I'm burning out and this is not getting any easier yet this is not your average screen for starters it has arms but most importantly it's got the strength of a bodybuilder tonal is basically an entire weight machine plus the personal trainer mounted on your wall so where is it hiding those clunky metal plates well it's not the weights are all digital it's using an electromagnetic drive to generate up to 200 pounds of resistance so when I'm pulling here it doesn't feel like much but if I increase the resistance say to like I don't know 30 pounds and it actually feels like I'm pulling a physical weight like like you would feel on a weight machine even though there's as you can see nothing behind me and then I'll just suggest it and the hardware is just one part of the equation total also comes with built-in coaches to guide you through workouts and help you achieve your personal goals whether that's bulking up losing weight getting stronger or all of the above and it supports multiple users once I log my stats and preferences the machine had me take a fitness test to figure out how much I should be lifting which already seems better than the weight guessing game I play at the gym oh then you're ready to start a routine with the trainer of your choice most of them were weight based for upper-body legs and core but you can mix it up and add different attachments to the arms to target different muscles and because the machine has real-time feedback about how much you're lifting the speed and even the quality of each rep it can react in real-time by either upping the resistance or lowering it if it feels like you're struggling it's pretty much like having your own spotter at the gym mine is the embarrassment the company also says tonal keeps track of your progress over time and modifies the exercises and resistance as you get stronger rather than just repeating the same old gym routine this in theory means you get a more efficient workout with faster results but at two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars results won't come cheap the machine itself cost roughly what you would expect to pay for a similar weight machine but then you also have to factor in an installation fee a five hundred dollar accessory kit and the subscription to the training program which costs 49 dollars a month but you may end up getting even more features down the line according to the company future software updates could unlock other sensors and cameras currently dormant in the machine and bring an even more specialized training program to its users
