Ever want to work out like Serena Williams? The tennis star shows you how by reminding you to push yourself beyond others’ expectations in Tonal’s spot for the Big Game.
“Never be afraid of your strength,” Serena Williams says at the start of Tonal’s ad for Super Bowl LVI. “Because your body,” the tennis icon adds, “is capable of amazing things.” While showcasing the Tonal home gym system, Serena encourages people to “own their strength” and “see how far it takes you.” For Serena, this is not just a paid endorsement: she was one of Tonal’s earliest athlete investors, and this is a chance for her to showcase a product that has helped her master her magnificent physical form.
“Tonal’s ethos is steeped in embracing strength in every form,” Gina Hardy, SVP of Brand & Product Marketing at Tonal, tells HollywoodLife. “Serena has defied conventional standards of strength throughout her entire career, and we’re incredibly proud and honored to work with her on a campaign that showcases the importance of strength through the lens of remarkable women.”

And when we surveyed Tonal members, the top athlete they wanted to see us partner with was Serena. Bringing this campaign to life is the beginning of a long-term partnership, and we look forward to our continued collaboration with her.”
Serena will be all over the Super Bowl commercial landscape. In addition to Tonal, she appears in Michelob ULTRA’s “Superior Bowl” ad, going up against Peyton Manning, Alex Morgan, and more.
