Awesome video! This is the most thorough review I've seen of the Gym Monster. Recently ordered one myself, so I've been reviewing online content. I am even more excited about the purchase given your insight (sorry i didnt have the chance to use your promo code).
You and mrs disciplinedave killed it this video! Has me laughing out loud in quite a few places! I saw your interview with Mike over at sliding bench trainer… just wondered why you didn’t consider a total gym or other sliding bench trainer? My big worry with smart gyms is that tech gets outdated or is not easily fixable a few years down the line in the same way that you can replace a cable in a traditional cable machine. Was this a concern for you guys at all?? Please also keep up the resistance bands videos, I’ve learned a tonne from you! Have a great day!
Thank you so much. We weren’t concerned about the tech being outdated because all the functions are internal (doesn’t require a phone) as far as repairs long term that could be a problem down the line. I need to look into their warranty policy. Thanks again for all the kind words I put a lot of work into this video
Hey Dave, I know what you mean when you say that your wrists burn/hurt. I promise any amount of exercise you do, should be counteracted with some good stretching if you're not already! 😀 My stiffness caused so much pain before, and now I feel amazing! To prevent injury it's important to do dynamic stretching before workouts and static stretching following the workout!
It's giving infomercial. But wait! There's more! 😄Great review. I own a Tonal but in 2024+, am re-directing people to this due to Tonal's subscription.
Hi Dave. Enjoy your channel.Have you had the chance to try out this machines competitors like the Sole SRVO and the Vitruvian which dont have the screen like Speediance but work off your phone ,tablet,etc. and offer more resistance? This machine looks like a winner if youve got the cash. Thanks for your super videos!
Can you take a wider grip in the bench press exercise? It seems that there is quite a narrow space between the cable attachments for bench press exercise. Can you grab the outside of the cables in the bench press exercise?
Been watching you for a couple of months. You've been really instructive for my resistance band workouts. Good videos! I do have a question. Your brand has been built on resistance bands. You obviously love the new machine, which is understandable. So, does this mean the end of your resistance band videos?
Discipline Dave, you guys are super funny 😅 Wanted to ask, is there a monthly fee for using the program/machine? Also, do you have to log in to the program to use the monster gym?
They have a monthly service if you want like a personal training or challenges but it’s not required. Yes you need a login but you don’t have to pay for anything extra. I mainly use the free workout mode and just do my own exercises. Thanks we try to be funny 😄
Thanks for the review. I am considering the Speediance. May I ask when did you purchase the machine ? I’m asking because I see that your machine came with the smart handles with the Bluetooth built into them and that Bluetooth device that goes onto the bar. I like those accessories. The machine now comes with a Bluetooth Ring that I don’t like and I think it can be a saftey hazard. Also the non Bluetooth handles that you get now are cheap Amazon handles ( saw another UA-cam reviewer show them and he show them and even said they were cheap) . Also you can’t set the concentric and eccentric weight for an exercise for example if I wanted to do a barbell curl I can’t set the concentric to 50 pounds and the eccentric to 70 pounds . I asked Speediance and they said it can’t be done and I disagree because it can be done and it’s done on the tonal and other resistance machines. Your 6 feet , I am 6 feet 3 inches tall and I think that doing lat pulldowns would not be done properly. These issues that I brought up especially the Bluetooth ring is right now a deal breaker for me. I wish that the ring was an option and the Bluetooth handles were standard.
It was sent to me and they told me that the new model has the ring instead and to be honest with you I wish I had the ring because with the clap on the bar you have to keep moving it to find your "sweet spot" that your thumb can reach before you begin the exercise and I like my hands in different areas depending on the exercise. So with the ring it wont matter where me hands are because the rind will always be reachable. I don't know anything about the handles but I find that a plus also because I like the fact that I can choose my own handles instead of being stuck with there handles if they break. If you follow my channel I mostly workout with resistance bands and I had more handles break on me than bands snap. Next in my experience with the machine you can set the concentric and the eccentric so I do not know why they told you that. That is my favorite thing to do. Lastly I hear you on the lat pull downs that exercise you me has been a problem to get full range of motion so I just do the other back exercises. I honestly can do 95% of the exercises that I normally do at the gym on this machine. In short, I understand now why they made the changes that they made with the ring and the handles and now I really want ton purchase the ring so I don't have to keep adjusting the clap for that slows me down in my exercises, its a minor complaint but the ring makes it that much better. Thanks you watching and your great comment. 😊👍🏾
@@DisciplineDave Thanks replying Dave. In regards to the lat pulldowns , can you get a full range of motion if you sat on the floor ? Now about setting the Concentric and Eccentric weight for a particular exercise, so to clarify you say that you can set the Concentric ( upwards movement weight ) and the Eccentric ( Downwards movement weight ) ? I haven’t seen any videos showing that or anyone letting users or potential customers know this is an option in Speediance app when they set up a exercise. Did you get those clips with your machine so you can use your own attachments if you want to ? Lastly about how wide and tall was the shipping box when it was sealed? I’m by myself and live in a high rise apartment building so I would like to bring up the box in one piece than unpack it in my apartment.
@@rambojohn7118 yes, you can get full range of motion of the lat pull down when seated on the floor but it does feel a little bit awkward because in a gym it’s coming straight down and you’re a little bit further back no matter what angle you choose to pull it down from. And yes the concentric on the way up you can change and the eccentric on the way down you can change. Both can be adjusted.
Yes, I find it long enough for all of my exercises except for one. When I do face pulls, I like to be a little bit further out than the platform but the platform acts as a brace so I can step outside of it and still get a good face pull. Also, the bench fits perfectly in the platform, at first I thought it was going to be too long but it’s the exact perfect length.
Great review, I think now your channel will shift from resistance bands review to training devices review. I think it will be a great idea if you make a video talking about why you chose training in home with resistance bands, and don’t forget to try training with suspension training. Finally ,I agree with you that training leg at home is not satisfying.
@@DisciplineDave no I love your resistance band videos but I think you will not make content about them anymore for the time being . Now you have got a smart gym I think you will make more videos about.
Glad to hear that because that's what I want to do because I have been using it everyday since I got it in. I will try to make more videos about it if the audience responds to it.
@DisciplineDave great thank you. I was looking at tonal but I think this is a better deal in the long run. Half the price and no 60 membership each month.
I’m not sure how long orders take but I would join their Facebook group because you can hear how long others took and people who work for Speediance will answer your questions also
Coach, I LOVE the look of that! I’d nearly considered a footplate but now 🤦♂️ And it syncs with Apple Watch… decisions decisions… but I do like it Was Jamaica good? I’ve been pushing myself again (for the sake of it)… remember when I started get advice on push ups?? I did double in my daily work out.. I then thought can I??? Do 100 in a day? ✅ Then… Can I do 1000 in a week? ✅ Now… Let’s do 500 a day….. but I do it in 10 hours (50 an hour every hour) currently killing myself- 2 hours left.. just 100 😢 Or (I’ll try in 2 days.. Do 500 in 10 hours.. not so many per hour but must have 500 done at end of hour 10…. It’s so addictive Coach… I hate press ups but I can stop Did someone say calesthetis?? 😂😂 Hope you and mrs DD are good Much love coach 👊

Thank you fore saying that, there are some other good reviews out there so it means a lot you saying that.
Did you get it? How do you like it?

Found your channel looking for som at home workout content, great content and sense of humor,
Thanks 😊

Wow, just found this. Very interesting, could be just what I need to finish getting a home gym worked up.
It’s awesome! Use my link if you decide to purchase. I would greatly appreciate it
Hey Dave, have you ever thought about using lat pulldown accessories for your resistance bands... I have been having great success with it so far.
Well I’ve been using the bodylastics curl bar for lat pull downs
@@DisciplineDave What is your set up like for the lat pulls with the curl bar? On the door and your sitting?
@@iKeto_gal I am off the platform to the side sitting on the bench close to the machine
They took The Dragon Ball Z resistance training to another Level
Hahahaha
Great review of a cool looking machine! If I didn't already have a squat rack, I may have bought this thing.
Right on! thanks for watching
Love Mrs Disciplinedave !!

No it doesn’t mean the end of resistance bands
I'm surprised you didn't have the new ring. They improved the controller to be only a small ring.
thanks for this review!
You welcome my friend
Is it consider a heavy duty quality to good enough for personal training use ?
Absolutely
another great video!
Extremely informative video Dave and new subscriber worthy! BTW is the pull on the G/M smooth and consistent or choppy ? Thank you
It’s smooth, thanks for watching and the sub
Hmmm they must have removed the bar clamps. Maybe it's a separate accessory now.
Yea they use a ring now and I heard it's better. I should be getting it in real soon and I'll make a video about it.
How dose it feel tho dose it really feel like it's a cable machine or dose it feel like a bowflex
Was just about to order they don’t ship to uk, shame……
Oh no 🤦🏾♂️
Smart man listening to Mrs Discipline.
Discipline Dave, you guys are super funny 😅

Would this b any good for a wheelchair person
I’m not sure, I think some exercise but I would refer to Speediance customer support.
I prefer the gym for motivation purposes but sometimes home will do great video
Thank you

Can you mix the modes together?
Give me an example
@@DisciplineDave like eccentric and spotter at the same time
@stevecaponio4484 oh yeah, you can definitely do that
@DisciplineDave great thank you. I was looking at tonal but I think this is a better deal in the long run. Half the price and no 60 membership each month.
How long did shipping take? I put my order in last week and I haven’t even heard from anyone yet
I’m not sure how long orders take but I would join their Facebook group because you can hear how long others took and people who work for Speediance will answer your questions also
What about sit-ups?
Do em
@@DisciplineDave No I’m saying can speediance show you how to do sit-ups?
I like the Speediance Gym Monster better than Tonal. You don't have to sacrifice a wall.
I know right! I’m going to bring that part up in my update video.
Bugs are super serious this year bro lol
I know right!
Nice 👍
😊
I thought, "Wow! Perfect. I would buy that for $500... Maybe even more." Then I looked up the price 😮🤕
Yes, it’s a little pricey, but is definitely cheaper than the other brands like peloton and tonal
@@DisciplineDave I hope they'll have a poor boy version in a couple years 🤞
It's like a lightsaber lol lol lol
Let the force be with you
A House 🏠 made out of brick!
He must be living in the south!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Coach, I LOVE the look of that!
I’d nearly considered a footplate but now 🤦♂️
And it syncs with Apple Watch… decisions decisions… but I do like it
Was Jamaica good?
I’ve been pushing myself again (for the sake of it)… remember when I started get advice on push ups??
I did double in my daily work out..
I then thought can I???
Do 100 in a day? ✅
Then…
Can I do 1000 in a week? ✅
Now…
Let’s do 500 a day….. but
I do it in 10 hours (50 an hour every hour) currently killing myself- 2 hours left.. just 100 😢
Or (I’ll try in 2 days..
Do 500 in 10 hours.. not so many per hour but must have 500 done at end of hour 10….
It’s so addictive Coach… I hate press ups but I can stop
Did someone say calesthetis?? 😂😂
Hope you and mrs DD are good
Much love coach 👊
Yeah, this thing is awesome, Jamaica was wonderful thank you for asking. Keep up the good work Curly.
