Speediance

Speediance was founded in Shenzhen in late 2020 and launched its first machine, the Gym Monster, through a Kickstarter campaign in 2021.

Instead of weight plates, electric motors generate the resistance – up to around 100 kilograms, adjustable per arm on the successor. That replaces a whole dumbbell rack in about a square metre, logs every repetition, and enables modes iron cannot do, such as more load on the way down than on the way up.
