About Us

After struggling with his weight since childhood, Tonal founder Aly Orady finally discovered a solution that worked. Kind of. By strength(streNG(k)TH) training consistently for many months, he was able to lose(lo͞oz) 70 pounds. The problem was this schedule wasn’t sustainable(səˈstānəb(ə)l). Just getting to the gym(jim) ate up a sizable(ˈsīzəb(ə)l) chunk(CHəNGk) of his day. And once there, he constantly found himself waiting around for machines and equipment.

Aly refused to believe he had to sacrifice(ˈsakrəˌfīs) his life to keep his body. So when he couldn’t find a better solution, he invented one. By using electromagnetics(əˌlektrōmaɡˈnetik) to create electronic resistance he found (and patented(ˈpatnt)) a way to replace all the equipment he used in the weight room with a single digital weight machine.

And Aly didn’t stop there. Digital weight unlocked endless possibilities. A machine that knew what you were doing, could respond if programmed. It could actually coach the people using it! This was where the idea for Tonal really took off. Aly envisioned(ənˈviZHən) a connected system that assessed(əˈses) what you needed to do, told you how to do it, and let you do it from home, in record time. And then he assembled a team to create it.
