[@Kjk-lb1ox]

Great review and I loved the cut scene of you arguing with the auto tracker! 😂

[@TheJungleGymReviews]

thanks! I was trying to film a whole 20 minute segment of live first use and it failed miserably, so all I ended up was bits and pieces of really terrible angles so at least I caught that argument haha. Glad my pain was comedic relief in retrospect!

[@rambojohn7118]

Your another KZbinr that got the machine free! How I know is that Speediance gave you the Bluetooth smart handles which aren’t available for paying customers yet until maybe December.

[@TheJungleGymReviews]

Yep, Speediance did send me the machine (including the smart handles) to review! Most of the equipment on my channel is from companies who send out equipment to review but don't restrict any of the honesty and integrity of my feedback. It's typically a win-win as the companies get the the views and exposure good or bad, and I get to provide my personal candid experience.

Getting ready to order one of these so I subscribed. Debating on whether I need the rowing machine. I’ve watched like 6 videos related to this and there are lots of complaints about the benches so that might be something else to buy.

[@TheJungleGymReviews]

The rowing machine is better than I anticipated but obviously would still prefer a standalone rower if money and space was no object, but it feels very very similar to the average person. Second, the good news for the bench is that benches are relatively cheap for a decent one, the bad news is for a $3000 system, it should already have a decent bench! Definitely not a dealbreaker though in my opinion but to each their own.

[@benjaminlim328]

there is a stand underneath the seat. take a look

[@TheJungleGymReviews]

If there is, this is exactly what I was complaining about the lack of instructions!! I’ll check it out, thanks

[@donmarrow7158]

Any other machine you’d consider over this? How are the workouts? I don’t plan on following one but my wife was leaning towards a Tonal because of those.

[@TheJungleGymReviews]

Right now for the similar price per functionality I would look at this or Tonal. However the tonal is significantly more expensive upfront AND cost astronomically more over time for the classes, albiet I bet they are top notch. The Tonal is $4000+$500 for accessories and $60/mo subscription required The Speediance is $3000-4000 but includes everything you need and has 370 classes for free right now since their machines are currently including a lifetime warranty. That reason alone would be a huge incentive to do Speediance over Tonal, unless you don't plan to use classes ever and only the free lift modes of the two, then you can compare on pricing directly. I think the downsize to the Speediance is it is a newer brand but it has a 2 years warranty instead of Tonal 1 year as well. The only real workout benefit I see if that the tonal can go wider for chest flies otherwise I think the Speediance is better value as of now on paper

[@AmirKweli]

The other thing that you should keep in mind is that tonal is mounted while the speeding isn’t. You’ll need service to install/move tonal

[@TheJungleGymReviews]

@AmirKweli that’s a good point too. Ability to service is definitely generally a pro, although it means it does take up some more floor area than a wall mounted version. So pros and cons for both but important to consider for sure

[@UnitedStates.]

For $1,000 extra is the v2 worth it? I am torn between the 2

[@AmirKweli]

@@UnitedStates. that would be a personal choice, weigh the pros and cons with what you want out of each machine.
