Speediance, a leader in smart fitness innovation, returns to CES 2026 for the second consecutive year, unveiling an expanded vision for smart training and wellness powered by connected hardware, versatile training modalities, and AI-driven insights. The company’s presence underscores its strategic evolution from standalone fitness devices toward an integrated, system-wide approach to long-term health optimization.
Prototype Innovations Point to Future of Fitness
At CES 2026, Speediance is presenting two forward-looking products alongside its established ecosystem:
Gym Nano: A compact, motor-driven cable training system engineered for high-performance strength training in flexible and mobile environments
Speediance Strap: An innovative wearable prototype that explores how continuous physiological and behavioral data can inform personalized health and training recommendations throughout daily life
These prototypes complement Speediance’s current flagship products, including the Gym Monster 2, the all-in-one smart home gym and VeloNix, the connected indoor bike, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to expanding capabilities across diverse hardware platforms and user interaction models.
Enhanced Training Capabilities and AI Integration
Speediance continues to broaden its training delivery through both software innovations and strategic accessories. The Gym Monster 2 now incorporates Pilates functionality via the Speediance Pilates Set, bringing functional, low-impact, and mobility-focused training to users’ homes in a streamlined format that complements existing strength and cardio capabilities.
Central to the ecosystem expansion is Wellness+, Speediance’s AI-driven health guidance platform that serves as the intelligent foundation of the connected fitness experience. By transforming complex data into clear, actionable insights, Wellness+ empowers users to make informed decisions about training, recovery, and daily wellness habits while promoting consistency and sustainable progress.
Vision for Connected Fitness Future
“CES provides the ideal platform to demonstrate how these interconnected elements function as a unified system,” said Speediance Founder and CEO Liu Tao. “Rather than developing products in isolation, we’re building a comprehensive training and health ecosystem that adapts to users’ real lives and empowers better decision-making over time.”
The CES 2026 showcase represents Speediance’s holistic approach to fitness technology, where hardware innovation, diverse training methodologies, and artificial intelligence converge to create more personalized and effective wellness experiences.
Looking forward, Speediance will continue refining the integration of these elements based on real-world user feedback, guided by its mission to transform home fitness beyond individual devices toward more cohesive, sustainable, and intelligence-driven experiences.

Today Google has announced Nano Banana Pro, their latest and most powerful image generation and editing model yet, built on Gemini 3 Pro.
They are bringing Nano Banana Pro to many of the Google surfaces where the original model is already available:
Consumers and students: Available now in the Gemini app under the ‘Thinking’ toggle alongside Nano Banana (with limited free quotas before reverting to Nano Banana), in Search’s AI Mode for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S. and in NotebookLM.
Professionals: Available to Workspace customers in the Gemini app and in Google Slides.
Advertisers: Google is upgrading image generation in Google Ads to Nano Banana Pro to put cutting-edge creative and editing power directly into the hands of advertisers globally.
Developers and enterprise: Accessible via the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, and in Google Antigravity; enterprises can use it in Gemini Enterprise and Vertex AI for scaled creation.
Creatives: In Flow, the AI filmmaking tool, Nano Banana Pro gives creatives, filmmakers and marketers even more precision and control over their frames and scenes, coming first to Ultra subscribers.
In addition, Google is expanding their commitment to transparency by launching a new feature in the Gemini app. Users will be able to upload any image and instantly ask if it was generated by Google AI, thanks to their embedded SynthID watermarking technology. As a result, they are removing the visible watermark from images generated by Google AI Ultra tier users in the Gemini app.

Earlier this year we launchedNano Banana(Gemini 2.5 Flash Image). It became the top rated image model in the world, and we were excited to see the overwhelming response from our customers. For enterprises, Nano Banana made it dramatically easier – and more fun – to edit images with natural language and make visuals with consistent characters.
Today, we’re announcing Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image), our state-of-the art image generation and editing model, in Gemini Enterprise, Google Workspace, and Vertex AI. Nano Banana Pro excels in visual design, world knowledge, and text generation, making it easier for enterprises to:
Deploy localized global campaigns faster. The model supports text rendering in multiple languages. You can even take an image and translate the text inside it, so your creative work is ready for other countries immediately.
Create more accurate, context-rich visual assets. Because Nano Banana Pro connects to Google Search, it understands the real world context. This means you can generate maps, diagrams, and infographics that get the facts and details right — perfect for training manuals or technical guides where accuracy matters.
Maintain stronger creative control and brand fidelity. The model allows you to upload up to 14 reference images, which means you can load a full style guide simultaneously—including logos, color palettes, character turnarounds, and product shots. This ensures the model has the complete context needed to match your brand identity. Need to refine the result? Just describe the change using natural language to add, remove, or replace details. Nano Banana Pro supports up to 4K images for a higher level of detail and sharpness across multiple aspect ratios.
Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana are designed to power a complete creative workflow. Start with Nano Banana for high-velocity ideation, then transition to Nano Banana Pro when you need the highest fidelity for production-ready assets.
Supporting your commercial needs: Both models fall under our shared responsibility framework, and you can ensure transparency and responsible use with built-in SynthID watermarking on every generated asset. We’re committed to supporting your commercial needs with copyright indemnification coming at general availability.
What Nano Banana Pro can do for businesses
Nano Banana Pro builds on the incredible speed of the original model, but adds the precision needed for businesses. Marketing teams can use it to generate assets that are immediately campaign-ready and on-brand to quickly iterate on ideas, saving hours of manual review, reducing production cost, and allowing your team to focus on strategy and final creative oversight. Designers can now accelerate concepts and prototyping by rendering a 3D image from a simple sketch or diagram.
Advanced translation and localization: Marketers, you know how important – and difficult – it can be to translate your campaign into another language. Scaling a global campaign traditionally requires massive budgets and coordination with external agencies. Now, you can easily translate and regenerate assets—allowing you to expand your global footprint without expanding your bottom line.
Search Grounding: Nano Banana Pro can use Google Search to research topics based on your query, and reason on how to present factual and grounded information.
Advanced composition: Add up to 14 input reference images to combine elements, blend scenes, and transfer designs to create something entirely new. Nano Banana Pro maintains the quality of a developed asset but delivers it in minutes.
Advanced text rendering: Generate clear, accurate text within images, unlocking use cases for product mockups, posters, and educational diagrams. This could include natural text placement (e.g., wrapping text around an object) and support for various fonts and styles.
How customers are already using Nano Banana Pro
Nano Banana Pro is becoming an essential infrastructure layer for the creative economy, powering the design platforms that creatives rely on. By integrating our models directly into their workflows, we are helping industry leaders like Adobe, Figma, and Canva deliver next-generation AI capabilities. Here’s what they have to say about building on our foundation:
While platforms build the tools, the world’s leading agencies and brands are delivering results. We’re moving from experimentation to enterprise-grade production, where efficiency and performance shine.
