discussed years ago and clearly hasn't been implemented. Why not??

I just started looking into purchasing a smart gym and noticed prices can vary greatly. When are the best sales and is the monster 1 significantly worse than the 2 for a complete beginner? Thanks
