Verdict
Pros & cons
Das Flow Fitness G1i Smart Gym ist eine flache Bodenplattform mit Motor-Seilzug, die bis 150 kg Widerstand über beide Seile liefert. Grundtraining und Sicherheitstaste funktionieren ohne Abo direkt am Gerät. Der Haken: Das Seil kommt nur aus dem Boden, Latzug und Übungen von oben fallen weg, und eine Bank fehlt im Standardpaket. Mit über 40 kg braucht es einen festen Platz.
Pros
- Bis 150 kg Widerstand gesamt, 50 kg über der üblichen Spitze
- Grundtraining ohne Abo und ohne Smartphone am LED-Feld
- Tasten an Stange und Griffen schalten den Widerstand erst in Position zu
- Sicherheitstaste löst den Widerstand sofort beim Training allein
- Vier Modi: Standard, Exzentrisch, Kette und Geschwindigkeit
- Feine Einstellung in 75 Stufen, App zeichnet Sätze automatisch auf
Cons
- Seil kommt nur aus dem Boden, Latzug und Zug von oben fehlen
- Über 40 kg schwer, zum Verstauen nach jeder Einheit ungeeignet
- Maße und Gewicht weichen zwischen Produktseite und Anleitung ab
- Nach dem Einschalten kurze Wartezeit für die Kalibrierung
Das Speediance Gym Monster 2 GM2 ist ein klappbares Smart Gym mit Motor-Seilzug, das zu Hause einen Kabelturm ersetzt. Es zieht leise und ruckfrei bis 100 kg, beginnt bei 3,6 kg und bleibt ohne Abo voll nutzbar. Der Haken: Konto und WLAN sind Pflicht, die Software holpert, und für schwere Kniebeugen fehlt dir die Last.
Pros
- Freies Training, über 400 Workouts und Kurse ohne Abo nutzbar
- Ruckfreier Anlauf, kein Haken am Umkehrpunkt
- Widerstand von 3,6 bis 100 kg in 0,5-kg-Schritten
- Eingeklappt nur 0,25 m² Stellfläche, freistehend auf Rollen
- Exzentrik-, Ketten- und Assistenzmodus fürs Training allein
- Leises Motorsurren, auch frühmorgens wohnungstauglich
Cons
- Konto und WLAN auch für freies Training Pflicht
- 100 kg reichen nicht für schwere Kniebeugen und Kreuzheben
- Deutsche Menütexte holprig, Touchscreen verwechselt Tippen und Wischen
- Seil riss im Test nach zwei Wochen, weitere Fälle bekannt
- Bank fehlt im Basic-Paket
