Tonal
Gym Score 68/100
Best for
Strength training without storing 600 lb of plates
Three smart home gyms, three radically different bets on what 'home gym' means. Tonal is digital weight + AI coaching. Tempo bundles real free weights + a 3D scan camera. Mirror is class-first with optional weights. Which is right depends entirely on what you want to do, not which one has the best marketing.
Quick verdict
Tonal wins for serious strength training without free weights. Tempo wins for hypertrophy lifters who want guidance + real iron. Mirror wins for class-first users who use weights occasionally.
