Tonal's AI-created workouts will adapt to your daily progress

Tonal, the wall‑mounted smart gym, has introduced a new feature that the company says uses "cutting‑edge AI" to improve your workouts. The feature is called Daily Lift, and it analyzes your recent lifts and recovery, then builds a personalized workout plan that adapts to you daily. Every day, a user can pull up a customized strength-training session that is based on their most recent data with just a tap.

Tonal says these workouts are built using the same training methodology that Tonal's coaches rely on. The workouts are intended to provide new movements and new challenges to expose the user to a variety of different exercises.

Like many home‑workout companies, Tonal grew substantially in the post‑pandemic world of work‑from‑home before laying off 35 percent of its workforce in 2022. This year the home‑gym company launched the AI‑enabled Tonal 2 hardware, featuring a sleeker design and expanded features. Like a lot of "smart" home exercise equipment, the wall‑mounted unit remains a niche and expensive gadget, retailing for almost $4,300.
