Enhanced Workout Details with Training Goals
We're enhancing our Workout Details page to make it easier than ever to find workouts and programs that align with your Training Goals.
What’s new?
Now, when you view a workout or program on the Tonal mobile app or your Tonal device, you’ll see how it scores for any of the seven training goal options: muscle growth, weight loss, strength, performance, functional strength, endurance, and movement quality. The bar below each goal shows the extent to which that program or workout includes the specific training stimulus necessary to further that goal.
When you’ve chosen Training Goals on Tonal, you’ll see your selected goals highlighted in the workout details to ensure you’re getting the right training stimulus to see the results you want. To find workouts that align with your goals, visit the “Workouts for Your Goal” row on the trainer or filter directly from the Explore page.
How should I interpret the new Workout Details?
Along with showing whether or not a workout is suited for a particular goal, these new workout details also illustrate how challenging a session is in terms of that specific training stimulus. This information helps guide your training to keep leveling up as you make progress.
A workout with a full bar for muscle growth, for example, will have you lifting more volume (the main training stimulus for muscle growth) than one with a less filled bar. We recommend finding a baseline that matches your ability level—maybe a half-full bar feels appropriately challenging for you right now—and then gradually working up to ones with more filled bars. This essentially applies the key training principle of progressive overload, which is the gradual and methodical increase in the stress of your workouts over time to safely get you closer to your goals.
Additional Notes
Tonal’s enhanced workout details are calculated based on the original programming. If you select recovery weight or a replacement move in a workout, they may no longer accurately represent the exact training stimulus you’ll get in your session.
In customizable Programs+ programs, details are calibrated for the 45-minute, intermediate-level option for all workouts. Any adjustments will not be factored in.
Enhanced workout details are currently not available for Custom workouts and On-the-Go, off-Tonal sessions.
