BUYING ADVICE FOR AUSTRALIAN HOME GYMS
SMART STRENGTH

The smart strength room

Gym Monster 3 Core is the starting point when you already own a suitable bench. Choose Studio for the included incline bench, and leave separate cardio out of the first order unless it already has a place in your week.

Save the list and add your quotes

Save the build, remove anything you already own and add your delivered quotes. Freight, flooring and installation have their own lines in the budget.

Choose the package around what you own

Keep Core when an existing suitable bench covers the work you want to do on the platform. Starting with no bench, Studio is the package to price. Station is worth considering only when you also want its rowing arrangement.

Keep the budget to one package purchase

This saved list starts with Core. If you choose Studio, record the complete Studio quote on the machine line and identify the package in your notes. Remove the separate bench allowance when that bench is already included. The same principle applies to Station and its rowing equipment.

Speediance Australia lists all three packages on the linked product page. The reason to spend more is equipment you need in the package. Paying for a second bench, or for rowing equipment alongside a separate rower you already prefer, adds cost without filling a gap.

Plan the platform open

The operating dimensions are 69 cm wide, 122 cm deep and 185 cm high. The 37 cm folded depth is a storage measurement. Position the open platform, bench and your stance first, with room for the handles to travel. An 82 kg machine also needs a workable delivery route and a place where unfolding it will be routine.

The next purchase can wait

Use the included workouts before deciding whether optional Wellness features earn a recurring fee. Add a Concept2 RowErg if rowing becomes a regular separate activity and the room can provide its recommended 274 × 122 cm working area. Concept2 Australia supplies that buying route. Keeping cardio separate makes sense when you want the independent machine; Station deserves its own package comparison before buying both arrangements.

GM3 provides 100 kg total resistance. The 120 kg specification belongs to the different GM3S model.

05

A separate Concept2 RowErg is a later purchase and is not part of this build’s saved product list.
