- Speediance is cheaper to buy. We are cheaper to own. The gap closes as soon as you add shipping and the subscription for their AI add-on.
- We have no subscription fees. None at all. All AI features, all programs and all nine profiles are included in the price, forever.
- Delivery 650 ₪, including carry-in — and the machine arrives assembled. It is not a separate line on the bill.
- IMBODY Power S Pro sells for ₪21,900 (ours: 18,600 ₪), and it has no subscription either — but no camera, and no way to move it between rooms.
- Compared with a gym membership, there's no one answer for everyone. It depends on the membership price, how many people at home train, and how far you drive to the gym: a couple with two memberships reaches the break-even point much faster than a single trainee. Our calculation counts only money — membership and fuel — and the time you save isn't priced. There's a calculator below that will tell you exactly, based on your own numbers.
Why the sticker price is misleading
A home strength machine isn't something you buy and are done with. It has four cost items that keep running after the purchase, and only one of them appears on the price list:
- Delivery. A machine this heavy doesn't come by post. With a personal import, it's a separate expense, and sometimes a significant one.
- Assembly. The machine itself arrives assembled, but benches and stands need assembly. With a clear guide and videos it takes about twenty minutes; without them, it's a whole evening.
- Subscription. With some manufacturers, part of the software is locked behind a monthly payment. It's a small amount that adds up to a large one.
- Warranty and service. Who shows up when something stops working, and how quickly. With a personal import, usually — nobody.
With us delivery is 650 ₪ and includes carry-in, assembly is simple and comes with instructional videos, there is no subscription, and the warranty is us — an official importer with service in Israel.
A machine that costs less but requires ₪49 a month costs more. That's the whole story, spread over five years.
The calculator: when it pays for itself
Instead of us telling you what a gym membership costs — you tell us. Enter the price you pay today, and how many people at home would train:
The calculation doesn't include travel, parking or time. For most people, those are the items that actually tip the scales.
The three machines, total cost of ownership
This table doesn't compare sticker prices. It compares how much you'll actually spend over five years, assuming you want everything the machine can do.

The subscription — the item nobody calculates
A monthly subscription is the easiest thing to ignore when you buy, and the hardest to ignore in year three. A home fitness machine is supposed to be the opposite of a subscription — that's why people buy one.
With Speediance, the base works without a subscription, but the AI add-on requires a monthly payment. IMBODY has no subscription at all, and that's a real advantage worth saying out loud. And with us — the analysis, programs, form correction, six-dimension assessment and nine profiles are all included, and will never be charged for in the future.
Do the math yourself: every ₪50 a month adds up to ₪3,000 over five years. That's no longer a small item — that's a full extended warranty to 5 years.
Where we're not the cheapest
If the only line that interests you is how much comes out of your pocket on the day you buy — Speediance is cheaper. That's a fact, and we have no intention of hiding it behind a table.
What we do argue is that this line doesn't tell the whole story: they have no camera, no real-time form correction, and a subscription for the AI add-on. If those features don't interest you — they really are the cheaper option, and we'll tell you so over the phone too.
