Speediance Gym Monster 3 builds on the Gym Monster 2 with a range of upgrades designed to make training more interactive, flexible, and convenient. From a larger screen and more cable positions to voice control and a more refined frame, GM3 focuses on improving how you train with the machine every day.
Here's exactly what's changed and what those upgrades mean for your training.
Gym Monster 2 vs. Gym Monster 3: What Actually Changed
Voice Control and Interaction
This is one of the key functional upgrades from Gym Monster 2 to Gym Monster 3.
- Higher-performance computing platform: A more powerful computing platform enables smoother voice interaction and processing.
- Voiceprint recognition: Voiceprint recognition: You can enrol your voiceprint on the machine, and voice adjustments are only available after your voiceprint has been recognized.
- Voice control: You can start and stop workouts, adjust weight, switch resistance modes, and perform other basic functions entirely by voice — useful mid-set, when reaching for a touchscreen isn't practical. At launch, voice interaction supports English only - additional languages (Spanish, German, French, Arabic) are planned for future OTA updates.
Voice control and voiceprint recognition are currently still in development for Gym Monster 2.
Hardware Upgrades
- 19+1 cable positions, up from 11+1: This is close to double the vertical position options. More positions doesn't just mean more exercises — it means the machine can better fit different body heights and training angles, so more users can find a genuinely comfortable pulling position rather than making do with the closest available one.
- Structural changes: The main frame has moved from a bolted construction on GM2 to a welded construction on GM3, which improves rigidity and stability. This is also why the GM3 is heavier: it weighs 181 lb compared with 172 lb for the Gym Monster 2. The screen mount also moved from a single-point to a dual-point hinge for better screen stability, and WiFi has been upgraded from WiFi 5 to WiFi 6 for a more stable connection.
- 23.8" touchscreen, up from 21.5": A larger display provides more space for guided workouts and on-screen content.
- Platform soft-lowering: The platform now lowers at a controlled and even speed at the press of a button, instead of dropping quickly the way it does on Gym Monster 2 — a small but meaningful change that helps prevent the wear and impact that comes from a fast and uncontrolled drop.
- Ambient lighting and auto screen rotation: Multi-color ambient lighting and a gyroscope-enabled screen that automatically rotates add to the overall experience.

Who Will Benefit Most from Gym Monster 3?
- You've felt limited by cable position options — going from 11 to 19 vertical positions is a real difference if you've wanted more angles or a better fit for your height.
- You value a more hands-free training experience — voice control lets you start and stop workouts, adjust weight, switch resistance modes, pause classes, and perform other basic functions without reaching for the touchscreen (Voice interaction supports English at launch, with additional languages planned through future OTA updates).
- You train frequently and put real wear on your equipment — the welded frame and soft-lowering platform are designed to provide greater rigidity, stability, and durability over time.
