Speediance, an AI-powered fitness equipment maker, introduced its Gym Nano portable strength trainer and Speediance Strap wearable at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The products aim to integrate into a broader health ecosystem for home workouts and personalized training insights. Founder Liu Tao emphasized building connected systems that adapt to users' lives.
Speediance revealed the Gym Nano and Speediance Strap during the consumer tech expo in Las Vegas this week, expanding its lineup that includes the Gym Monster 2 smart home gym and the VeloNix AI Smart Bike, which CNET previously named the best AI-powered exercise bike.
The Gym Nano is a compact, motor-driven cable resistance system designed for small spaces, enabling full-body workouts at home without large equipment. It provides up to 220 pounds of resistance in 1-pound increments and features five dynamic modes: Eccentric, Chain, Standard, Fixed Speed, and Sled. This makes strength training more accessible for those with limited room.
Complementing the hardware, the Speediance Strap is a screen-free wearable prototype that tracks sleep, training, core body temperature, exercise types, movement patterns, and training volume. Data syncs to the Speediance Wellness Plus app, offering daily training and recovery suggestions, readiness assessments, and stress detection. Basic insights are free, with premium AI planning available via upgrade.
"Rather than developing products in isolation, we're building a comprehensive training and health ecosystem that adapts to users' real lives," said Liu Tao, Speediance's founder and CEO. He added, "With Speediance Strap, we are exploring how wearable data can function as a decision-support layer within a connected fitness system."
Availability details remain unclear for the Gym Nano, while the Strap is slated for a Kickstarter launch in spring 2026. TechRadar noted the Strap as a rival to Whoop, highlighting its familiar design in the crowded fitness tracker market.
