Smart home gym in Estonia — what you can actually buy

Tonal

Tonal is a wall-mounted digital strength trainer and probably the best known name in the category. It is also the one you cannot have: according to Tonal's own support documentation the machine cannot be shipped or installed outside the 50 United States, and no European timeline has been announced. Any Tonal offered in Europe is a private resale, without warranty or service.

Speediance Gym Monster

Gym Monster is a floor-standing all-in-one smart gym, a genuine alternative, and — we will say it plainly — the easiest of these machines to get hold of in the EU. The manufacturer ships to Europe from its own store. The current generation is rated up to 100 kg of digital resistance on the Gym Monster 3 and up to 120 kg on the 3S. The practical difference is not the resistance figure but what happens after the purchase: a direct order from the manufacturer means service and warranty questions travel back to the manufacturer.

That ease of access is exactly why GuardSmart exists in this category. Having compared these machines, we believe AEKE is the strongest of them — and the only reason it was not the obvious choice in Estonia is that nobody was bringing it here, demonstrating it, or standing behind it afterwards. That is the gap we set out to close.

InnoDigym

InnoDigym is a Hong Kong company founded in 2018, with its own production and R&D facility and a portfolio of digital-resistance patents. It exports worldwide, Europe included, and its machines sit in the same all-in-one digital-resistance category as AEKE and Gym Monster. It is a real product from a real factory — the difference you will feel is in finish and in who answers the phone when something needs attention.

AEKE — what we sell

We are the Estonian partner for AEKE. Two machines, both folding, both tracking movement across 42 body points in real time.

Empty cells mean we do not have a figure we can stand behind — we would rather leave a gap than print a number we have not verified.

Where AEKE is genuinely ahead

Digital resistance has become the easy part — several makers now reach 100 kg or more, and comparing that number alone tells you very little. The difference is what the machine knows about you.

• Body composition in the same system. The 8-electrode AEKE scale measures body composition and an armband adds heart rate, so training load and actual change in the body sit in one place instead of three unrelated apps.
• No subscription, ever. AEKE's model is hardware-first: the 320+ movements, 200+ courses, the AI features and the tracking are included in the purchase price, with no monthly fee and no features locked behind a paywall. Worth saying plainly: Speediance also has no mandatory fee, so this is not what separates AEKE from Gym Monster — it is what separates both of them from Tonal, where roughly 95% of the machine sits behind a ~$60 monthly membership. Over three years that is the price of a second machine.
• Assessment that looks at more than strength. Most machines in this class assess your strength and recommend a weight from it. The AEKE S1 Pro runs a six-dimensional assessment on the ACSM framework — body composition, strength, flexibility, posture, endurance and movement patterns — and builds the plan from all six. Flexibility and posture are the two that the competitors' assessments leave out, and they are exactly what decides whether a heavy set is safe for you today. The plan then adjusts as the numbers move, so progress is measured rather than assumed.
• Movement tracking included, not behind a subscription. Camera-based form checking is no longer AEKE's alone — Tonal 2 does it with Smart View and Speediance has Sidekick with 68+ skeletal points. The difference is what it costs you. AEKE tracks 42 body points in the machine's own software, included in the purchase price and working without an internet connection. Speediance's AI motion analysis and AI plan sit under the optional Wellness+ subscription, and no camera ships in the box. On Tonal the whole thing is behind a ~$60 monthly membership — and Tonal does not ship to Europe anyway. Of the machines you can actually buy in Estonia, AEKE is the only one where movement tracking, the assessment-based plan and the progress history all come with the machine, at no extra cost.
• Training the children will actually join in. The K1 carries 10+ motion-based games — boxing, a skiing game, a cardio version of whack-a-mole — that read your movement and turn a session into play. AEKE states plainly that these are there to get the whole family moving, children included, and the machine holds up to 40 separate profiles so everyone keeps their own history. We have not found an equivalent on the other manufacturers' pages: those machines are built around strength training, and a device nobody in the household wants to use is an expensive coat rack. This one matters more than the spec sheet suggests.
• Design and finish. This one is our own judgement rather than a specification: having had these machines side by side, we think AEKE's materials and finish are a step above the category, and that matters for a device that stands in a living room rather than a basement.

Everything above except the last point is a specification you can verify on the manufacturers' own pages — including what Tonal and Speediance do, which we checked rather than assumed. Design and finish is our own judgement and we label it as one.

Why buy locally

A four-thousand-euro machine is not a parcel you want to chase across a border. We arrange a demonstration before you decide, agree delivery and installation for your room, and stay reachable afterwards. We are based in Tartu and serve southern and central Estonia.

Common questions

Can you buy a Tonal in Estonia?

No. According to Tonal's own support documentation the machine cannot be shipped or installed outside the 50 United States, and the company has announced no timeline for Europe. If you are in Estonia, a Tonal is not an option.

Which smart home gyms are actually available in Estonia?

AEKE (which we sell and service), Speediance Gym Monster through the manufacturer's European store, and InnoDigym, a Hong Kong maker that also exports to Europe. Tonal, the best known name of all, does not ship to Europe at all.

How much does a smart home gym cost?

At GuardSmart the AEKE K1 is 3 798 € and the AEKE S1 Pro is 4 199 €. A bench is not included in either machine and can be added as a set.

Is there a monthly subscription?

Not with AEKE. The 320+ movements, 200+ courses, AI coaching and tracking are included in the purchase price and no features are locked behind a monthly fee. Speediance also has no mandatory fee for its basic membership. Tonal does require one, at roughly $60 per month — but Tonal is not sold in Europe in any case.

Which of these machines actually watches how you move?

AEKE tracks 42 body points on the machine itself and corrects form during the set, included in the price. Tonal 2 does the same with Smart View and Speediance with Sidekick and 68+ skeletal points — but on Tonal it sits behind a ~$60 monthly membership and Tonal does not ship to Europe, and on Speediance the AI motion analysis and AI plan require the optional Wellness+ subscription, with no camera in the box. Of the machines you can buy in Estonia, AEKE is the only one where tracking, the plan and the progress history all come with the machine.

Does the machine build the training plan by itself?

The AEKE S1 Pro runs a six-dimensional assessment on the ACSM framework — body composition, strength, flexibility, posture, endurance and movement patterns — and builds the plan from all six, then adjusts it as your numbers move. Competing assessments focus on strength and recommend a weight from it; flexibility and posture are what they leave out.

Is it suitable for the whole family, children included?

The AEKE K1 has 10+ motion-based games and AEKE states these are meant to get the whole family moving, children included. The machine holds up to 40 separate profiles, so each person keeps their own body data and training history.

Can I try the machine before buying?

Yes. We arrange demonstrations in Tartu and across southern and central Estonia. Delivery and installation are agreed separately for each order.
