Why Peloton and Tonal Are a Natural Fit
When we launched The Clip Out in 2019, Peloton was our focus—and it still is. But within months, something shifted. We kept seeing Tonal ads pop up everywhere. We were skeptical at first, like everyone else. Then we got the chance to actually try one, and that changed everything.
We immediately fell in love. Not because Tonal replaces Peloton—it doesn’t. Because Tonal does what Peloton does best for cardio, but for strength. Peloton nailed community and engagement around cycling and running. Tonal nailed something different: the personal trainer experience without the clutter of free weights scattered across your room.
Every workout on Tonal is already programmed for you. You don’t have to guess what comes next. Their programs range from one week to twelve weeks, which means you get real structure, real progression, and real guidance—like having a certified trainer in your home adjusting the weight in real-time based on your form. Add that to their partnerships with leaders like Stacy Sims and their focus on evidence-based programming, and you have a platform that serious fitness people respect.
When they released Tonal 2—smoother, quieter, 125 pounds of weight per arm, plus aero mode—we knew this was worth covering seriously. Tonal became a sponsor of The Clip Out, and later of The Superset, because this is a platform we genuinely use and trust.
This page collects everything we’ve covered about Peloton and Tonal: news, features, interviews, and advice for Peloton members thinking about adding Tonal to their routine.
