Tonal, a manufacturer of smart home fitness equipment, is expanding its service by introducing a new Pilates modality that utilizes its proprietary digital resistance technology and the brand's recently established partnership with renowned coach Kristin McGee.
Tonal's update is designed to simulate the experience of using a Pilates reformer machine by applying adjustable force through specialized accessory loops that attach to the company's main fitness unit. The workouts are led by Kristin McGee and are integrated into the platform's existing library of strength, cardio, and yoga content. To access the new Pilates modality, current owners of the Tonal hardware must purchase an additional accessory kit — the Tonal Loops.
The company positions this development as a method to make reformer-style Pilates more accessible to individuals who may find studio classes intimidating, expensive, or inconvenient to attend.
