If you love the comprehensive workout experience that gym equipment offers but are tired of high membership fees, time-consuming commutes, and waiting for popular machines, Speediance is the ideal solution. This compact all-in-one home gym fits into any corner of your home—living room, bedroom, backyard, or garage—providing professional-level, diverse workouts.
Speediance is more than just fitness equipment; it's a whole new fitness concept:
- No extra costs for personal trainers
- No fighting for space in crowded group classes
Speediance offers:
- Coach-guided strength training
- Cardio workouts
- Pilates
- Recovery training
- Functional training
- Yoga, and more
Transform your home into a private fitness studio. Best of all, you'll never have to worry about using damp gym equipment again.
Speediance replace the following 11 traditional fitness equipment pieces:
1. Free weight rack
Strength gains are a gradual process—becoming stronger requires lifting heavier weights. This is why gym racks filled with various dumbbells are so practical. When you're ready to increase the load, you simply grab the next set of heavier dumbbells, usually in 5 to 10-pound increments. However, this method has its downsides:
- It takes up a lot of space.
- The exact weight you need may not be available.
- You might not be ready for such a large jump in weight.
Speediance's all-in-one home gym changes that. It allows you to gradually build strength with precise increments of just one pound, something traditional dumbbells cannot offer.
- Up to 220 pounds of precise resistance.
- Compact design that takes up minimal space.
If you're concerned that this weight range won't meet your training needs, research shows that digital weight feels heavier than traditional free weights, meaning you can actually lift more.
Additionally, Speediance features an adjustable arm design, allowing you to target your upper body, core, and lower body, giving you a comprehensive, full-body workout.
Featured Move: Rotational Chop
Performance Assessment:
Compared to traditional free weights, Speediance excels in rotational movements. For example, when performing rotational chops, it effectively targets the core muscles—something that's difficult to achieve with free weights.
Benny, a senior strength trainer, rehabilitation expert, and fitness planner, explains:
- When using dumbbells for such exercises, the direction of resistance is not ideal.
- You need to overcome gravity, which puts additional strain on the shoulders.
Speediance's design allows resistance to be applied from multiple directions, simulating more natural human movement patterns. This makes the training more efficient and targeted.
2. Squat Rack
Squats are a classic exercise targeting the body's strongest and most developed muscle groups—the glutes and quadriceps. In traditional gyms, performing squats often involves loading heavy weight plates onto a barbell, then removing it from the squat rack to begin the movement. This process is time-consuming and can be challenging for individuals with lower strength levels.
Speediance's digital weight system completely changes this process. There's no need to manually load or unload weight plates. With just a simple press of a button, you can easily adjust the resistance, allowing you to immediately get into your squat routine.
Featured Move: Barbell Squat
Effectiveness Analysis:
Speediance not only provides a safe alternative for squats, but its dynamic weight mode also makes your squat training more efficient. This mode allows resistance to be adjusted within a set or even within a single repetition, better simulating the variation of resistance in real-life movements.
As Speediance's senior fitness coach and strength training expert, Yang, explains:
“Experienced coaches know that adding accessories like resistance bands and chains can significantly enhance training. However, for most regular trainees, these methods can be difficult to master. They may not know how to properly incorporate these tools or worry about the added resistance being too much.Speediance's chain mode intelligently adjusts resistance, precisely replicating the effect of adding chains to barbell training, making the workout more personalized and effective.”
With Speediance's smart resistance adjustment, trainers can focus on executing movements and activating muscles, rather than worrying about adjusting weights or searching for the right plates. This intelligent training approach makes squat training more scientific, safe, and efficient.
3. Smith Machine
The main advantage of the Smith machine lies in its fixed movement path and safety hooks, which allow even beginners to perform weight training in a controlled environment. However, this rigidity also limits the natural movement and variety of exercises.
Speediance offers a more advanced and flexible alternative with its unique "Observer Mode", providing a training experience that combines the safety and control of the Smith machine while allowing for more natural, dynamic movements. This mode enhances exercise variety and adaptability, helping users achieve a more functional and effective workout.
Featured Move: Barbell Front Split Squat
When performing squats on a traditional Smith machine, the vertical movement path limits the trainer's motion in three-dimensional space, which can hinder the development of balance, strength, and stability. However, with Speediance, every squat fully challenges your balance and stabilizing muscles, while effectively targeting the glutes and quadriceps, regardless of how your squat form changes.
Effectiveness:
Speediance's "Assist Mode" functions similarly to the safety hooks on a Smith machine, automatically reducing the weight when the trainer reaches muscle failure, ensuring safety throughout the workout. This intelligent weight adjustment surpasses traditional Smith machines in performance.
As fitness experts have noted, adding resistance elements like resistance bands and chains can enhance training, but these methods may be complex and risky for most users. Speediance's chain mode intelligently applies the perfect amount of resistance, replicating the effect of adding chains to a barbell, making the training more efficient and safe.
4. Bench Press
In gyms, it's easy to notice that those pushing their limits on the bench press are rarely alone; they always have a spotter. This is because, during the bench press, failing to lift the barbell or having it slip off can be extremely dangerous. But at home, without a spotter, how can you safely perform bench press training?
Speediance's smart spotter mode provides the solution, ensuring you can safely push your limits even in the comfort of your home.
Featured Move: Barbell Bench Press
Effectiveness:
As a foundational and highly effective upper-body exercise, the bench press sees significant improvement when performed using Speediance's chain mode. This mode adjusts the resistance throughout your bench press movement, simulating the free-fall motion of a barbell, while maintaining safety.
With Speediance, you can experience the benefits of this efficient weightlifting technique without worrying about the risks of losing control of the barbell.
5. Cable Machine
Traditional cable machines allow for exercises that dumbbells cannot, but they are often limited by gravity, failing to provide fully adjustable resistance. Speediance's fitness expert, Chen Yang, explains that Speediance can do what traditional cable machines cannot—control the resistance curve, ensuring that the resistance you feel throughout the movement remains constant or adjusts as needed.
As Li Ming puts it:
“What traditional cable machines can't do, Speediance excels at. It adjusts resistance based on your movement phase.”
This means in your cable exercises, you can experience:
- Increasing resistance as you lift
- Decreasing resistance as you lower the weight
Move: Single-Arm Rotational Punch
Effectiveness Analysis:
This exercise is primarily focused on enhancing rotational power, making it ideal for athletes who need strong rotational force in their sport, such as golfers and tennis players. Speediance’s chain mode (which increases weight during the concentric phase) significantly boosts the effectiveness of this exercise. By adding load during the concentric phase, you better prepare your muscles to generate more force.
Improving rotational strength is not only essential for athletes but also a fundamental fitness requirement for everyone as they age, helping to maintain vitality and reduce injury risk.
6. Pull-Up Machine
Indeed, pull-ups are a vital exercise for back training. However, in the gym, due to the popularity of pull-up machines, there's often a wait, which can reduce training efficiency. At home, with Speediance, you can perform pull-up training anytime, seamlessly switching to other lower-body or core exercises, all at your own pace—no waiting required.
Recommended Move: Standing Cable Row
Effectiveness Analysis:
Speediance offers an experience similar to using a pull-up machine, allowing you to efficiently target your back muscles at home. Unlike traditional machines, Speediance tracks detailed data from each session, including the weight lifted and repetitions performed. This means you never have to worry about forgetting your previous settings and can continue challenging yourself from where you left off.
7. Chest Fly Machine
While the chest fly machine is highly effective for targeting chest muscles, it has a relatively limited function,” says fitness coach Benny. “You can only train along a fixed movement path.” Speediance, however, offers much more flexibility. Its arms not only rotate but can also be adjusted to different heights and angles, allowing you to perform chest exercises from various positions, such as incline and decline flys.
Benny explains:
“This design allows you to target different areas of the chest, ensuring your workout is more comprehensive and the results more significant.”
Featured Move: Incline Fly
How It Works:
Speediance’s intelligent system continuously monitors your speed and power during training, calculating your power curve and identifying weaknesses and strengths in each movement. With the smart flexion-extension mode, Speediance increases resistance at the strongest phase of your movement while reducing it at the weakest phase.
8. Chest Press Machine
Simulating the chest press on Speediance is effortless, but the real advantage of bringing this movement into your home is that it offers more than just a single exercise. It provides a complete training program guided by professional coaches, designed to help you maximize your chest muscle development. You can follow dynamic chest and back workouts with Coach XXX to experience a comprehensive upper-body strength boost or complete a full chest workout in just 15 minutes with Quick Fit: Chest Super Set.
Featured Move: Standing Chest Press
Compared to traditional bench press exercises, using Speediance's standing chest press machine removes the support of a bench, requiring you to actively engage your core and activate full-body muscles. This standing chest press more thoroughly activates your pectorals, shoulders, and arm muscles, with a particular focus on the stability and strength of your front chain muscles.
9. Press Machine
Traditional overhead press machines are designed specifically for shoulder presses, but their single-function design limits the diversity of training. This limitation becomes especially apparent when you plan to follow up your pressing exercises with bent-over rows or other back exercises. You may need to search for different machines in the gym, which not only wastes time but also disrupts your training flow if the equipment is occupied.
Speediance provides a seamless solution, allowing you to smoothly transition from one exercise to another without worrying about equipment being unavailable. Additionally, Speediance tracks your training progress, so you can clearly see how you’re getting stronger over time. When you challenge heavier weights, you’ll especially appreciate Speediance’s smart spotter function.
Featured Move: Standing Dumbbell Press
Why It's Effective:
Unlike traditional seated presses, the standing dumbbell press with Speediance doesn’t limit your range of motion. This allows you to activate your core muscles more fully during the press, particularly the smaller muscles responsible for stabilizing your torso. This stance requires greater body control, making the exercise not only beneficial for shoulder muscles but also for enhancing core stability.
10. Seated Triceps Dip Machine
While triceps dips are an effective exercise for targeting the triceps, mastering the correct technique can be challenging for beginners. The seated triceps dip machine reduces shoulder strain but may not be suitable for all body types and can be difficult for some individuals to perform.
"Many trainees struggle with this move due to lack of flexibility, or they may experience shoulder discomfort or forward lean when attempting it," explains fitness coach Benny. Speediance offers a more comfortable and adjustable way to work the triceps, suitable for all body types and fitness levels.
Featured Move: Bent-Over Triceps Extension with Speediance
Effectiveness:
Compared to standard triceps extensions, the bent-over triceps extension with Speediance is a gentler and more accessible alternative, especially for those with limited mobility or beginners. With Speediance’s smart resistance system, you can find the most suitable posture during the triceps extension, ensuring comfort and effectiveness.
11. Curl Bench
Curl benches are commonly used for preacher curls, an exercise that isolates the biceps, particularly when the muscle is in a contracted state. However, to target a specific muscle group, you don't always need specialized equipment. Speediance’s all-in-one home gym breaks this limitation, allowing you to work your biceps through a variety of exercises while still engaging other muscle groups.
Featured Move: Lying Hammer Curl
Effectiveness:
As Yang describes, the alternating hammer curl, similar to preacher curls, focuses on working the short head of the biceps. This lying hammer curl isolates the muscles, eliminating the assistance from other body parts that may unconsciously help in standing bicep curls.
Speediance’s Feedback function helps you maintain the most accurate posture, much like securing your arms on a preacher bench pad, ensuring the precision and effectiveness of each movement. This is just one of the many variations of bicep curls available on Speediance. In addition to these isolation exercises, there are also compound movements that can target the biceps simultaneously.
With Speediance, you can enjoy comprehensive and diverse bicep training at home, without the need for specific gym equipment.
