The Russian star was asked why she invested in the company. To which she stated “I’ve always tried to avoid having a gym in my house because my entire life had been built around working out and being fit. When I was home, I wanted it to be my sanctuary. Only to find out by 2020, my basement had become a gym, and my first piece of equipment was from Tonal”. Maria has been known for her fitness and strength. She has been admired for her fitness in the tennis world.

She later added “Over the years, I had gotten to know a lot of brands in the health and wellness space. I was often trying out different watches, heart-rate monitors, and fitness equipment. I had a sense of how to apply these different gadgets, and it was nice to be able to understand what worked and what didn’t work. Tonal works—it does what it is supposed to do.”
