Superior Efficiency
It works similarly to cross-trainers, but is MOBILE – and unlike crosstrainers, it allows independent upper and lower body movements as well as left and right arm movements. This enables more effective upper body training in both forward and backward motion.
The present walking study at 5 km/h speed shows a 139.7% performance with TONEFIT compared to “just walking” (100%) – this increase of nearly 40% corresponds to the training intensity of light jogging without the corresponding joint load.
This significant additional cardiovascular performance is caused only by the increased performance of the upper body and arm muscles, which otherwise remain largely passive in running ….. and this without much additional effort or movement.

TONEFIT versus Nordic Walking
“During the development of the TONEFIT belt, I had test measurements of energy consumption and muscle activity taken on me when just “Walking”, walking with “TONEFIT” and “Nordic
Walking”. In almost all the parameters examined, I found significantly higher values when walking with TONEFIT.
Only through the additional muscle training of the upper body TONEFIT could achieve at the same speed close to 40% more efficiency than simple walking, and with 30% more it was also
significantly more efficient than Nordic Walking.
TONEFIT offers a unique independent full body training with the intensity of light jogging, but in contrary it is very gently to your joints”.
Diana Failer, inventor of TONEFIT

Unique for Medical Rehabilitation
TONEFIT-REHA funded by Innosuisse – Swiss funds for cooperation, knowledge and technology transfer between universities, science-based institutions and companies – for promoting business innovation in the interest of the economy and society in Switzerland.
Innosuisse Project – SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION
Start October 1st 2017 – Duration 24 months
Development of a portable rehabilitation device to promote cardiopulmonary function, upper body training and balance in neuro-orthopaedic patients
This unique application has customizable settings. It’s
mobility allows outdoor use and at the same time offers
monitoring via the app. It is ideal for bridging the gap between inpatient therapy and supervised individual
training
Innosuisse Project – IMPLEMENTATION
Novel monitoring app for programming, recording and evaluating arm and upper body movement will allow conclusions to be drawn
about the course of therapy
A unique, specially developed system combining sensor
technology and software control for precise regulation of resistance and movement gradient during arm exercises
Innosuisse Project – CLINICAL EVALUATION
Qualitative evaluation of acceptance and usability of the original TONEFIT version by therapists and patients to define requirements
Quantitative evaluation of movement patterns and muscle activity during walking with TONEFIT-REHA in musculoskeletal patients
Clinical study:
Clinical study during a 4-week training phase with patients as a proof-of-concept study with TONEFIT-REHA
