Deciding between Tonal's Relocation Kit and Reinstall Only service? Compare costs, responsibilities, and fit for your move to choose the right option.
Quick answer
Choose the Relocation Kit (Local or Long Distance) if you want Tonal to handle both uninstall and reinstall at your new home. Pick Reinstall Only if you or your moving company uninstalls and transports the trainer, and you just need Tonal for the reinstall.
Who does the uninstall?
With either Relocation Kit, a Tonal installation partner removes the trainer from the wall at your current address. With Reinstall Only, you uninstall it yourself. If you're comfortable with the uninstall steps (available on Tonal's site) and want to save on labor, Reinstall Only lets you handle that part.
Transport responsibility
All three options leave transport to you. The Relocation Kits include professional removal and reinstallation, but you still move the trainer to the new home. Reinstall Only assumes you already moved it there. Many customers insure their Tonal with movers the same way they insure TVs — a smart practice regardless of which service you pick.
Distance and cost differences
Local Relocation (under 50 miles, same state) costs $320. Long Distance (over 50 miles) is $370. Both include removal and installation at the new location. Reinstall Only costs $216 and covers only the reinstallation — a good deal if you already have the trainer at the new spot and just need professional mounting. All options may require Wide Mount Adapter Bars depending on your new wall studs, available as an add-on.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Reinstall Only ($216): You uninstall the trainer, move it, and Tonal's partner reinstalls at the new location. Best if you are handy, have help, or your mover handles uninstall.
- Relocation Local ($320): Tonal's partner removes and reinstalls the trainer for moves under 50 miles within the same state. You still transport the trainer. Best for convenience on short moves.
- Relocation Long Distance ($370): Same as Local, but for moves over 50 miles. A different partner may handle removal and installation. Best for long-distance moves where you want professional handling at both ends. If your move crosses state lines or goes beyond 50 miles, Long Distance is your only Relocation option.
Service details at a glance
- Reinstall Only: Reinstall Only costs $216 and covers just the reinstallation after you uninstall and transport the trainer yourself. You save about $100–$150 compared to the Relocation Kits, but you take on all removal and moving tasks.
Reinstall Only - Relocation (Local Move): Relocation (Local Move) costs $320 and includes professional removal and reinstallation for moves under 50 miles within the same state. You get full service for a local move without the hassle of uninstalling the trainer yourself.
Relocation (Local Move)
Which service fits your move?
Best for
- DIY movers who want to save money and can uninstall the trainer themselves: choose Reinstall Only.
- Local movers who prefer professional removal and reinstallation: choose Relocation (Local Move).
- Long-distance movers who want hands-off service at both ends: choose Relocation (Long Distance Move).
Not for
- Anyone who wants the moving company to transport the trainer without professional removal: choose Reinstall Only instead.
- Moves under 50 miles where you want Tonal to handle everything including transport: no Tonal service covers transport, so you still need your own mover.
