Tonal is the best purchase I’ve ever made.

$3,000 for those interested.

Plus $50 per month “membership fee”. Don’t love the idea that you’re locked in to a monthly fee or else

10/22/21 4:46am

I paid cash so the membership is included for a year, but will cancel.

Is it true that it maxes out at 200? That's not much for deadlift, squat, calf raises, and even bench.

Plenty for the average 40+ person that wants to invest in another place to

Sounds like a great, safe machine for seniors that want to stay active.

Or for husbands to prevent their wives from going to a gym and having affairs.

Not really. My 10 rep weight on a real bench is 185. Tonal I was burning at 110.

10/22/21 8:06am

That would be interesting to see if it felt heavier than 200 like 250ish or 300 then it would make more sense. 110 feels

Baron

200 would feel like about 280-300.

10/22/21 8:12am

That would be sufficient for most things besides squat and deadlift but still probably good enough.

Baron

10/22/21 8:18am

Not sure but if you look online, most people have a similar comment.

10/22/21 8:32am

I found an article on it. Seems interesting

Can he only bench 200?

I don't know, but apparently he is powered by Tonal

See note above. This was my biggest concern but not pound for pound equivalent.

10/22/21 8:10am

I'll hold my criticism because I haven't tried it but have been interested in it

I think it only goes to 200 lbs, so you can’t press 3 plates anyway…

zsmooth

10/22/21 7:34am

Really only 200?

ordinary tri guy

10/22/21 7:47am

Just found this

zsmooth

10/22/21 7:51am

Yea, I looked it up also. I guess I never put the thought into it maxing at 200

ordinary tri guy

10/22/21 7:54am

I don't know that this machine is to make one "swole". But great for fitness lifting and just staying sharp.

Tokolosh

10/22/21 7:45am

Probably better fit for females if max weight is 200. You are not getting much

ordinary tri guy

10/22/21 7:49am

Yep 200 squat or deadlift is a warmup for anyone that is in decent shape or lifts frequently.

Baron

10/22/21 7:51am

To add probably great for secondary muscles. I was just hoping I could replace

ordinary tri guy

10/22/21 7:53am

Agreed. I've been repping out with 3 plates and it feels great

shammy

10/22/21 8:19am

lol, you rep with 3 plates...that is my warm up 😉

ordinary tri guy

10/22/21 8:42am

I think you (but few others on this board) would want a squat rack.

10/22/21 8:31am

I love the concept and I think there are great practical uses for it just not
