I’ve been using tempo for over two years and got the tempo studio when it was the only product they offered. This app has grown a lot from only playing videos without the ability for background music. My only complaint is the latest redesign is one of many overhauls that just feels like layering on unneeded paint. Originally, the app just had a weekly workout goal, which was fine. Then they added strength and cardio sets by muscle group which was helpful (although the goals based on the plans seemed somewhat arbitrary). The latest iteration makes no sense. The readiness score feels fairly arbitrary and like a swipe at Oura since you can’t see the range of metrics or how it stacks up (you just see your current metrics when tapping on it but no weighted average contribution or anything). The most frustrating thing is that they still have these blue bar goals in plans that allude to strength sets, but now you cannot see how many strength sets each workout will get you. These goals feel too constraining since their aren’t that many plans. I much preferred balancing out my strength sets and earning enough. This update alludes to the strength sets but it just feels like a UI filler since they aren’t integrated throughout the experience. The workout class experience is still fantastic but the lead up and planning really needs to be tuned down. It seems like they keep trying to make it look like they are doing clever AI plans rather than just shuffling some preset lists. Please just simplify and allow users to build a plan or track their muscle groups if they choose!

I purchased my tempo in June 2020. I was a good steward as an early adopter and patient as I waited months to receive my studio. Once I received it, there were quite a few bugs to work out. I have high speed Internet but the studio needed an adapter. It took a few months of frustration from classes freezing, hard restarts and phone calls to Tempo IT customer support to get it on track. This issues were finally resolved. I was apologized to many times by customer support and was also offered a new customer welcome kit that I never received. I also starting realizing that when I did challenges I never received emails stating I completed challenges in order to submit for the fun gifts! As an early adopter- Tempo also did a huge thing and offered the core to those who were already owners. I pay monthly fee and get a receipt but never received the core request email until I specifically asked for it. The challenges are fun have kept me motivated except I’ve never received the welcome pack or the T-shirt - I’ve emailed and was told no emails on welcome kit - well it was over phone ?? And the T-shirt just told they will send another - but who knows. I’m not sure why they can’t figure out why some customers get some of the emails and others don’t!!! Tempo is a obvious growth centric company who tries but over promises and doesn’t always deliver - I’m in the tempo support group and I’ve seen mixed opinions, with similar experiences. Personally, I’m now back at OTF and contemplating selling my studio as certain aspects have turned me off from the brand. Everyone’s expectations and experience are different so try the studio for yourself you may love it!

I'm really not a gym type of person. I've tried many times. I know it's good for me to build functional strength for the aging process, but whatever I do, I can't fit the gym into my schedule. When I get there, I'm just not motivated, but with Tempo I have successfully worked out about two times a week for two months now, and I can honestly say I enjoy it. It's fun and it's motivating.The workouts are short and compact and fit my schedule, and all I have to do is go into my bedroom space where I have it set up and go for it. The weights are really nice, good quality, and make it a fun experience to use. The personal trainers are all really good. They're fun, they're engaging, and the time flies by. They intersperse (maybe with AI?) little mini clips that seem to adjust based on what my body is doing. If I'm out of form, the personal trainer seems to adjust and say, "Hey, stand up straighter or tilt your pelvis forward" or whatever cues are needed to correct my form," so very impressed. I've also noticed a clear improvement in my lean muscle mass and my body definition.

Have been enjoying my classes and programs so far - like sticking with the same trainers and I like the fact that they all have a variety of classes with different time lengths so I can fit in exercise whenever I can during my day. A little dissatisfied with some of the app features most especially the fact that I cannot rewind a class. I am a busy mom and sometimes my kids interrupt me during a class, so I miss an instruction. It’s frustrating not to be able to rewind, the only option is to exit the class and restart it. Would also like the option to permanently hide the leaderboard. I currently have it off during classes but at the end of my workouts it pops up again with my summary and I do sometimes find it discouraging that even though I gave it my all, I came in last 10th percentile. I have a problem with comparing myself to others and would really enjoy it much better to not have the leaderboard at all. App also sometimes has trouble connecting with the docking base, not sure if it’s because my phone is a little loose when it sits on top, it is not a strong connection in my opinion. Overall I enjoy the trainers I have used so far, and especially love the fact that I can choose a class for whatever time I have available.
