LeBron James is entering his 19th year in the NBA. The 36-year-old continues to be in incredible shape as he has spent millions of dollars on his body over the course of his career.

The four-time champion is looking to add more to his resume on the court but has done plenty of work off as well.
James is one his way to becoming the first active NBA player to notch billionaire status. He has earned well over $200 million from his contracts but has made even more off the court. James currently has a billion-dollar lifetime contract with Nike, owns 14 Blaze Pizza franchises, and has stakes in Beats Electronics. Tonal is next on the list.
Tonal is the new age of a home gym. It is mounted on the wall and features over 200 workouts. Tonal does not have dumbbells or barbells but uses electromagnetism to create resistance. Tonal saw a massive strike in sales during the COVID-19 pandemic as gyms were forced to close their doors.
On its website, Tonal is priced at $2,995 plus tax, to purchase the gym. This comes with a monthly membership that is $49 per month.
LeBron James is not the first notable athlete to put his or her name on Tonal. This list includes Serena Williams, Steph Curry, Tony Gonzalez, Klay Thompson, and Michelle Wie.
Tonal has landed many big names but might have just partnered with the biggest in sports. James has been a smart businessman who does not put his name on a product unless it has legs. With the recent surge in Tonal sales, it is not surprising to see James get in on the action.
