It’s also an elegant, convenient way to stay on top of your weight-training goals, assuming those goals aren’t too hardcore. The technology is seamless, the equipment is top notch, and it has a beautiful 4K tablet-screen. I can find a million excuses to skimp out on leg day if I’m feeling demotivated, but I genuinely look forward to learning new exercises, nutrition tips, and workout strategies from my new team of personal trainers.
I have to admit, I was a little dubious about putting my fitness routine in the hands of a machine, but after using it for about a month, I’m honestly hooked. (As of this writing, I only counted over 250 classes, but the value of the Vault increases somewhat if you own other iFit-enabled equipment, such as a treadmill or stationary bike.)Īll three smart gyms require a monthly subscription of $39, but from where I’m standing, if you’re willing to shell out that kind of coin, the Tempo Studio is the best value overall it’s a premium product, no question about it, but you do get what you pay for - in a good way, for once. The $2,999 NordicTrack Vault combines the sleek reflectivity of the Mirror with similar gym accessories as the Tempo Studio, and its iFit class offerings are just as robust. The $1,495 Mirror is another viable option, and it takes up a lot less space, but you won’t get the same strength-training elements (ex, weights, barbells/dumbbells) bundled in. Of course, the Tempo Studio isn’t the only smart home gym in town. Note: If form-correction is important to you, Kemtai is a laptop-based fitness app that uses your device's webcam to track 44 different data points on your body and provide real-time feedback as necessary - no extra equipment required. It’s a nice accountability feature, and it sort of gamifies your workout as I went through each exercise, maintaining proper form became an organic goal of mine simply to avoid being reprimanded by a computer. Keep your back stable and isolate the targeted muscle.” As I corrected my form in real time, a green check mark appeared on screen to let me know I was on the right track during the next rep. (For those concerned about privacy, never fear: the 3D sensor may track your movement, but it doesn’t record any actual video.) For example, during one particularly draining dumbbell shoulder press set, the system advised that I was leaning backward slightly: “You’re leaning or swaying with your back to help complete a rep. What makes the Tempo Studio unique is its 3D motion capture system, which uses artificial intelligence to analyze your form and provide real-time feedback as you work out.
Thanks to that ginormous screen, it honestly felt like I was in the same room with them, resulting in a surprising amount of intimacy for solo workouts. (As each workout progresses, you can pause to adjust the weights as necessary if they’re too heavy or light.) The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and pleasantly conversational they meticulously guide you through every movement, emphasizing proper form and technique all the way.
LIVE HOME 3D PRO REVIEW SOFTWARE
Tempo truly takes out any guesswork with their onscreen instruction before each class, the software tells you what equipment you’ll be using, and what weights to load up based on your fitness profile. (They can stick a little when taking them on and off, but that’s a minor annoyance at worst.) The plates are coated with a soft, rubber-like material that’s easy on the fingers when re-racking weights, and easier on your floor than standard all-metal plates. The bars felt great, and their knurls were plenty comfortable to grip. This results in a more gym-like experience for those used to plated workouts, and much better customization when it comes to swapping out weights, since Tempo includes 1.25 and 2.5-pound plates with every Studio bundle. Unlike the NordicTrack Vault, which includes different pairs of dumbbells for each and every weight (between 5 and 30 pounds, in increments of 5 pounds), Tempo opted for removable plates, which can be swapped out at will on the 7.5-pound dumbbell bars and 25-pound barbell. I also recommend getting some exercise mats (opens in new tab) for your workout area to avoid damaging the floor with any dropped weights a quarter inch will do the trick. You’ll definitely need a lifting buddy (ironically) to move this thing around. The tower weighs 100 pounds by itself, but with the weights racked (and barbells hung in the back), the whole apparatus clocks in at about 215 pounds.
