Tempo Move review: a great idea with terrible connectivity - The Verge

The Tempo Move is an affordable smart gym that costs $495. While it has a clever design, great classes, and real-time form feedback, it’s plagued by unreliable connectivity.

When I first got a sneak peek of the Tempo Move last year, I was stoked. Here was a $495 smart gym that would not only fit into my tiny apartment but also wouldn’t look out of place. It used the iPhone’s TrueDepth camera tech to track your movements, the classes were great, and the design was so clever I was gobsmacked. And, if it weren’t for annoying connectivity issues, the Tempo Move might’ve been my favorite connected fitness gadget that I’ve tested in the past year.

When it comes to at-home gyms, most players in this space struggle with price and size. The most recognizable gadgets — like the Peloton Bike Plus or Tonal — will set you back thousands of dollars and they’re impossible to disguise in your home. That’s not the case with the Tempo Move. It looks like an end table straight out of West Elm, or if you have the black version like I tested, a sleek subwoofer. I usually have to rearrange my furniture to fit larger fitness gadgets in my New York City apartment, but this time, I didn’t have to at all. Plus, it took my husband several months to notice the Move was even there.
