Tonal 4+

This app gives you all the information you need to choose your work out ahead of time and log into Tonal. It allows you to track your fitness, it connects to your other fitness apps, and you can even create custom workouts while sitting on your couch so they will be ready when you get to your Tonal. There are minor complaints, such as not being able to upload a photo to your profile unless you also want to connect your Tonal profile with Facebook; however, this is not a major issue for me. I also recommend the app for the Apple Watch so that you can track your heart rate. Paired together, these apps round out your Tonal to be far more effective in health tracking and motivation than it would otherwise be.

Easy to use machine, setting up custom workouts is easy and intuitive. Not only does Tonal save you the travel time getting to the gym, it saves you from waiting for machines to free up allowing you to optimize your work out rotating between muscle groups without having to walk across the gym or waiting for that annoying guy to stop chatting on his phone whilst pretending to exercise. Indeed I’d be more likely to go to a gym that has walls of Tonals rather than classic machines.

The app lets you explore workouts and setup you own. Two things stop me from giving the app five stars:

1) Analytics - sure any analytics is better than you get from analog exercise, but given the rich data they generate like watts per muscle group, peak power etc, they could do more to give you that data and let you explore it to better hone your workouts.

2) Dials for intensity - we’re all pretty busy, and some days we have more energy that others, some days we want to go longer but lower intensity and other days we want to go as hard as we can. Would be great to have two simple dials to alter rep count and weight across all exercises. Let me quickly alter the style of workout in the fly without having to do it on each set individually (which is also a bit depressing if it’s been a long day and you have little to give).

Still overall a great machine and highly recommend.

Over the last year I’ve double my strength and have lost 30lbs of fat. My smart scale when I first started said my metabolic age was 43, it now says 40. I feel so much better now and tonal bought me three extra years of life, they say you can’t buy time, but with daily use of tonal you can!

Tonal, make a white version I think it would look very nice. Also I would like to track cardio on the app, maybe on the calendar view a black dot is for tonal only, grey dot is cardio day, and a half black and half grey dot means one did both tonal and off tonal cardio that day.

Keep make awesome updates and devices and I will continue to promote your products to my loved ones.
