Speediance Gym Monster 3 review

Gym Monster 3 is the smart strength machine we would point renters toward, because it stands on its own platform and needs no wall mounting. Two direct drive motors create up to 220 lbs of cable resistance on the standard model, or 260 lbs on the 3S, with each side loaded independently and adjustable in 1 lb steps from 8 lbs. Speediance says it replaces 7 or more traditional machines, covering strength, cardio-style rowing and Pilates moves. Unfolded it takes about 9 square feet, and it folds to 14.6 by 27.2 inches of floor space, 72.8 inches tall. A 23.8 inch touchscreen runs guided workouts and an AI coach. The weak spots are cost and footprint in use: $3,489 on sale is many times the price of dumbbells and a bench, you need open space around it to train, and the included warranty is 2 years unless you buy a care plan. Speediance's care plans bundle a month of its Wellness+ service, so check which app features need it before you buy.

Who it is for

Renters who want cable machine training without drilling into walls.
