Speediance Gym Monster 3 & Ultra: Why I'm Keeping My 2S

I own the original Speediance Gym Monster and a Gym Monster 2S. Here is my take on the Gym Monster 3, 3S and Ultra, why I am keeping my 2S for now, and what the expanding lineup means for buyers.

I cover resistance limits, upgrade timing, the bar-tilt software issue I have experienced, native and community-built voice control, Gym Nano versus VOLTRA, pricing, and a brief update on Speediance's upcoming wearable.

This is owner commentary based on the product information available on September 23, 2026, not a hands-on review of the new machines. Future models and features discussed are my expectations, not confirmed announcements. Prices and availability shown may change.
