Tempo kicks off pre-orders for at-home workout device that intelligently corrects form
Summary
Tempo (formerly Pivot), a startup that’s building a consumer workout device that tracks movements via sensor, has opened up sales for its first product, which it will begin shipping in the summer. Called the Tempo Studio, the product takes the form of an in-home cabinet housing a 42-inch screen and a 3D vision camera that scans the user 30 times per second. Along with dumbbells, free weights, a heart rate monitor and other tools included with the $1,995 purchase, the system guides users through their workouts while correcting their form if necessary. The company is hoping that its 3D camera, automatic tracking and immediate form correction will offer its users a more dynamic support system than they’ll find elsewhere. “In my own life, having someone who could teach me, inspire me, and hold me accountable made all the difference,” Moawia Eldeeb, CEO and founder, said in a statement announcing the company’s $17 million Series A funding round.
