Tempo at a glance | Tempo, concept

Tempo puts real weights, classes led by certified coaches and sensing that follows each rep into one home gym.

Real iron, recognised.

Tempo’s adjustable dumbbells and colour-coded plates are real weights you load yourself.

Load a documented combination of Tempo plates and the weight can be recognised for you; anything else, you set by hand. When a set goes well, Tempo can suggest going heavier next time, and you can always change it.

It follows the rep.

On supported exercises, Tempo tracks your movement in 3D: it counts reps, shows range of motion and steps in with the occasional form cue. Good light and a clear view help.

A man lunges on a mat in a bright living room, in front of a TV and a Tempo Move cabinet. Tracking lines follow his body, and the TV shows the class, a rep count and a form cue. — **Tracked in 3D.** Joints are mapped through a supported iPhone’s camera on Core and Move, or Studio’s built-in sensor.
**Reps and cues, on screen.** Reps are counted on supported exercises, with the occasional form cue, like this one.
**Range of motion.** How far each rep travels, measured against a target.

Classes, led by people.

Certified coaches teach every class, live on a schedule or whenever you’re ready.

Strength

HIIT and cardio

Mobility and recovery

Yoga, boxing and meditation too. Plans adapt to your readiness and goals; programs follow a set path, the same for everyone who takes them.

Built around your body.

Filter classes for low impact, shoulder or knee friendly sessions, or pregnancy. The filters label classes; they aren’t medical advice.

Already own adjustable dumbbells? Add them to an equipment profile and your plan works with what you have. Automatic recognition stays with Tempo’s own weights.

Progress you can check.

Plans run in four-week blocks with a test at each end, so the change is measured, not guessed. Every lift keeps its record, your history stays with your profile, and badges mark the milestones.

If you choose, a supported iPhone scan estimates body composition so you can follow the trend. Estimates, not a diagnosis.

Built by a trainer.

Moawia Eldeeb found his strength with coaches at a local YMCA and went on to train others. With co-founder Josh Augustin, he built Tempo to bring that kind of coaching home.

“To give everyone the power to realize their strength and lead an active, full life.”
