Speediance’s booth at CES 2026 looked more like a mini-lab than a gym. The smart-home brand quietly rolled out two pocket-friendly devices designed to slot into crowded apartments and busy schedules alike.
Gym Nano
The Gym Nano is a motor-driven cable station no wider than a laptop. It delivers up to 220 lb of adjustable resistance in 1-lb steps and cycles through five dynamic modes:
- Eccentric – adds load on the return
- Chain – varies resistance through the rep
- Standard – classic constant weight
- Fixed Speed – pace-locked for tempo work
- Sled – simulates push resistance
CEO Liu Tao says the goal is “a comprehensive training and health ecosystem that adapts to users’ real lives.” The Nano joins the existing Gym Monster 2 rig, letting owners mix big and micro setups without extra subscriptions.
Speediance Strap
The Speediance Strap skips screens and instead tracks sleep, core body temperature, and workout load. Data uploads to the Speediance Wellness Plus app, which then flags whether you’re primed for a heavy session or need recovery.
The band detects:
- Movement patterns during endurance or strength work
- Training volume and intensity shifts
- Daily readiness scores
- Stress spikes that warrant extra rest
Basic daily insights stay free; long-term analytics and AI planning sit behind a paid Wellness Plus tier. Tao frames the Strap as “a decision-support layer within a connected fitness system, rather than isolated metrics.”

Key Takeaways
- Gym Nano brings true 220-lb cable training to dorm-room footprints
- Strap converts raw biometrics into daily workout or recovery calls
- Both devices share one app, letting data from each refine the other’s advice
- Company keeps core metrics free, reserving deeper AI for paid users
Speediance’s CES pitch is simple: pair the Nano for space-starved strength work with the Strap for data-driven decisions, and your living-room gym starts thinking for itself.
