Tempo Studio adds new equipment for more of that gym experience at home

Tempo Studio is already esteemed for offering its users a complete home gym experience, due in part to its focus on strength training with its bundled gym accessories and equipment, but now it’s being made even better with the addition of more equipment. Today, the company announced its suite of new accessories and expanded on-demand workouts to make the home gym experience even more personal.

Right from the onset, the Tempo Studio was unique in the world of smart fitness displays because it included weights, dumbbells, and a barbell that allowed users to challenge themselves when building muscles — unlike its rivals, like Mirror, which merely focused on high-intensity workouts and your body weight for strength training.

The first of the new equipment is a brand new kettlebell system, which leverages the existing weight plates that come with Tempo Studio. The bar and handle allow for quick adjustments to make the kettlebell conducive to your workouts, so you’re never over- or under-exerting yourself. The second is a folding squat rack that adds safety by allowing users to add the necessary weights to the barbell. And lastly, the folding bench adds a new layer of activity with Tempo Studio workouts, since many exercises were traditionally done on the ground. For example. bench presses are now more natural in form because you’ll be sitting on the folding bench with the squat rack safely holding the barbell — just like you would do in a normal gym setting.

With the addition of these new pieces of equipment, you may be wondering how and where they’re stored when they’re not being used. While Tempo Studio does a phenomenal job of tucking away plates in a storage compartment just beneath its display, and the barbells and dumbbells are hung in the rear, the squat rack and bench press can be folded for easy storage — while a new weight plate storage accessory will house the heavier weight plates introduced by the company last year.

Even though there’s a focus on strength training through its on-demand and live classes, its selection of workouts now includes boxing and yoga. New customers will have three new packages to choose from: Tempo Starter at $2,495, Tempo Plus at $3,245, and Tempo Pro at $3,995. They’re differentiated by the various new accessories that were mentioned above, but you can learn more about the specifics of what they come with on Tempo Studio’s website.

And lastly, its $39 monthly subscription service provides users with unlimited live and on-demand classes with proper form and coaching with its unique artificial intelligence-powered sensors.

Lululemon’s purchase of Mirror proves home gyms are the future of fitness
mirror at home gym experience with weight training

It's already mid-July, and I haven’t stepped foot in my local gym since March. In New Jersey, small businesses slowly began to reopen in June for the summer rush, but gyms and other fitness related centers have remained closed. There's no definitive date they’ll be able to reopen again. As the pandemic continued, people sought out in-home gym solutions as a temporary solution. Now, as lockdowns return in some states and drag on in others, it's unclear if most people will ever feel comfortable setting foot in a gym again.

Lululemon’s purchase of fitness tech startup Mirror sheds light on the future of the fitness industry. It signals a new paradigm, fueled mainly by fear of getting sick or being exposed to someone who is asymptomatic. It opens the door for home gyms, fitness apps, and other subscription-based fitness services to take precedence. Gyms will never be the same.
Working out around your schedule
Exercising on your time is one aspect that makes these new fitness solutions attractive over the traditional gym experience. It’s tough to force yourself to exercise, and it’s even tougher when you have to juggle workouts with work and commuting. Fitness apps and home gyms eliminate some of the stress. Once people get accustomed to the convenience, they may not want to go back to larger gyms.

ClipDart is an on-demand barber app aimed at people of color
ClipDart founder, Kyle Parker.

It’s funny how we can take certain things for granted, like haircuts. Over the course of more than 50 years of living in different cities, different neighborhoods, or even visiting different countries, not once have I ever worried about whether I could find someone who could cut my hair the way I liked. Then again, I’m white.

But if you’re a person of color, it can be an entirely different experience. That’s what Kyle Parker discovered when he left his hometown of Chicago in 2013 to attend Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, population 9,031. While 24% of Grinnell College’s students identify themselves as people of color, fewer than 10% of residents of the city of Grinnell would say the same of themselves.
