The world’s most intelligent home gym. Tonal’s all-in-one system replaces every machine in the weight room in the gym. Built-in Coach A.I. technology counts reps, adjusts weight as users fatigue, and tracks progress over time to maximize individual results.
Overview
Tonal contacted Mercury when they already had their Android trainers and iOS and Android mobile app. The Tonal team was looking for the ongoing support of their apps, as well as for some help in implementing new features. Working with the existing codebase and multiple teams of engineers is always a challenge, but together Tonal and Mercury were able to integrate the external team deeply into all the processes, make them aware of the company’s goals and milestones, and work towards them.
It is a great companion app for the Tonal machine. Tonal mobile app helps users to track their progress, preview, and explore workouts and programs. Mercury team helped to create a slick experience for the users by working collaboratively with Tonal on designs and quality assurance.
Apple Watch app and heart rate monitoring used to be one of the most frequently requested integrations for Tonal. Once Mercury found out about this, the team was happy to design and build a WatchOS app and introduce the support of the Bluetooth/ANT+ heart rate monitors on a Tonal trainer.
Just like a personal trainer, Tonal’s Coach A.I. gauges strength, learns, and adapts guidance in real-time. The Mercury team worked in collaboration with the Tonal team to bring on new features and take users' training experience to the next level.
How's It Look?
Apple Watch Challenge
Tonal approached Mercury Development for building a WatchOS app that will seamlessly integrate with Apple Health and sync real-time data across the Apple Watch app, iOS mobile app, and Android machine. Besides that, Tonal aimed to include a comprehensive list of features allowing users to manage their trainers from the watch during workouts. Another challenge faced during the development stage was a tricky integration of the Apple Watch app with a Flutter-based iOS application.
While Mercury Development business analysts and designers were eliciting, detailing, and creating designs for a complete list of features, the development team was looking for ways to combine the SwiftUI with the new Apple Combine technology (which has not been released at that point) to ensure seamless and responsive user experience. The Mercury team made sure that the pairing and connection flow for the users will be as smooth as possible by creating a unique and fairly complex logic for working with BLE and machine/watch workout sessions.
The Future
Tonal is perpetually looking for ways to improve their system. With the help of the Mercury team, they are constantly building new ways to improve the user's strength and fitness experience at home with smart gym equipment, the companion mobile app, and now also with the new Apple Watch app. Mercury Development is proud to be a part of such a great ongoing partnership and is ready to work on awesome new features and to deliver continuous improvements.
