I love my Tonal

I love my Tonal. I work from home and I am able to get a great workout in on my lunch break. I thought I would miss the gym, but this has more moves than I could have imagined, I never get bored or feel like I'm lacking any muscle groups. The workout possibilities are endless with this machine

I love tonal it’s great

I love tonal it’s great! The only downside is the monthly membership, it is way too expensive there should be an option for less people or an annual plan for cheaper, there is only one option which is terrible!

This thing works as advertised.

Well made. Pretty amazing actually. I use it every morning. At just under $100/month It is pricey for the subscription. Also the unit itself is quite expensive.

Dubious value proposition

The functionality is good, however the requirement for a constant internet connection and paywalling of advanced features severely reduces its value proposition compared to a traditional weight-stack functional trainer. The average user is likely to get just as much functionality at a far better price with traditional trainers.

For the monthly price there should be customizations to work around a problem joint. There should be some better functionality without the subscription. Subscription is way to expensive.

I love that the Program seems to be geared toward "vintage" folks!

I love that the Program seems to be focused for older foks. I'm recovering from an illness and haven't worked out it quite a while. I'm trying to get back in a routine and this is great. Because it's easier (and believe me. that's what I need), I think a little longer than approximately 30-35 minutes would be nice. However, I lso realize, if it were too long, perhaps folks wouldn't participate.

Hands down, best training machine I’ve used

The Tonal is amazing from start to finish, install to using frequently? This is hands down the best training machine. The programs are fantastic. They give a wide range of training options and help me build on my strength. Even when I’m short on time or want to do something different, I can choose a different program and switch things up. The trainers are great, highly motivating and keep you engaged.

The safety and convenience

The safety and convenience is the primary benefit of the Tonal. I always feel safe and the programs are helpful to keep me motivated and productive. The cost when compared to the experience on the Peloton is the only reason that I don't rate it 5 stars.

This has been the worst experience

This has been the worst experience. My original Tonal died. I was offered a refurbished Tonal at a discount. First off, the delivery. What a mess. No shows, no showing during the time window.
Fast forward to getting the “refurbished” Tonal installed. It came broken! The top was sheered off. How is that refurbished? I was told I’m receiving a machine that was never used and was sent back.
They still installed the broken machine. Which I had to call and get it replaced. Which meant more missed appointments and reschedules.
Finally got it installed and it started
”clunking” after 1 workout, Did a couple of walkouts, and hopefully that did the trick.
I have zero faith in this product.
They gave me a little off the refurbished machine, and a couple of months free, but I’m done. I’ll use it until it breaks….again. When my free months are up I’ll cancel the subscription.
Tonal will not receive another penny from me.

Price increase betrayal.

I’ll always hate the subscription increase that happened after I bought it. If I knew the commitment was going to change so fast I would have never purchased. It’s why I went from recommending it to complaining about it. It also hurts my elbows in a way normal cable machines don’t. Not sure why. And the difference weight I’m able to lift in free weights vs tonal is just inexcusable.
