Not so long ago, residents of Russia managed to get acquainted with such a concept as tonus clubs. At the same time, unlike ordinary fitness clubs, in such organizations you will not find classical trainers, for example, a treadmill or a stopper. Although there are simulators here, they look a little different, and they are intended for several other therapeutic purposes. A striking example of such organizations is the club "Tonus" (Naberezhnye Chelny). What is this institution? Where can I find him? What is unusual in it? And how effective are classes in such a club?
A little information about the company itself
Club "Tonus" ( Naberezhnye Chelny can also boast of such an institution ) is a company that was first established in St. Petersburg in September 2002. The grand opening of one of the first clubs of this organization took place in January 2003. Four years later, the company has already opened a new representative office in Surgut. It was an organization of regional importance, which received positive reviews from residents of the city.
After 2007, Tonus Club LLC began to open representative offices in other cities and regions of the Russian Federation. Over time, the company acquired its own regional network, which has grown to an incredible scale.
Currently, the Tonus club (Naberezhnye Chelny is also part of the network) is considered one of the largest fitness networks in Russia and Europe. They know about the company not only in their native country, but they also appreciate it far beyond its borders. So, there are representative offices in Uzbekistan, on the island of Cyprus and Kazakhstan. Moreover, everyone can open a similar representative office in their country on the franchise of the company.
What is a Tonus Club?
According to many local residents, fitness clubs in Naberezhnye Chelny open like mushrooms after rain. This is Alex Fitness on the boulevard of 60 years of October, house 5, the sports club "Hanaka" on the boulevard Glavmosstroevtsev, house 5 and a network of clubs "Arena Gym". However, more reviews are called the so-called tone clubs. What is so special about them?
So, tone clubs are a cross between a health-improving complex and a sports facility. Inside such establishments, the Tonus Club (Naberezhnye Chelny) is considered an example, there are many specialized simulators and other equipment.
All of them are aimed at visual correction of a female figure. Most simulators fight excess body fat with the help of wave therapy, infrared radiation, vacuum, massage and other procedures performed in a club in Naberezhnye Chelny.
Features of the format of classes in the club
According to the leaders of the club, classes in this organization are held according to a special program developed by specialists in a healthy lifestyle. It is believed that this system, which offers a fitness club "Tonus" (Naberezhnye Chelny), has a long history and enjoys great success among women of different age categories.
According to preliminary data, the company's concept is based on an integrated approach in the field of nutrition and physical condition of the company's customers, which are mainly girls and women. While working on problem areas, customers of the organization have the opportunity to use special simulators, take a course of relaxation procedures and a number of classes using various equipment.

Classes in tone clubs are based on the program of Smart-training. According to the stories of representatives of the organization, in accordance with this methodology, an individual program is compiled for each participant. The following data are taken into account:

- The ultimate goal and wishes of the client.
- Individual tolerance of certain procedures.
- The presence or absence of contraindications.
A specially designed diet is included in the training program, tips on proper nutrition are given, and a schedule of classes on “smart simulators” is drawn up. The “Tonus” (club, Naberezhnye Chelny) also works on this principle. Reviews about it make you think and become interested in promising effective procedures that help to recover after childbirth, get rid of extra centimeters at the waist and other problem areas, harden and rejuvenate the body, challenging the already launched mechanism of aging.

One of the representative offices of the organization is located at the following address: Naberezhnye Chelny, Raisa Belyaev street, 27A.

All this must be done before you decide to visit Tonus (club, Naberezhnye Chelny). Exercise machines, hardware and relaxing procedures are selected precisely on the basis of this questionnaire or in person.
What gym equipment is there in the club?
The club has many simulators to solve a lot of health problems. Among the most common of them, we distinguish the following:
- Tone tables.
- Roller chair.
- Luff jacket and lymph pants for presserotopia.
- Barotrainer.
- Vibro platform.
- Thermal slimming system.
- Klaymb simulator (simulates climbing stairs).
- Hippo exercise machine (imitates a ride on a horse).
- Inversion chair (for safe traction of the spine).
- Ballbike and others.
These services and simulators become available to everyone who comes to Tonus (club, Naberezhnye Chelny). The subscription here is selected individually and depends on your goals, wishes, the ability to devote time and much more. Most often, customers of this organization purchase a subscription for six months, a year and a half years.
Is a tonus table useful or not?
According to many users who were able to evaluate the quality of service of company representatives, not all devices and simulators they liked. Although the reviews are different. For example, some highlighted the complete futility of tonus tables.
According to them, this is not just “fitness for the lazy,” but not fitness at all. The thing is that during classes on such tables you need to perform various exercises from a prone position. That's just to compare such actions with full power loads is very difficult.
According to the representatives of the organization, on such tables should be engaged in the elderly, as well as those who have certain problems with their backs. It is suitable in the postoperative period to restore muscle activity. As it turned out, the tonus table completely removes the load from the spine (especially from the lumbar), which greatly speeds up the recovery process.
Roller chair: pros and cons
Another simulator with heated discussions is a roller apparatus. It looks like a big drum with gears, soft armrests and a frame resembling a chair. During operation, this simulator drives the drum. It spins and breaks up fat deposits that have accumulated in problem areas.
According to eyewitnesses, they should be substituted for a rotating roller. Some users liked this unit for its simplicity and efficiency. Others talk about the fact that its cost is unduly overstated, and a similar effect can be achieved as a result of home use of the massager or when visiting a massage specialist.
Tonus (club, Naberezhnye Chelny): prices
Some users who are not satisfied with the effect of certain procedures or simulators say that the center prices are too high. Perhaps the blame for the exclusivity of these devices in the Russian Federation, advertising costs and even the involvement of famous personalities. So, for example, the face of the company, for a long time, was the Olympic figure skating medalist Elena Berezhnaya.
Another thing is that the calculation of prices is carried out in so-called units. So, 6,000 rubles is equivalent to 50 units, which can be safely used within 3 full months. The annual subscription is already 300 units, one and a half year - even more.
At the same time, the cost of using the equipment directly depends on its type, especially the load and the time spent. For example, pressotherapy or a barrel barrel will cost you 2 units, infrared pants and a blanket - 4 units.
Moreover, many also do not like that, in addition to the main subscription, you also have to pay extra for additional services. For example, when using a phytobarrel, it is necessary to buy herbs and special oils for it, the use of thermal pants involves the purchase of disposable linen (special pants that resemble a hospital gown), etc.
General impression of the club
In general, the impression of visiting this organization is mixed. Someone uploads admiring reviews, accompanying them with photographs in the style of “before” and “after”. Others are upset because of the waste of money and time. In general, to each his own. Another thing is that such places are rare, and you can visit them at least to satisfy your curiosity.
