Tonal is a<\/span> high-tech slab of ambition\u2014a gym in a mirror for those wanting to trade dumbbells for algorithm-powered gains. Tonal 2 is sleeker, sharper, and somehow even more expensive than before. At $4,295 (plus several add-on costs), it\u2019s both a statement piece and a serious financial commitment.<\/p>\n

I wanted to know if Tonal could change the way I train. After weeks of testing, I analyzed everything from installation to daily performance to see if Tonal 2 could keep me motivated\u2014no small feat given my squirrel-like attention span\u2014or if it would just turn my living room into the set of a Black Mirror<\/em> episode<\/a>.<\/p>\n

New and Improved<\/h2>\n

Tonal 2 sticks with the same wall-mounted design as its predecessor (7\/10, WIRED Recommends<\/a>) but refines the aesthetic with an all-black finish and chrome accents. It looks cool in any home gym\u2014as long as you wipe off the inevitable smudges after every workout. The most noticeable upgrade is the built-in camera, which enables real-time form feedback on-screen. Previously, Smart View required a separate mobile device to analyze movements, but now corrections are immediate. You can still integrate your phone for a side-angle, which improves the coaching cues.<\/p>\n
