As a team of fitness editors, we’ve spent years testing what actually works at home. Tonal has long been a standout, and Tonal 2 raises the bar. This next-generation system is smarter, sleeker, and stronger, pairing adaptive resistance with guided programs that cover strength, conditioning, mobility, and recovery for a complete gym workout in your space.
Here’s why our editors are clearing wall space for this upgrade—and why you might want to do the same.
No More Outgrowing Your Home Gym — Progress Without Buying More Gear
Most people start with a set of dumbbells, but the problem is simple: you outgrow them fast. Upgrading means dropping hundreds on heavier weights, and suddenly you’re dealing with racks, plates, and clutter. Go the bench-and-bar route and it’s even more costly—a full kit with barbell, plates, and rack easily runs thousands and takes up an entire room.
Competitor systems aren’t much better. Take amp™ for example: it tops out at 100 pounds, which won’t keep most people progressing beyond the beginner phase. Tonal 2 changes that. It delivers adaptive resistance that keeps pace with your strength, so you never hit that ceiling.
Busy Schedule? Get Strength + Cardio in 20 Minutes Flat
Finding time for both lifting and cardio is tough—you either skip one or spend hours bouncing between workouts. Tonal 2’s exclusive Aero HIIT blends interval conditioning with strength blocks in about 20 minutes. You build strength and endurance in one efficient session and you do it fast enough to fit any day.
Flawless Form Without Paying for a Personal Trainer
At home, it’s easy to wonder if your form is right—or worse, train through bad habits that compromise progress. Tonal 2’s Smart View camera tracks your movement and gives real-time coaching cues, like reminding you to brace or adjust range. You see what to fix and why, so every rep is safer and more effective—without paying $100+ per hour for a trainer.
Break Through Plateaus Faster — 6x More Workouts to Keep You Moving
One of the biggest reasons people stall is lack of variety. Doing the same handful of workouts over and over leads to boredom, burnout, and eventually missed sessions. amp™ offers just 737 total workouts and programs—enough to get started, but not enough to keep you challenged long-term.
Tonal 2 solves that with 4,154 total workouts and programs—6x more than amp™. From strength and conditioning to mobility, recovery, and HIIT, there’s always something new to try. That daily variety keeps your motivation high, prevents plateaus, and makes consistency easier. Every time you log in, you’ll find a fresh challenge that keeps progress coming.
A Gym Upgrade That Blends Into Your Home — Built to Last
Most home gyms are bulky, cluttered, or too lightweight to really give you a workout. Tonal 2 is sleek, low-profile, and professionally installed so it’s secure from day one. And the new, durable design and 2-year standard warranty ensure you can push to your limits and beyond. The all-black design looks premium in a living room or a dedicated gym, turning your space into a training environment you’ll actually want to use daily.
Clear Value, at a Glance
If you’re training three to five days a week, Tonal 2 brings coaching, programming, and a complete strength setup together in one system.
- Price: $4,295
- Membership: $59.95/month (12-month initial commitment)
- White glove delivery and installation
When you compare the cost to boutique classes, gym memberships, or personal training hours, Tonal 2 delivers unlimited coaching and a full gym for less than $2 a day—plus the time you save by training at home.
The Complete Home Gym Upgrade That Pays for Itself
From adaptive strength and Aero HIIT to real-time coaching and refined design, Tonal 2 makes at-home fitness more complete, more consistent, and more effective. If your goals include building strength, keeping conditioning in play, and staying on track without the commute, this is the upgrade that brings it all together.
