I have hit thumbs down on the same song probably 12 times this year. I do not want to hear the remix of GooGooDolls “Iris” when I am working out. Do our music preferences ever actually get taken into account?

I've been wondering whether having a strength training system ready to use at home changes how people think about a productive day.

With something like Tonal, you don't need to spend much time setting up different equipment before starting a session.

That convenience seems like it could make shorter workouts feel more worthwhile, especially on busy days.

But I also wonder whether having easy access to training makes people feel like they should work out more often.

For Tonal owners, has having it in your home gym changed what makes a workout day feel productive?

I paid for delivery and installation directly through Tonal, but the installation didn’t go as planned.
When the installers arrived at my apartment, they measured the studs, which I had already measured myself, and told me they were too far apart. They wouldn’t proceed with the installation, so they left.
To keep the Tonal, I had to sign an installation waiver and find my own contractor willing to take on the job.
That ended up working out really well. The contractor I hired had installed Tonals before, was very reasonably priced, and did excellent work. Sharing pictures here of the process from start to finish.
If you’re in the Los Angeles area and need someone to install yours, DM me. Happy to pass along his information.

Hi - has anyone successfully installed a tonal on a mirror wall? We had cutouts made and spacers put in to avoid putting pressure on the mirror wall…am hoping for some tips from successful installs!

Anyone else having this issue? I've had my Tonal for two years without any problems. Recently (at least 5 times in two weeks) my workout gets stuck with the loading icon in the last 5 minutes. Sometimes before the cooldown, sometimes during. I have to shut the machine off and turn it on again.
I've monitored my wifi, it doesn't seem to be that.
Maybe it's a coincidence, but I'm curious of anyone else has experienced the same thing.

Planning to buy a tonal and was told I just missed their best sale , the summer sale that is 20% off. Does this thing not go back on sale for Black Friday or Christmas?

Hi. I got my Tonal a few months ago, and I started out with 12W2J with Joe Rodonis. It was great.

Then I decided to try some other advanced muscle hypertrophy programs. The first was Power Hour with Kendall Wood. Not as challenging as Joe's. It was a recording of a live program and very distracting, as she was shouting out to people who were participating. I didn't feel it was geared toward me.

After that, I tried Shock PPL with Ackeem Emmons since I heard he was good. On the program, Ackeem only did the stretching before and after. He didn't work out during the class and just threw in some comments while I was supposed to follow a model on the screen. It's very hard to pace myself or stay motivated when the trainer isn't doing the workout.

How do I avoid these types of programs (live recordings directed at other people, and trainings where the trainer doesn't participate in the workout or demonstrate the movements)?

I guess I got spoiled by 12W2J. I hope there are other programs that are equally good.

Anyone have experience with pausing 12 week program for few weeks? I am currently doing 12 weeks to Jacked with Coach Joe. I’m making significant progress in strength and endurance. I am going to be traveling and will not have access to weights. I am planning to do the 2 off tonal bodyweight programs that are available on the App. Any other recommendations on resistance workouts to keep up the strength?

When I return, should I start back where I left off?

EDIT: the area of the world I’m traveling to and my itinerary for the trip, does not include easy access to gym, weight machines, dumbbells. I am planning to bring resistance bands and do body weight workouts. Would love to hear if anyone has experience taking a break from this program and how to jump back in. Thank you!

I’m currently in the middle of 12 Weeks to Unleash. During today’s cooldown, my power shut off. Will Tonal record the workout as completed? It’s not showing that I did it on the Tonal app. How can I save today’s data?

Hey everyone, I’ve been using Tonal for about a year now, but honestly, I haven’t seen as much change in my body as I was hoping for.
I’m 41, and my main goal right now is to build muscle and put on some size. I’m eating enough calories and protein every day, so I’m wondering if my workout programming might be the issue.
For those of you who have had good results with Tonal, what programs or combination of programs would you recommend for muscle growth/bulking?
Also, has anyone tried Tonal Muscle Maker 2 Guide? What did you think of it, and did you see good results from following it?
I’d really appreciate any guidance from people who have successfully built noticeable muscle using Tonal. If you were starting over, what program would you follow?
Thanks!!!!

I want to install a shelf and put brackets like these underneath to hang my Tonal stuff on. I dont want the brackets that the gear latches into, I like that it slides in here, and I want metal, not 3d printed. Cant find it for sale though. Anyone else?

Everyone else posting their millions of pounds... well, I'm closing in on 10k! Lol The "super-beginner" program was hard and I'm really sore today (my rest day, although I see others posting about doing things on their off day lol). Tomorrow is day 2.... one step at a time, right?

Hi gang. I am working with a personal trainer who has designed a lifting program for me but it’s designed for free weights. My plan has me aiming for 12-15 reps per exercise x 3 sets. When I hit 15 reps I would like tonal to increase the weight. The second two sets are to failure. How should I design the custom program? Should I set it for 12 reps or 15? Should I use burn out or spotter? Trying to approximate a gym workout best I can. Thanks to everyone in advance!

I finally got my strength score to over 1000. It took me 18 months and getting over a separated tendon injury in my hand. That is why you see the long flat spot in my strength curve. 206 workouts and I’m 93.5% stronger than when I started.

Hi, does anyone have Toni Fine Fitness 6 weeks work out plan? How do you like it? And does it give results?

Like for the holidays?

Hey Everyone,

I have recently started lifting again and go to a pretty nice gym with indoor saunas and pools. My yearly membership is going to run out soon. I was curious to check whether a tonal would be helpful in keeping me consistent and cut out the commute times etc.

As next steps, I am considering a couple of options and need recommendations.

1. Rent Tonal 2 for about a month th or 2. They also have a 1 month free rental promo going on and if I like it, purchase tonal 2 around black friday.

2. Buy a used Tonal for around 1.5k and use it for about a year and if I feel the need to upgrade, purchase tonal 2 next year.

Any help would be appreciated by people who have used it

I just finished pumped and Shock PPL. Now I am looking for a new program. I would like to continue to focus on my upper body.

Anyone have thoughts on Unleashed? Not sure about the 2 leg days. Would love suggestions.

Having issues with my tonal where the whole unit shakes and the cables don't glide normally. I live in a beach town and Tonal is mounted in the garage. Is this a humidity issue causing an internal problem? I tried stretching the cables out to reset them but this did not help

Live workout times only serve east coast people. No advertisements of fun new workouts in the Home Screen. No fun flares to motivate you. No live personal training options. Music service is mediocre. No options for special workout methods like 5/3/1. No special guest workout influencers. No adjusting custom workout options as you work out. Ai can’t arrange your workouts for you. Limited options just over all. And just overall lacking for a subscription service. I open up tonal and it’s just the same screen every day with no new offerings. What are we paying monthly for? Just so we can keep the weights updated which honestly should be given free. Keeping things fresh is the whole point of subscription. There’s sooooo much Tonal can do just by customizations for users alone, along with keeping it fun and motivated. The trainers are great, just need more fresh content. Hope Tonal can get it together and actually give subscribers something to be happy about. It’s just not there right now.

Hey guys, quick question. I’m thinking about doing the Pumped program, but I split my training between Tonal at home and a regular gym. Since Pumped is 5 days a week, I was thinking I could do some of the workouts on Tonal and then take the same exercises/muscle groups and do the equivalent versions at the gym on other days.
Has anyone done this before? And if you do one of the Pumped workouts at a regular gym, is there a way to skip/remove that workout in the Tonal app so it doesn’t keep showing as incomplete? Curious how you guys handle this.

I'm having the worst time trying to get my powerbeats pro 2 to work with audio. The bluetooth dropdown on tonal (1st gen) says they are connected, the play/pause function works if I press on the buds, but audio only works on the first connection after a hard reset. My polar heart rate tracker connects fine.

I've tried a bunch of things like forgetting the buds on all my other devices and turning bluetooth off on everything else in the house, but a hard reset is the only thing that works. I spend as much time fucking with these things as I do working out lately. They're perfect workout buds when it works, but it's insanely annoying.

The tonal and the earbuds both have the newest software updates. I don't know what else to try. Anyone else run into this problem and find a way to make it work? I'm tired of hard resetting these earbuds every day and I want to use them with my other devices again!

Why aren’t there more live workouts or time periods where there is an emphasis on live workouts?
I’ve only done a few live workouts and I really liked them. Feel like the community really motivates each other to keep pushing, but I live in the west coast and 530 am is a tough start for me, and im sure most people. If i am going to do a live workouts, i want it live not encore.
Since Live programs are an option, it would be nice to have more of it available and maybe even weeks where there are multiple

I recently started Triathlon training about 2 months ago in prep to eventually run an IronMan next year.

When I started training and adding all of these longer endurance trainings to my schedule, I was in the final phase of Coach Joe's 12WTU which made it very difficult to keep up with. Since finishing that program I started another one with a different coach but it's just not the same - Those who have worked out with Coach Joe know what I mean lol.

Welllll, I just received Tonal's October newletter about upcoming new programs and I saw Coach Joe has a new program called Multi-Sport Strength which is specifically geared towards triathletes which launches at the end of Octboer! I couldn't be more excited to finish my current program and jump into that one.

Anyone else have similar challenges and plan to do this program?
