Revitalizing Fitness: Tonal 2’s Fresh Take in a Post-Pandemic World
In the wake of the pandemic, the connected fitness landscape has seen its fair share of challenges. While industry giants like Peloton and Mirror have faced hurdles, smaller players such as Tonal are showing resilience and innovation. At CES 2025, Tonal introduced its latest strength training system, aptly named Tonal 2.
At its core, Tonal 2 retains the essence of its 2015 predecessor with a few exciting twists. It’s still the sleek, wall-mounted exercise powerhouse that fitness enthusiasts have grown to love. However, its aesthetic has been revamped with a sophisticated black and chrome design and a more robust frame.
- Enhanced Camera: The built-in camera now offers improved functionality, analyzing your movements and providing real-time coaching cues to ensure safe and effective workouts.
- Stronger Cables: The system boasts cables that are “75% stronger,” supporting up to 250 pounds of resistance.
- Smooth Workouts: Thanks to upgraded motors, your workouts will be smoother than ever.
- Adaptive Resistance: The system intelligently adjusts resistance based on workout type and user fatigue, enhancing strength-building sessions.
- HIIT Workouts: A new range of high-intensity interval training workouts is integrated into the system.
“The upgraded camera analyzes your movement pattern and provides real-time coaching cues like a personal trainer—so you can train safely, improve form, and achieve better results,” says Tonal.

While these updates mark a noteworthy evolution for Tonal, they may not justify an upgrade for everyone. However, if your original unit is showing signs of wear or you’re keen on the latest tech advancements, Tonal 2 could be worth considering.
It’s refreshing to witness a connected fitness company like Tonal thriving amidst the post-pandemic slowdown. Their commitment to innovation ensures they remain a strong contender in the fitness industry for years to come.
