Launched in 2018, the Tonal<\/a> is a wall-mounted strength training machine with electromagnetically adjustable resistance and a touchscreen display. It can monitor lifting form, offer virtual coaching, <\/strong>predict and set the optimal weight for each exercise, and responsively adjust as you lift for a personalized workout. The company also offers on-demand workouts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Along with sporting a new all-black design and chrome accents, the Tonal 2 comes with a host of meaningful internal improvements, including a new adaptive weight system with up to 250 pounds of digital resistance, up from the 200 pounds in the original trainer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The latest version of the trainer now offers drop sets via a software update also available on the Tonal 1, with the option to <\/strong>automatically reduce weight during a set as muscle fatigue builds up. The Tonal 2 also comes with a new \u201cAero HIIT\u201d mode, which lets you combine cardio and strength training into a single session.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Tonal also improved its optional Smart View feature, which uses cameras to watch your form and give real-time coaching cues. On the Tonal 1, Smart View required you to use your phone camera<\/a>, and used the on-device camera for a second angle in some exercises; on the Tonal 2, it uses the built-in camera, with an option to use your smartphone for a second angle. The company says the camera also can now use AI to \u201canalyze 500 data points per second.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Tonal 2 is available now, starting at $4,295<\/a>, not including delivery and installation, plus a $495 \u201csmart accessories bundle\u201d that the company\u2019s website says is \u201crequired to unlock the best Tonal experience.\u201d It also requires a $60\/month subscription, with a one-year commitment to start. Tonal noted on Instagram<\/a> it will be introducing a trade-in program for existing Tonal 1 owners looking to upgrade, but didn\u2019t give specifics. Tonal told The Verge<\/em> the Tonal 2 can be mounted on the original Tonal\u2019s existing wall mount for easier installation. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
