Must have for weight lifting

Tonal is the best thing to happen to my strength. The machine is irreplaceable and I love the functions in the app from the side view camera to creating your own workouts to tying into Apple Health

Love the programs

I love all the programs this app offers with the Tonal. I also like that I can tailor each daily workout to fit my schedule and design custom workouts. My entire family uses the tonal. Saves is so much time being able to workout at home.

Gcoggin

I’ve been a gym rat for five decades and Tonal is by far the most complete, safest and convenient training platform I’ve ever experienced!

Best Investment

I’ve owned Tonal since 2022, and it’s easily one of the best investments I’ve ever made. The convenience alone is worth it. Being able to roll out of bed, work out in my pajamas, and get on with my day has saved me countless hours and a lot of money on gym memberships and commuting.

One of my favorite parts of Tonal is having access to world class coaches right at home. Tony Horton is my favorite, and it genuinely feels like having a personal trainer whenever I need one.

What continues to impress me is how much the platform offers beyond strength training. Even after years of using it, I’m still discovering new features. I recently found the guided meditation sessions, which reminded me that I’ve barely scratched the surface of everything Tonal can do.

If you’re looking for a smart home gym that keeps getting better over time, I can’t recommend Tonal enough. Five stars.

Love this App!

I’ve used other workout apps before and nothing compares to Tonal’s App. It’s very user friendly, navigation is great and there aren’t as many crashes of the app like other apps I’ve used! Great App - Great Strength training system! Worth the investment into my personal health and fitness journey!

Frustrating Coaching Tips

I feel like the coaching tips are very poorly organized. It will yell at you for not pulling the handle enough, even when you’re well past your rep range and doing half reps. In fact, it often tells me to do chest flys to a point that would *guarantee* a shoulder injury. I find this extremely irresponsible for a product designed for brand-new lifters who are probably going to hurt themselves doing this. Extremely annoying especially when the voice comes up in the middle of your set and throws you off, I don’t think there’s even a way to turn the voice feature off.

Changed to one star from three because they added an annoying AI assistant.

Getting Pumped!

Loving our Tonal ! It the best home gym anyone could ever ask for! Get yours today 💪🏽🏋🏽‍♀️👍🏽

Needs a mirroring capability

Great machine but Tonal really needs a second screen or companion display mode in the app. So many exercises require facing away from the machine, and then you can’t see the rep count, timer, tempo cues, weight, or next move without twisting around or stopping mid-set. The app should be able to show the active workout screen on a phone or tablet.

5 Years Strong

One of the best fitness apps and machines out there!!!

Great machine

Love the unit. We use it daily for full body workouts.

TIA Half-baked

Don’t normally leave reviews, but you’ve rushed to put out a half-baked TIA, I think in response to an open source project that actually integrates with your APIs better, and provides more insight into trends over time and areas to work on.

TIA can barely create workouts. It’s failed to create workouts for me on multiple occasions and just spits out text for me to go enter for a custom workout. It appears to be limited by whatever algorithm is already generating “daily workouts” instead of building a dedicated MCP and giving TIA the tools it needs to build workouts itself.

By the time I’m done fighting with TIA to create something worthwhile, I could have been halfway through a workout. Very frustrating experience.

Further, it’s limited to 15(!) workout lookback, cannot tell me my E1RM on and lift, and cannot tell me really anything useful.

Best way to lift weights

No more sharing equipment at the gym, go down to my basement and get it done and I love that tonal knows the weights to choose for me and push me beyond what I thought possible. Very happy with this purchase!

PLEASE FIX

Mostly good. Custom workout moves needs fixed urgently! I only do custom workouts not the classes(wish didn’t have to have a sub for custom workout) and I use 3 custom moves in my workouts. I do seated cable rows, seated back extension, and seated facepulls as a custom rope moves using a canvas strap I bought on amazon. IT NEVER SAVES THE WEIGHT I USED FOR CUSTOM EXERCISES MOVES. I always have to manually reselect a weight for the custom moves the next time I do the workout. Ofc I don’t have them memorized so I have to stop mid workout to pull up last workout in Tonal app on my phone to read what weights I used last time I did that workout. It’s super annoying. PLEASE FIX THAT🙏! Also it’d be great if we could choose muscles worked for the custom moves.

Game changer

There’s not too many products I’ve purchased, and I can confidently say have impacted my life as much as Tonal has. Highly recommended.

Lives up to its name

This thing has changed my life. I am 32 and in the best shape of my life! I’ve lost more than 10lbs after plateauing 2.5 years postpartum. I could say so much more but it’s too much to put into a review. Just wish they sold apparel :)

Boom

Tonal is killer. Get one

Mad

Great stuff!

The program is great!

Gave it a legitimate shot for three months doing the Joe Rodonis 12 weeks to jacked program and it significantly transformed my body.

The BEST

I have been working out on the tonal for almost three years and I absolutely love the convenience and results it offers. I am in the best shape of my life right now!

Best. Home Gym. Ever.

I’m on a 200 week streak, and can honestly say that Tonal is the best home gym of all time. Staying consistent is easy. Tracking workouts is gamified and entertaining. The world class coaches are amazing. Tonal makes getting jacked way too easy. Great work, team!
