Frequently Asked Questions

What types of workouts will be Live?
There are two training types for Live workouts at this time - Strength and Power HIIT
Strength is like other strength workouts on Tonal but the coach and other members of the Tonal Community will be working out with you live. Power HIIT is a new concept developed for Live workouts to create an energetic, high-intensity group class experience with the goal of unleashing your power inside and out. They will consist of 2-3 blocks, with one block being a “Power Block” where the goal will be to increase your power output and hopefully reach a new power PR.
What can I expect in a Live workout?
In a Tonal Live workout you will be working out alongside your favorite coach in real-time. They will be sweating along with you and coaching you with pacing cues, verbal form feedback and shoutouts! Tonal will set the optimal weight for every move and the smart features will check your form in real time.
What is the Social Zone?
The Social Zone is at the top of the screen during a Live workout. It shows all other members that are participating in the workout. You can see a spotlight of members' activities as they achieve PR’s and milestones and get cheered or cheer on achievements through double tapping their profile icon.
What happens if I miss a Live workout?
If you miss a Live workout, it will be available on demand within 24 hours in the Tonal workout library or you can catch the Encore workout that will air within the next few days.
What should I do if I’m unable to access Live workouts on my Tonal?
-Check if your trainer is on the most up-to-date software/firmware version.
-If it’s on the most up-to-date version and you’re still unable to access it, logout and sign-in again. Contact us at 855-MY-TONAL if the steps above don’t work.
What should I do if my pace is slower than the coach's instructions?
The coaches will provide proper queues for you to stay on pace with the workout, but there will always be time to catch up on a few extra reps if you need to. Here are a few tips:
-Choose a Live workout at your level as the pace for Live is generally faster than other Tonal programs.
-Many Live workouts are duration based where the goal is to perform as many reps in the time allotted as you can - so you can go at your own pace.
If you still find the pace too fast, try a Live On Demand workout which are previously aired Live workouts with Tonal’s intelligent ability to wait for you to complete each set.
Will the coach be able to see me during the workout?
The camera on Tonal is not enabled yet and therefore the coach or any other member training with you will not be able to see you. They will only be able to see your workout progress, PRs and milestones to be able to give you shoutouts throughout the workout.
How long are Live workouts?
All Live workouts vary in length but are generally between 30-40 mins. Workout length will be shown in the Live schedule on Tonal or in the Tonal mobile app.
Can two people do a live workout together on the same Tonal like partner workouts?
No, only one person can do a Live workout at a time on the same Tonal. Since the workout is streaming live, there is only time for one person's reps.
Would I be able to do a Live workout on my mobile app?
Live workouts are currently not available on the Tonal mobile app.
