The pandemic accelerated purchases of home fitness equipment while also stoking innovation and development of new and more engaging ways for us to sweat without leaving our living rooms. However, as anyone whose pre-Covid regimen included separate workouts for strength training and cardio would agree, we still have yet to see a true all-in-one piece of home workout equipment that checks both boxes.
This is what makes Speediance stand out from the recent waves of new home fitness product launches. Designed to truly deliver all the benefits of the gym with one piece of equipment, the company’s flagship product provides users with up to 220 pounds of digital resistance for strength training, along with accessories that effectively convert it into a rowing machine and ski erg for cardio sessions.
While the form factor of Speediance’s strength training setup, which can be configured as a bench press, cable machine, squat rack, and more, is reminiscent of the more expensive Tonal (which, crucially, does not offer cardio accessories), Speediance need not be mounted to a wall—an unfortunate dealbreaker for many would-be Tonal customers whose walls simply can’t be trusted to bear hundreds of pounds of force. Because Speediance’s pulley system is anchored to its frame and platform, it can be used in any room and even folded up and stored away between workouts.
