The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Tempo.

  • Heart rate monitor requires direct line of sight to connect and frequently loses connection during workouts
  • Form feedback can be inconsistent and often misses nuance in exercise execution
  • Weight guidance recommendations are frequently inaccurate
  • Loud cooling fan sounds like a server or gaming PC, creating noise disturbance during workouts
  • High cost of entry plus ongoing $39/month subscription with penalties for returns
