AEKE in Germany: an announcement, and what their store shows.

Speediance's announcement, 5 September 2026

Speediance announced on 5 September 2026, through PR Newswire, that the Cologne Regional Court (Landgericht Köln, case 31 O 132/26) upheld an interim injunction against AEKE for infringing Speediance's registered design in Germany, and that it requires removal of the disputed products and marketing materials from the German market.

Read the release on PR Newswire
Our note

An interim injunction isn't a final judgment, and it can be appealed. The announcement doesn't name a model. We checked again on 4 October 2026 and found no further public information.

What we saw on AEKE's European store

On 4 October 2026 AEKE's European store didn't offer the S1 Pro or the B3 Flat Bench for delivery to Germany. Its other 23 products, including the K1, were available for Germany, and the S1 Pro was available in the Netherlands, France and Austria. We don't know why.

On 18 September 2026 their checkout also refused an S1 Pro basket with a German delivery address.

Read again on 7 October 2026: orderable on AEKE's European store, but not for delivery to Germany.

Couldn't switch the weight off in time

In a filmed chest press, with the Bluetooth ring not working, a YouTube reviewer couldn't find the handle button to switch the weight off quickly enough, and the load yanked the reviewer's arm back.

On 6 October the reviewer still didn't trust the safety cut-off enough to go under the bar, and had someone else switch the weight on and off for chest presses with the bar.

Here's what happened when our owners needed a fix.

Wer dagegen neu einsteigt, sollte zur dritten Generation greifen: Sie ist an mehreren entscheidenden Punkten das klar bessere Gerät.
A trade-show hands-on, not a full review. In short: if you're starting out, go for the third generation; on several key points it's clearly the better machine. Gym Monster 2 owners, it adds, have no pressing reason to switch.
Read it on smartzone.de

The Gym Monster 3 and Ultra launched on 31 August 2026, the generation after the Gym Monster 2 these outlets reviewed. First hands-on impressions come from IFA and the launch event; full independent reviews are still to come.

Scores and quotes as each outlet published them. Every review on this page is of the Gym Monster 2; the smartzone.de piece is a trade-show hands-on of the Gym Monster 3.

Speediance owner reports: repairs and support
Our service

These owners needed a fix. They got one.

Any machine can need a repair. What counts is what happens next. Here's what these owners wrote on our own Trustpilot profiles, each one linked.

Speediance owner

The engineer was booked for the 21st Nov, parts arrived that day and all fixed within an hour, some parts didn't need replacing but were replaced as a precaution and to make sure the device was a refreshed as possible. At this price point the service needs to be as good as the product and on this occasion it certainly was.

... Even though it was the end of the year, he arranged a brand-new display that arrived within just 3 days. That level of customer support during the holidays is truly impressive.

From start to finish my whole experience with speediance has been first class. Issues happen, it's about how they're dealt with and when I had a problem with the delivery it was sorted immediately, no fuss, no hesitation

Speediance owner

After two years, the machine functions just as well as it did when we got it. Customer service is very responsive and helpful. When we experienced a software issue, the issue was resolved promptly.

Price the years, not just the sticker.

Ask who repairs it in your home, where its parts ship from, who answers when you call, and whether the next owner gets the warranty. Then look at the sticker.

I have since cancelled my gym membership as this machine covers everything I need.

19

Cable positions on the Gym Monster 3 and 3S, at 7.5 cm spacing, up from 11 on the Gym Monster 2, plus a bottom position

The overhead pull, for the machine you already own.

Extension Arms route both cables over your head on a machine you've already got. They fit the Gym Monster, Gym Monster 2, 2S, 3 and 3S. They're 2.1 m tall and need a 2.2 m ceiling. They don't fit the Ultra, which has its own built-in lat pulldown arms.

Looking at another machine? Ask these three questions first.

This page compares Speediance with the two machines buyers ask us about most, the AEKE S1 Pro and the Innodigym Omni X1. It doesn't cover every machine on the market. Whatever else you're looking at, ask three things, and get the answers in writing: who stocks spare parts in your country, who comes to your home if it can't be fixed remotely, and what software is included and for how long. Here's what we put in writing.

Spare parts

Spare parts ship from Auckland.

Home visits

Premium Care comes free with the Gym Monster 3, 3S and Ultra: two years of in-home repair by certified technicians, after we've tried to fix it remotely. Coverage: New Zealand-wide, focused on metropolitan areas. Very remote areas may carry a surcharge. For machines bought direct from us.

Software

The training library, your plans and your history are free for life with your machine. Updates are included, with no subscription.

Questions

Questions people ask before buying.

Why choose Speediance over AEKE or Innodigym?

The Gym Monster 3 is the one we'd choose, because of what's in writing. It comes with two years of in-home repair by certified technicians, with Premium Care, and so do the 3S and Ultra. Coverage: New Zealand-wide, focused on metropolitan areas. Very remote areas may carry a surcharge. For machines bought direct from us. Your warranty passes to the next owner if you sell; AEKE's and Innodigym's published warranties apply to the original purchaser only. Spare parts ship from Auckland. Call us on 04 888 8181, or use WhatsApp, email and live chat.

Can I see one before I buy?

Yes. Book a free live online demo and see the machine from home, with one of our team.

Should I buy the Gym Monster 2 or the Gym Monster 3?

The 3 is the one we'd choose for its 23.8-inch, 2560 x 1440 screen and 19 cable positions at 7.5 cm spacing (up from 11), plus a bottom position. The 2 is the machine six outlets have reviewed, with a 21.5-inch screen and 400+ workouts. Both prices are live in the range above. The Gym Monster 2 includes a two-year warranty and in-home servicing. See its product page for the terms.

What's the difference between the 3 and the 3S?

It's the same machine. The 3 has dual 800 W motors and 100 kg of resistance; the 3S has dual 1000 W motors and 120 kg.

Is the Gym Monster Ultra worth the step up?

Get it if you want pull-ups and vertical pulling built in. It has 120 kg of digital resistance, a built-in multi-grip pull-up bar and true vertical lat pulldowns from an integrated overhead station, with 33 cable positions: 1 at the top, 27 vertical and 5 at the bottom. Accessories change one-handed and the platform unlocks by foot. It measures 166 x 85 x 225 cm without the lat pulldown arms (227 cm tall with them), weighs 125 kg and folds to 0.59 m² with arms. Its library has 800+ movements, 100+ courses and 40+ programs.

How much resistance do I get?

Up to 120 kg on the Gym Monster 3S and Ultra, and 100 kg on the Gym Monster 3 and the Gym Nano. That's 20 kg more on the 3S and Ultra than the 100 kg AEKE quotes for the S1 Pro, and the same top figure Innodigym claims for the Omni X1.

Do I need a subscription?

No. The full training library, your plans and your complete training history are free for life with your machine, and software updates are included; the machine tells you when one's available. Wellness Plus is an optional AI coach.

What does the warranty cover?

Every Gym Monster has a 24-month warranty on the motor, screen and power supply, on top of your statutory rights, and it passes to the next owner if you sell. Resistance cables wear with normal use and that wear isn't covered; replacement parts are available. Premium Care adds two years of in-home repair to the Gym Monster 3, 3S and Ultra, and if it can't be repaired, we replace the machine.

How does delivery work?

Machines ship from Auckland. Allow 1 to 2 business days to process, then 2 to 4 business days to the North Island and 3 to 6 to the South Island. Shipping is calculated at checkout. Pre-order dispatch dates are on each product page.

How much space does it need?

The Gym Monster 3 folds to 37 cm deep and 0.26 m² of floor. Open, it's 122 x 69 x 185 cm, where 122 cm is the depth into the room. It's freestanding: Tom's Guide notes it doesn't need to be bolted to a wall. The Ultra is 166 x 85 x 225 cm without the lat pulldown arms and folds to 0.59 m² with them. The Gym Nano weighs 8.2 kg.

What's the Gym Nano for?

Training away from a full station. It weighs 8.2 kg and gives 100 kg of smart resistance in 0.45 kg steps, with 5.1 m of cable at up to 6.4 m/s, at 60 dB. The magnetic mount is coming later, and the Bluetooth Ring comes in the Advanced Accessory Pack. It has a 2-year warranty on the main unit and 1 year on accessories, ropes and the battery.

What are the Extension Arms, and do I need them?

They route both cables overhead on a machine you've already got, for true vertical lat pulldowns. They fit the Gym Monster, Gym Monster 2, 2S, 3 and 3S, stand 2.1 m tall and need a 2.2 m ceiling. They don't fit the Ultra, which has its own built-in lat pulldown arms. They're coming soon: join the waiting list on the Extension Arms page.

What's the Cologne court case about?

Speediance announced on 5 September 2026, through PR Newswire, that the Cologne Regional Court (Landgericht Köln, case 31 O 132/26) upheld an interim injunction against AEKE for infringing Speediance's registered design in Germany. Our note: an interim injunction isn't a final judgment, and it can be appealed; the announcement doesn't name a model. Separately, on 4 October 2026 AEKE's European store didn't offer the S1 Pro for delivery to Germany, and we don't know why. Read the full account and sources.
