Tonal Smart Home Gym Review 2024: Expensive, But Worth It?

Author: Cooper Mitchell, GGR Founder

The Tonal Smart Home Gym is the most pleasantly surprising piece of gym equipment I’ve reviewed in recent memory. Despite loving barbells as much as I do, Tonal has made me a complete believer that smart home gyms are the future for many trainees. Not only is the hardware impressive, but the software in concert has made this something we would certainly recommend to those wanting an all-in-one unit for their home gym. Read the full review.

Pros & Cons

What We Like...

AI gets to know you and makes weight adjustments for you
Lift up to 200 pounds in digital resistance (much different from free weights)
All-in-one gym that takes up minimal space
AI assesses your form and gives real-time cuing
Access to on-demand and live classes
30-day trial period

What Needs Improvement...

High initial price tag
Accessories cost extra and are pretty crucial to your workouts
12-month initial subscription required (and an additional cost)
200 pounds in resistance might not be enough for heavy lifters

Product Summary

Looking for a complete home gym that fits in a compact space? The Tonal smart home gym offers 200 pounds of resistance, more than 170 moves, and a range of full-body exercises. Plus, the AI gets to know you as a lifter the more you use it, so the workouts will be customized to your needs.

Tonal may be effective, but it’s not budget-friendly. The machine sells for $3,995 (which does include professional installation), but you still have to pay a $50 monthly subscription fee on top of that.
