Couple things that I edited out for time. These types of products have heavy influencer campaigns (nothing wrong with that), but did want to thank these companies for allowing me to be honest as I've turned down many of these types of products because they often want a paid promotion (which this again was not) in exchange for a positive review. With that said, I think many people with small spaces or needs would benefit from these devices. Of all the things I own, my Motion Space (another similar product I reviewed) gets used the most by my wife because she likes it so much. Time will tell though how long the electronics will last with these products. Also, I just forgot to mention you can stream your music in the Sperax as well, which I thought is a cool feature. If you guys have any questions, I will provide an honest answer with respect to the companies. Thanks as always for watching.

There are so many new cool fitness inventions that let people work out at home.
Loved the 2nd EFX Creatine interview as well!
Awesome channel Mike!

I love that user interface on the sperax. I hate aps and think 90% of them across all products suck.
If they made an upgraded version with 200+ lbs (100 per side) equivalent resistance I bet they'd have a runaway hit. For me, 66 lbs a side isn't enough.

I've had a gym pal since it was released. It works great for accessory exercises, but barbell exercises generally don't feel good.

I would point out that you need to turn off spotter mode when you are doing alternating movements like curls. It's not a fault with the machine, but it will naturally think you have failed when you alternate arms.

Glad to see that they dramatically improved the packaging as the first round of shipments (including mine) had damage to the case.

[Dranomoly]

more of these type of machines would be awesome

[GGhostStudios]

I still think a traditional non electronic cable machine is a safer bet. Especially when pushing to failure. My total gym will never have a motherboard failure, PSU failure, etc….any traditional or as I’m calling them from now on, any analog cable machine shall suffice. But I won’t lie, the small footprint concept of the 2 devices shown is great. But as always mike got great content, appreciate your honest takes, keep it up, god bless bro.

[ECIA]

Great stuff as usual Mike!! Thanks. I honestly think: should you consider a comprehensive smart gym equipment then Monster is probably the best overall option. Should you go for a first smart experience with little footprint, not great expectations, ease of usage, basic exercises, than skip completely the gym pal and start to look at the 500$ space where there are a ton of options. Most probably the one you reviewed today being the go to for versatility/footprint/user friendly. Thanks a lot Mike.

These are interesting. I want to see what happens in this category over the next few years. I want one when it is voice activated instead of that ring thing.

[CJHolcomb]

I saw that there are two new boards coming out in Aug/Sept, on pre-order now - Feier makes them - the NebulaX looks really cool. It would be great to see you review that one!

[Joe.T]

Hey Mike, just wanted to let you know I was having issues with the right side cable of the Sperax and then it stayed stuck and can not be retracted. The user interface was great since you don’t need an app and the left-hand cable was pretty smooth, but they seem to still have serious problems with the right side. Thanks for all the great reviews!

[philip]

Hey Mike, have you had any issues with the sperax after some use? It’s 200 now on Amazon, but read some reviews where the cable breaks. Thanks!

[ChrisSzulwach]

"E-gym or smart gym platforms... I just call them E Fitness Boards for short." Um... is that really short? THANKS FOR THE COMPARISON!

[andrewmeyers]

Great video. Very interested in the products but I wonder which ones have a monthly subscription (that’s kind of a deal breaker for me).

[WandaLam-boxd]

Please review the SOLE SRVO. Its super under covered

[bondo]

I decided to try the Sperax as my first e-platform experience from Amazon being it was on sale. I'm sold on the eccentric and isokinetic modes of these machines, but as with your unit I also found the right side cable hanging up on me. I also found it strange that the included bluetooth remote with the machine only stops resistance and can't be used to start. I'll look to invest in a better smoother machine very soon, so I'm eyeing out the 1200-1500 range Gym Pal/ Squatz Apollo "Motion space clone" or Squatz Mini if the 900 dollar promo price comes back. Which would you recommend? I mainly do functional training for mobility and endurance as required in my day job.

[EmanuelQ]

I just got the Sperax board, is there any good workout plans we can watch on either an app or YouTube to use it with?

[countbelisarius]

How does the Sperax work with a bench ?

[emilyng]

Hey Mike, I have an innodigym that i have been using consistently. And i feel it is an in btwn btwn sperax and the gympal that you mentioned. I got their p1 plus because my smol self will not be able to carry their p1max which weighs 112lbs 🤣🤣

[jaleesa]

Love the whack a mole feature on the sperax 👟 jk. Another great one. 💪🏼

[joseppebatman]

If they could up the weight to like 500 pounds for folks who are intermediate strength level wise these things would be perfect for a small gym space
