Tempo: Home Workout & Fitness 4+

Best home workout purchase I’ve made

My bestfriend told me about Tempo and had great things to say about the results. I was skeptical because I’ve never been the biggest fan of weightlifting (cardio girl here). Tempo has completed changed my mind and started to transform my shape in just a few months.
First, there are tons of class options (live and recorded) for whatever you’re in the mood for. The instructors are outstanding and do a great job of giving an overview on the correct form. You can also play their music or your own during the class. The app tracks reps, progress and plans if you select those.
After about 4 classes and a lot of sore muscles, I was hooked. If I’m not feeling a weight session, I’ll do yoga or barre instead.
So many options and the Core base where you attach your phone is portable.
Weights are nicely hidden in a container that looks like a fancy speaker. You’ll be really happy about this purchase. I’ve done this more in 4 months than I went to the gym in a year.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! We are delighted to hear that you're enjoying your Tempo so far!

Avoid at all costs

First off, the app is horribly designed. It’s terribly organized and hard to find what sort of class you’re looking for. There’s also no way to check off classes you’ve already completed, so you’re left scrolling through a bunch of classes that all are all named some variation of “burn” or “challenge.” As a result, it’s virtually impossible to keep track of what you’ve done in the past. I really hope they add some sort of a tracking feature or a basic check mark, but based on other reviews it looks like they’ve haven’t made any strides.

Secondly, the system just doesn’t work. I’ve been mailed 3 new cords by Tempo in the past month because they work once or twice and then fail to connect thereafter. You cannot cast your workout to the tv or a computer without their cord, nor can you just complete the workout from your phone or computer without the visualization feature. So effectively this entire app and system is useless if don’t have a tv and cable (which never works). Whoever thought of this limited functionality should be fired. Not to mention the customer service team is a nightmare and you are sent to some third party call company in another country.

In short, avoid this company and app at all costs. They clearly don’t care about feedback or their customers. I’ll be fighting them for a full refund.

Not accessible for deaf and head of hearing.

I purchased this move pro thinking it will help me get into shape and assuming it is accessible as I was using apple fitness. They provided captions/subtitles which I enjoyed the most and was engaging as well. Now, I was taking myself to the next level by going forward with tempo as they have equipments and with this cool AI that watch you exercise correctly and those are what I’m looking for. I was really excited when I got those equipment. But that changed everything when I started the video and they do not have captions or subtitles! I’m deaf myself and I can’t understand what they are saying. This is heartbreaking. This is 2024 and they only benefit for major of people that are not deaf or hard of hearing. This is really heartbreaking. I really hope tempo will make this more accessible by adding caption or subtitles soon.

Two, they talk a lot. While taking short break, show us what the next step before we start doing that exercise. Instead talking so long which it give a lot of time for our heart to rest. Worse part, I can’t even understand what they are talking about which harm the engagement. The video I’m referring to is HITT video, they surely talk a lot like we are in biology class.

Get me sweat!
