LOOK OUT TONAL! | Speediance Unboxing and Initial Thoughts

[@briceking669]

I have one on the way since tonal does not service where I live (puerto Rico). I’m a little worried that it won’t do pull down exercises well but given all the current options it seems like the best option for my scenario. Lifetime subscription is a nice bonus too.

[@Learnwithtravis]

Yeah, pulldown (lat) exercises are not ideal but most others work really well. Hope you like it!

[@dashady187]

I ordered mine at the beginning of Jan and I am still waiting for it to arrive. Still do not have a tracking number, but keep being told it's on its way.

[@Learnwithtravis]

I have a few comments like this so I reached out to Speediance and told them they need to be honest with me. To be honest with you, my contact has been very good to work with and I do believe he is being truthful, but take this however you want. The problem with long wait times is because they are shipping from China to US. This can be a slow process to begin with, but they are running into problems getting through customs as well. They are working to resolve this for existing shipments and hope most are received within the month. To resolve this going forward, they are setting up distribution facilities in the US so they do not have to ship every individual order from China and run into those problems. Hope this helps at least a little. Only the messenger.

You can tilt the screen which makes a bench press even better. Can you do a back squat? Thanks for the review.

[@Learnwithtravis]

Very true! I believe you can as you can hook up the resistance directly below you and to the sides with a barbell. Should work great for that movement.

[@haydar313]

When can we expect your full review to be published?

[@Learnwithtravis]

Goal is not this but the following weekend.

[@matthewmeyer929]

Something I kept hearing in other reviews that scared me away from it is that it definitely isn’t as safe as Tonal, especially using and unloading the barbell. Any pre review thoughts on that?

[@Learnwithtravis]

I plan to test that as it does feel different and a little less controlled than Tonal. But it does have a safety mechanism to shut off if the sides get out of balance and it works really well.

[@lynnfine7708]

Looking forward to the full review. Potential birthday present?

[@Learnwithtravis]

That would be nice birthday gift! We are on a family vacation but hope to work on the full review shortly after getting back!

[@JoshSmith-nn1yx]

Do you go to any conventions? I am curious if you got to see the new Vitruvian accessories that allow for horizontal and vertical training.

[@Learnwithtravis]

No, I do everything from home but that would be neat! I have not tested that yet but do have my eye on it so stayed tuned. Hopefully I can work something out!

[@haydar313]

Any update about the full reviw? It's been over months since your initial review

[@Learnwithtravis]

Unless something crazy happens, 5:00... today.

[@JoeyVaracalli]

How long did it take to get yours in the mail. I ordered mine February 7th and still haven’t got mine

[@Learnwithtravis]

They sent me this unit so I could review it, so I don't know if it was shipped like a regular order. That does seem like a long time though, so I would reach out to support. Congrats on your channels success by the way! If you don't mind, let me know how working with support goes. Helps me create me accurate reviews about the product knowing if they support their customers or not.

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@Learnwithtravis no problem and thank you for the kind words. I still love doing it. But yeah they have been ok all they have is an email and the responses I got were it should arrive in late march then when asked again I got an email response about 3 days later saying mid April so we shall see

[@dashady187]

I ordered mine at the beginning of Jan and still don't have mine either. It makes me feel better that I'm not the only one.

[@dashady187]

@@JoeyVaracalli Exactly the same for me.

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@dashady187 I’m getting pretty upset with the company so far. If I don’t get my tracking number next week I’ll be asking for my money back

[@ahmedshelbaya7643]

I made an order using your code. The lack of follow up and response to my emails in addition to receiving nothing makes me believe this is a scam website. Are you sure this is a proper company

[@Learnwithtravis]

Let me follow up with them. They have been very responsive with any questions I have. I can’t imagine they are a scam because way too much engineering went into the product. I am guessing they are behind fulfilling orders and struggling with questions as a smaller company but let me see what I can find out.

[@Learnwithtravis]

I was a little slow asking this question but did and they got back to me within hours. Here is my post copied from another tread: I have a few comments like this so I reached out to Speediance and told them they need to be honest with me.

[@LarryRichelli]

Speediance = no lat pulldown:(

[@Learnwithtravis]

I know… that is a negative that will be in my comparison.
