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.

App is severely lacking functionality

I haven’t received my Tempo yet but was advices to download the app while I wait for delivery in order access the body weight workouts. My problem with the app is that when searching workouts or clicking on them from the home page or your favorites, there is no option to “ to “add to calendar.” In order to actually start a workout you have to scroll all the way through the list. Additionally, yesterday I saved a workout to my favorites in order to remember which one I wanted to do today. This morning I am unable to find it anywhere in the workouts page, the only page you can actually “start” your workout from, and when I click it in my favorites it only allows me to add it to my calendar. Very frustrating as it clearly exists and I had access to it yesterday, it it has disappeared today. I am hoping that this is not indicative of the functionality of the actual Tempo Studio because that would be extremely frustrating to deal with after paying $2k for the machine. Fingers crossed the app will continue to be improved but as of right now it is not nearly as useful as it should or could be.
