August 4, 2025 — Five years ago today, we embarked on a mission to redefine what a home gym could be. What started as a vision to bring intelligent, digital-first fitness into the homes of a few has blossomed into a global movement. As we celebrate our 5th Anniversary, we are humbled, energized, and profoundly grateful to the millions of users in over 50 countries who have joined the Speediance family.
This milestone is a celebration not just of our growth, but of the fundamental belief that continues to drive us: that fitness should be as accessible, intelligent, and flexible as any other aspect of modern life.
The Vision That Drives Us: OWN IT.
When we started in 2020, the fitness industry was still largely defined by cold steel, cumbersome equipment, and generic programming. We saw an opportunity to apply cutting-edge digitalization, precise engineering, and advanced AI to create a truly seamless and personalized workout experience.
Our philosophy is simple, and it’s built into every machine, every line of code, and every personalized workout: We believe in empowering you to OWN IT.
The spirit of “OWN IT” begins with Embracing the future of fitness on your own terms. We empower our users to embrace intelligent, accessible training, starting with our space-saving hardware like the Gym Monster 2. By leveraging cutting-edge digital resistance and AI guidance, Speediance removes the barriers of traditional gyms, giving individuals the power to start and remain consistent with ease. This initial step of choosing a personalized, technology-driven path lays the foundation for a deeply rewarding wellness journey.
This philosophy then transforms into Embodying the strength and focus gained from precision training, leading directly to Excelling in health. When utilizing the system’s real-time VBT and adaptive programs, users embody a mindset of continual progress. This effort results in Excelling beyond mere fitness goals; it achieves holistic well-being. With our ecosystem, including Wellness+, we ensure the commitment to training translates into a higher quality of life, validating the “OWN IT” principle with measurable success and a healthier, stronger future.

Beyond the Machine: Building a Smarter, Healthier World
Our future is not just about improving the hardware; it’s about shaping a holistic health experience. Our goal is to transform Speediance from a smart home gym company into a full-fledged Wellness Ecosystem.
This commitment to the future is demonstrated by our recent strategic partnership with HYROX, the world’s fastest-growing fitness race. This collaboration allows us to bring exclusive, competition-level training programs directly onto the Gym Monster 2 platform, bridging the gap between digital home fitness and real-world athletic performance. This is just one example of how we are creating an inclusive, community-driven experience that pushes the boundaries of home training.
As we look toward the next five years, our mission is clearer than ever: to make advanced, AI-powered health and wellness an accessible, worry-free, and essential part of every individual’s daily life.
