"The benefits of strength training are pretty undeniable. Particularly as we age, regularly lifting heavy things increases our bone density, improves our metabolism, and elevates our mood. It doesn't have to be a full routine. It can be worked into your life if you're doing distance running training, a weekend sports league, or chronically busy, and it'll still give you benefits. Weight training is a win all around."
"That can mean pricey membership fees, long wait times as the squat rack you want is occupied by a guy scrolling TikTok, and the ambient sound of other people grunting. I have wanted to get into lifting for a long time, but I hate the gym, so aside from a few half-hearted attempts through the years, I've largely stuck to cardio."
"Speediance Gym Monster 2 Pros Makes workouts easier than ever; that cannot be overstated Doesn't require a wall mount, which Tonal does Easy button-press to release weight Solid AI for knowing when to lighten weight on final reps Makes for a decent rowing machine Cons 220-pound limit Bit of a to-do when setting up Speediance is a newer player in the smart home gym game that Tonal has been dominating since, well, since the smart home gym became a thing."
Strength training improves bone density, metabolism, mood, and overall longevity, and can be incorporated around running, sports, or busy schedules. Traditional gyms present barriers such as membership costs, crowded equipment, and gym environment aversions that deter consistent lifting. The Speediance Gym Monster 2 provides a home-based smart resistance solution with digital weights, a touchscreen, preloaded workouts, adjustable handles, and AI that monitors final reps. The unit simplifies workouts, avoids a wall mount, and doubles as a rowing machine, while its main limitations are a 220-pound weight cap and somewhat involved setup.
