Tone House

Tone House℠ is the first-ever extreme, athletic-based group fitness studio aimed at unleashing the inner athlete in everyone. Sessions are team-oriented, competitive, fun, and supportive, guaranteeing optimal fitness results. Whether you’re an elite athlete, or just want to train like one, Tone House’s goal is to bring sports conditioning workouts to the mainstream and help individuals improve their mental and physical health and become better overall athletes and people.

The program is created by Alonzo Wilson, Founder & Director of Training, and it is standardized, which means it will be consistent wherever and whenever you train. It changes daily based on the focus (Lower Body, Upper Body, Core, Total Body, or Conditioning), and it is designed to evolve and progress as our athletes do to avoid plateaus.

No two programs are exactly alike. While the weekend program is the same on Saturday and Sunday, it will be entirely different from the previous weekend. The only constant in each Conditioning session is The Warm Up, which is arguably the toughest part of the session.

All our certified Coaches are excellent and offer a unique approach in their delivery of the program, but the daily message is always consistent in order to maintain the integrity and the quality of the Tone House experience.

Conditioning sessions are approximately one hour, including The Warm Up and stretch/cool down. We do limit training to one (1) Conditioning session/day to allow your body to rest and recover properly.

8 day advance booking opens every Sunday at 4 PM, and sessions will only be available to advance book for the subsequent 8 days, Monday - Monday.

Yes, but since you are partaking in extremely intense physical activity, please consult with your physician beforehand for a professional opinion. Please also inform your Tone House Coaches prior to the start of the session so they can monitor your training and advise accordingly.

No. Unfortunately, we don’t.

No. Out of respect for your teammates’ privacy and to ensure that your Coaches have your undivided attention, please refrain from cell phone usage, photos, or videos while training. We do encourage you to take team pics and other reasonable photos before and after the session and share them socially!

Yes, we offer discounted student rates at $30/session. This rate is applicable for walk-in only at select times* and available for undergrad and graduate students with a valid college ID upon check-in at the front desk.

Yes, Tone House is for anyone! From the competitive athlete, to the avid fitness enthusiast interested in cross training or changing their fitness routine, to the novice focused on becoming healthier, Tone House will challenge your mind and body, safely and effectively.

We do offer an introductory, slower paced session titled TH Fundamentals (Beginner) for first-time athletes, and TH101 which is an intermediate level of our workout. Both are offered throughout the day on our weekly schedule. We encourage first-timers to start with TH Fundamentals or TH 101, even if you are already very fit.

The following amenities are available upon check-in, and may vary by location:

• Complimentary gym towels
• Complimentary cell phone charging stations
• M/W locker rooms
• Showers w/complimentary bath towels
• Hawthorne hair & body care products
• ghd air® hair dryers
• Cold tubs for post-training recovery
• Water, protein recovery drinks, and electrolyte beverages for sale at check-in.

The human body is designed to move as a whole and on multiple planes – similar to how athletes train to stay in peak condition. Remaining abnormally stationary or staying in one plane while training prevents our bodies from maximizing their full potential – in workouts and in daily life. Movement training utilizes more muscle groups and expends more energy, resulting in highly effective and efficient training sessions. Tone House challenges individuals to elevate their workouts by consistently incorporating this programming philosophy into each session.

• The Breakdown Team Chant – Get motivated. Get focused. Get pumped up.
• The Warm Up - 10 minute dynamic, nonstop, and progressively challenging movements to mentally and physically prepare you for training
• Consistent transitions from explosive to non-explosive exercises combined with resistance and velocity training techniques
• Active recovery periods to maintain elevated heart rate for maximum caloric burn and fat loss
• 5-10 minute stretch/cool down
• The Breakdown Team Chant – Leave energized. Leave inspired. Leave accomplished.

The benefits are endless. Combine Tone House classes with a healthy diet and you will experience:

• Significant fat loss and maximum caloric burn (600-1000 cals/class, varies based on the individual)
• Improved cardiovascular and muscular endurance, strength, and power
• Increased speed, velocity, core strength, agility, and reactivity
• Better balance, coordination, and motor control
• Lean muscle definition
• Injury-prevention

Tone House will help you be better equipped to do what you love to do and face your own life challenges with confidence - whether you are playing on the field or court, training for a race, relieving stress from a demanding career, or seeking more energy to play with your children or grandchildren.

In terms of intensity, yes. In terms of format or approach, no. It’s most comparable to a team sports practice (e.g., football, soccer, etc.).

Sessions are pace- and time-based, rather than focused on reps. The intensity and integrity of the program will never be compromised, but we understand there will be a mix of fitness levels in each session so modifications and progressions will be offered to ensure no one is excluded.

Exercises encompass familiar and unfamiliar movements as your body adjusts to training in a very different, yet highly functional, manner. Athletes have the ability to go at their own pace, but our Coaches will hold everyone accountable and strive to push everyone out of their comfort zone.

Rather than a militant or drill sergeant approach to instruction, which is overkill with this type of program, Tone House values positive reinforcement and community within its space so everyone leaves feeling supported and accomplished.

The only true way to prepare for Tone House is to train at Tone House, so we offer an introductory TH Intro and Intermediate level designed specifically for athletes who are new to the Turf.

While there is clearly no easy day at Tone House, Conditioning Day has been lauded as the toughest day because the program consists of very little recovery time with a primary focus on endurance, stamina, and constant heart rate elevation throughout 90% of the session.

No. STRENGTH is comparable to traditional athletic weightlifting found in collegiate and professional weight rooms. We’ll focus on the main traditional lifts (bench, squat, and deadlift) rather than the Olympic lifts found in CrossFit. You will see the occasional power clean, but the format is unique to the collegiate weight lifting style.

Yes, our training format allows us to adjust the weights and exercises for athletes of all skill and strength levels. You’ll lift at a weight appropriate for you and there will be two coaches in every session to ensure that your form is correct and you’re lifting safely.

STRENGTH-specific Workshops will also be offered throughout the year for those interested in learning the fundamentals. These Workshops are primarily geared towards education, form, and technique.

Every exercise is modifiable to work around injuries. Please inform your Coach at the beginning of each training session about any limitations you have and we’ll proceed and modify accordingly.

Yes, although we recommend doing Conditioning before STRENGTH, so your body is warmed up properly. Depending on your fitness level and/or experience, we recommend checking in with a Coach to see if you are ready to implement STRENGTH and Conditioning on the same day. Every athlete is different and some may require more recovery in between training sessions.

For optimal results, we recommend following a weekly program of 3 STRENGTH sessions and 2 Conditioning sessions. Don’t forget to incorporate regular Recovery sessions and proper Nutrition habits to fuel and take care of your body appropriately. For a more customized approach designed around your specific fitness goals, please reach out to us directly.

Our STRENGTH program will definitely make you stronger on it’s own, but will be more effective when paired with our Conditioning sessions. The best formula for becoming a well balanced Athlete is the 360 approach of Strength, Conditioning, Nutrition & Recovery.

Absolutely. Remember, this is still Tone House, ‘Challenging’ is our middle name, and we guarantee you’ve never lifted like this before. We suggest leaving your ego at the door, and going lighter at first than you think you need to.
