We haven't tested it yet, though: Stay tuned for a review later this year when we get one. If you're looking for a connected weight workout system that can track and coach movement, it seems like an intriguing option. The workouts focus on classes and training, and have yoga, cardio and strength training focus, along with dumbbell workouts (barbell and kettlebells are coming in 2022). According to Tempo, the accuracy and tracking range will improve when using the lidar-equipped iPhone Pro models.Īmazon's Halo subscription fitness services uses phone cameras to measure body fat composition and movement, but video-based subscription workouts like Apple Fitness Plus and Amazon's upcoming service don't use cameras to track specific body movement yet. The workouts recognize body movement through Apple's iPhones that use infrared technology: front-facing Face ID-equipped iPhones (from the XR/XS onwards), with support for rear lidar on the iPhone 12 Pro and 13 Pro after that. The iPhone docks on top (there's also HDMI to output to a TV). The set comes with 50 pounds of dumbbell weights inside a corner table-sized console that just looks like regular furniture. It's also a lot less room-demanding, from the demo I saw of the equipment over a Zoom call. The Tempo Move still needs a monthly $39 subscription price, but shaving the cost of the equipment way down could make the concept far more appealing.
