Tonal 2 review

Tonal 2 uses the least floor space of any strength option we compared, because it mounts on the wall and stands out only 5.5 inches. Its arms fold out to create up to 250 lbs of digital resistance, a 24 inch 4K screen leads you through workouts, and the Smart View camera gives form cues. Spotter mode senses a stalled rep and lowers the weight, which makes heavy solo training safer, and modes such as Chains and Smart Flex change how resistance builds through a lift. The cost is the issue. The trainer lists at $4,295, the accessories needed for most moves cost $495 or more, installation starts at $295, and Tonal requires a 12-month membership at $59.95 per month, with most features locked without it. Tonal insists on professional installation, which renters should clear with a landlord first. A 30-day in-home trial and a rental option at $279 per month soften the risk, but the total first-year cost is the highest on our list.
