The Tempo Studio is the latest smart home gym amongst many. I have personally tested and reviewed nearly every one of their competitors on the market from Tonal, Peloton, Mirror, Nordictrack Vault, and many others.
In this Tempo Studio Review, I detail what it’s been like to workout on over the past 6 months. I compare it to the competition, and give feedback on things that I think can be improved.
The Smart Home Gym Revolution has just begun…in my opinion. This is one of the leading entrants.

Hey bro, just wanted to say…I don’t care about this product AT ALL. I prefer old school equipment. But, I watch every single one of your videos to completion to support you. You are bar none the best fitness reviewer on UA-cam and I really appreciate it! I have used your advice to build my entire gym. Keep killing it bro!
We appreciate the support. -Mike, GGR Community Manager
for real...this garbage annoys the hell out of me.
While I don't have any plans to get something like this I can see where for a lot of people this type of thing would work well. Coops the best and keeps getting better. This type of review will broaden his audience.
Yeah, go for it Coop. These things are kinda interesting .
That thing is so underpowered and laggy they should be ashamed asking that much money, they are making a killing off of that. Pass
I'm never going to pay 2,500$ plus, to then have to pay 40$ a month to use a piece of gym equipment. Huge rip off too me.
Its about the demographic and similar to peloton, it’s geared toward the at home or dad or a work from home setting where getting to the gym might be tough. Also people who may have anxiety working out in front of others. I agree its too expensive
@@hrshy491777 Yeah, but even for that you just need a floor, and some bar stuck somewhere high enough.
And that's for free.
Also for 2500 you could have a good home gym traditional setup.
This thing is a fail. The only ones who'd buy this are fitness equipment aficionados like coop and semi professional athletes.
oh dear you have to subscribe too jfc
@@hrshy491777 More like geared to a CEO's son that has no idea about fitness but wants to get in shape, while flexing his money.
I think all of you guys bashing this because all you need is "a floor and a bar" might not be thinking about the normal person like me who wants a trainer, wants to get in shape, but doesn't want to hang around all the massive lifters down at the gym. So many of you long-time lifters have been doing it for so long, it all seems second nature to you, but its not that way for everyone. This is who the Tempo is geared for, not you guys.
I am
Beyond happy with my studio. It’s been amazing. No issues at all! Best part. NO mounting!!! And the community and coaches can NOT be beat! Truly!
"it's $2500", "it doesn't work well without a subscription".... review could have started and ended just with that.
This is probably the only channel that I watch every video even if I have no interest in that particular piece of equipment.
We appreciate that support. - Mike, GGR Community Manager

Good review. I’ve had mine since February and love it.
Thank you for continuing to create clear, concise, and useful content. I would love to see more fitness tech reviews from you.
I was curious to learn more details about the software's user experience, such as the accuracy of the rep counting, what form feedback you receive, and how it progressively overloads the user. Stuff like that.
Thanks again.
I felt like it was pretty accurate on the rep counting, the software was a pretty smooth, and overall good experience. -Mike, GGR Community Manager.
@@GarageGymReviews I appreciate the information and your quick reply.
Just checked the website they do 36 months with zero percent interest and a 3 year warranty. Not too bad if you're really into classes and don't want to go heavy. Also that is probably the cleanest home gym set up I've ever seen.
I was shocked by how interactive classes are, the camera, and the how clean it was. -Mike, GGR Community Manager.
I sent mine back. There is a common glitch (loose wire connection) that does not allow new users to set up (even with "White Glove" delivery). Customer service was horrible...they wanted us to do a zoom call with a tech and work on it ourselves (gave us a list of tools to have on hand!) Bottom line...not worth it, but the soft close hinges are Awesome! The return process was a joke, but we got it done after 2 months.
I sold mine. Tempo had a buy-back program, did a Zoom assessment, found the machine to be in good condition and wanted to buy it back for $1,000. Yeah. No.
As a millennial and renter I love this option. It’s great because whenever I move I just pack this up and go. I will probably live downtown my whole life not really a suburb kinda guy. This is perfect for me when I wanna workout which isn’t like every single day
Looks like you upgraded you video quality too. Smooth camera work, adding sounds bites and effects... Good work!
Appreciate that, a lot of hard work going into the videos. -Mike, GGR Community Manager
You really have the best reviews! Thank you!
Was waiting to see this one, ever since it was spotted by the Griffin rack in the old swing space! Thanks Coop!
It's pretty legit for a smart home gym piece. - Mike, GGR Community Manager.
Love the new place! Have to ask one question as I'm about to upgrade my home gym significantly...what's the flooring you're using. It's crisp, clean, and looks like you could adjust it pretty easily
Tempo is for sale on Best Buy /starter with accessory pack for 1499.99 as of 12/29/2022. I think that's a great price.
Amazing review like always !!! My wife wants the mirror i would love to see your review on that , thx coop !!!
Thank you, I've used the Tempo and really like it but I have not used the Mirror yet. It looks sweet. -Mike, GGR Community Manager.
The reviews I've read on the mirror are negative in that the images of the trainers are so small on screen you have to squint to see them well. The images on the Tempo, on the other hand, are much larger and easier to follow their instructions and mimic their form. I'd stick with your Tempo mainly for that reason.@@GarageGymReviews
nice review..thanks! Id love to see you get your hands on the JaxJox interactive studio and review that. Your reviews are so in depth, its really helpful.
Thank you for this thorough review. I am evaluating this against tonal and nordittack vault
If you want any gains you will have to actually lift the whole device.
Going to be honest I’m pretty sure the target audience is a casual fitness user, especially good for people who rent. I am really excited to get the move version this because of the classes the compact & sleek size.
Coop - Looking forward to seeing your new Garage Gym setup. Your new flooring looks awesome. Can you provide a sneak peek on the flooring now, i.e., what is it and do you like it?
Hey Jefty, It is Eleiko sound dampening flooring. -Mike, GGR Community Manager
shop.eleiko.com/en-us/equipment/flooring/elt1-000153-qb-eleiko-floor-tile-nordic-night?ref=GY65fxs5WPI12
I liked the slow motion thinking tongue around the 9 minute mark (bit before it).
Great review as always man. Nice stache by the way..can always respat a gentleman w/ a nicely groomed stache!
I own the tempo hydrow Nordic track vault and just ordered the tonal
Hey Garage team, not sure if you are still responding to comments, I recall you saying in the Tonal review that two people could workout together and it would know when you switched, does the Tempo or the Mirror also do this?
Love your reviews - your honesty and how you list pluses and minuses. I have owned the Mirror since October 2019. BEST feature that distinguishes it from EVERYONE else the personal training. I do not enjoy classes where you can have horrible form and not be corrected. The Personal Trainers on the Mirror are TOPs in their industry. They write individual programs for people that match the equipment YOU own, the Health history of the client as well as the personal goals and abilities. The only issues I have had with Mirror are technical. Lots of Wifi issues and glitches.
Wow! So when doing the workouts on Mirror is there a trainer watching your form in real time or are you trying to move like they move by making your reflection fit on their body on the screen?
@@thomasbrown7328 The trainer is working one on one with just ME in real time! And trust me, they can see very clearly - correct direction of my feet, remind me to knit my ribs, even can tell if I chose to light of weights!
I love my Tempo Fit Studio. The system has a 3D camera that will correct your form when you are doing it incorrectly. It tells you to brace core or whatever the problem might be. It will also count your reps and pace per reps. The trainers are also amazing. Live classes are amazing too.
@@terrychamberlain9991 and just today I learned Mirror is discontinuing personal training sessions.
@@bonnief181 that’s unfortunate. For an additional $30 per month a Tempo trainer will provide a weekly training program based on what you’re looking for.
Hey Coop, do a product review on the Arch Nemesis Swiss Bar from Bells of Steel. Its similar to the Kabuki bar at a fraction of the cost and has a attachment point on it for Lat Pulls etc.. just a thought man keep up the quality content! 👍🏼
he's too busy drooling over junk like this
At 45 seconds in..that high/low tower with what looks like it also has an adjustable cable in the middle, what is that!? What brand?
This is ok, but I love my barbell, squat rack, adjustable dumbbells, & my diy pulley system. I love to hear the sound of cast iron weights.
I can't imagine why I would pick this over , for example a set of powerblocks or loadable dumbells and barbell of my choice and whatever routine etc. on an ipad or phone, etc.
I enjoyed some aspects of mine but sold it for a Tonal + returned to the gym. The primary reason was not being able to swiftly swap weights.
yeah the lack of adjustable dumbbells or speed to change weights is making me look elsewhere.
I bought one for the home when Covid had gyms shutting down or made you wear a mask (so stupid!). I already had several various dumbbells so we would set up a few of the weights Tempo included plus just have a few additional weights nearby to grab. Just not a big deal at all and so easy to switch weights without having to pause the workout to take the included ones apart all the time. Duh!@@chughes1
Not really my style of equipment, but def watched for support. Please to get your hands on the new rep dual cable attachment for the 4000/5000 series. They estimated they will be available 2022, but I want to see if it’s possible to have it and the lever arms.
Thanks for the review I was considering it seriously.the big selling point for me was not having to have it mounted on the wall. I really don’t want that. I continue to wait I guess.
It definitely makes a difference that it is able to be free standing, Very stable and no fear of it getting accidentally knocked over.-Mike, GGR Community Manager
I have a question on the 25 pound weights, tempo support says they are not bumper plates, just coated steel like all the lower weights but I've heard you call them bumper plates. Are they actually bumper plates because that seems to be the only way to justify their price on it.
Many in the comments aren’t understanding that this suits those new to fitness and/or with limited space.
How does this save space
6:58 "Someone that deadlifts 800lb like me"
Cool device and cool review, Coop. Not bad for a 1st gen implementation of an all in one device with free weight use and structured programming to follow. If they're moderately successful with this, gen 2 or 3 should be very nice. Faster processor, better screen and agree on adjustable dumbbells for quick convenience. Looking forward to what the future brings in this arena.
Iam more interested on the rack behind😊 is that a titan rack? I have a rhino belt squat and wanna drop it into a cheaper rack
Major selling point for me is the ai incremented weights progressive overload. I am to lazy to calculate reps to fatigue or reps in reserve with sets on sets. I don't know if I'm getting stronger or if working out is working because I can't advance 5lbs on a hex dumbell for a curl or tricep push back so it's so discouraging going to the gym lifting the same weights.
Thank you
Could you use your own weights and barbells if you wanted to go heavier?
Or are you restricted to their stuff?
You can use your own and go heavier. You may need to finagle some of the settings ( like telling it you own certain pates that you don't) but I use non adjustable dumbbells on mine all the time
Coop!! Any plans to do an Inspire FTX?
Really glad I went with tonal versus this.
This just really does feel like a tv with a basic set of weights you could get pretty cheap off marketplace. I know it does form feedback, which is cool, but not worth the huge price for it.
The digital weight on tonal is just unbelievable. It's amazing and something you won't get anywhere else.
One thing I didn't see mentioned, how much was the white glove service for install?
White glove service is factored into the price of the item no extra charge
I got tempo, nordic track vault, hydrow, , peloton and love it..also ordered tonal
Yeah not for me but I watch you videos. Always nice to see new ideas. I have very little space. So it takes time
They should have used the adjustable weights that adjust by laying the dumbell in a base, rotate and easily add more plates.
When’s the peloton review? I bought one and love it, so of course I want you to review it and agree!
Wack
Hey Coop- any thoughts on OxeFit XS1? It looks like Tonal and Tempo on steroids. Also, as others have said, you're the best in the review business. GGR is the first thing I check when researching equipment. Thank you.
Not interested in the product just watch all of your videos! I use all of your advice to build my homegym! Keep it up!
How do you choose what you review? Can I submit something for review?
Hope you can give me a review of the Vitruvian form trainer ..stay safe pal
I'm not interested in this product, but always like your reviews. Still waiting for for G20 review.
What do you think about it now since this review was a year ago
Hi Coop, how do you think these type of products will age and depreciate? Plates and bars have a value always, it's like putting your money in gold bar. What about these?
It’s electronics. Like everything else electronic/techy, it will be worthless in 3-4 years. Gotta upgrade lol
@@alaefarmestatesllc my thoughts exactly. In the process of building my own garage gym, need a rack and bench but the used items are priced higher than new. I know the bar and plates I've bought will retain most of their value, makes the initial outlay easier to stomach
I love these videos. How on earth does he afford all the equipment? Did he co-create Apple??
This might be something you don’t have an answer to but I’ve heard that was tempo you have to have an iPhone, but I am wondering is does this equipment work with voiceover which is the speech software that allows you to scroll through if you cannot see the screen it reads it back to you.
The tempo core requires a phone because you use it with a tv to connect the screen. I love the Tempo Fit Studio app because I can schedule classes for different days of the week that will pop up on my system so I’m able to plan out workouts ahead of time. It’s great!
What is the discount code? I clicked the link and it didn’t work.
Have you heard about Vitruvian? Maybe a chance to review it?
Can you use your own dumbbells, bench, kettlebells with it??
I use my own bench and my system came with the kettle ball base that I can add weight to.
Fine, but how is the knurling?
I envy you Coop. You get to play with the best toys.
He really does have the best job in the world. -Mike, GGR Community Manager
Idk Coop - the Freemotion Genesis behind it is looking REALLY sexy
Can you use your own adjustable dumbells? Not that I would get it. Old school for me.
Yeah you could for sure. -Mike, GGR Community Manager
I’m confused on the subscription. Like let’s say I’m paying for a year, have I paid it in full already and the equipment is mine? Or do I have to keeping paying after and that means I return it?
I pay monthly for the membership.
@@terrychamberlain9991 do you have to wait a year before you cancel?
Why making this all in one piece of equipment vs just having this as an app, chrome cast it to a TV, pay your subscription and buy maybe their 3D camera which will connect via bluetooth to your phone... easier pill to swallow for your wallet and you more versatile since you can maybe update your phone or TV for a better experience.
Too easy a commitment son! Gotta sucker them in and leech 40 each month!
That is what the Tempo Move is which I’m not sure was our 5 months ago or not?
The first time I saw this thing I thought if you have to sling the bar over your back to squat you aren't squatting heavy enough.
REVIEW REP FT-5000 FUNCTIONAL TRAINER PLEASE
Awesome review, cheers. One piece of feedback if you want to hear it: I would have loved if the ratings corresponded with with chapters on the UA-cam playback bar. other than that, really good!
basically, if you drop the $40/mo sub at any time, you have a very expensive brick. Hard pass.
We need you to review speediance
That touch screen looked slow when you were scrolling.
I had no issues with it when I I was using but I see what you mean in the video. - Mike, GGR Community Manager
3:33 ,yh thats def microsofts azure 3d camera, looks exactly the same anyway
Been watching recently quite a few of your videos as looking to find best way to get fit at home. Dont know your full story, but no offence, i am surprised that for a person who seems to have all equipment one can dream about, you are quite slender... is that your choice of not wanting to put more muscle mass on?
Would love to see a review of the Vitruvian V Form, looks like a good form factor but the only reviews are on their own channel which seems fishy. 🐟
There’s no squat rack, what if I need help? I can’t just lay it down on something.
You can purchase one separately or purchase the deluxe model.
Ay what happened to your last video. I was watching it mid way and then went private.
All that for free weight training?
That bar is Mickey Mahse
this on my list of things to get...when i win the lottery
Coop. You sold out. Initial cost + 40$ a month to lift 100lbs?
GARAGE GYM:
This product is available now at Best Buy for $1500. How would that effect tour Total Value Score?
I think I find these "technology" advancements fascinating, interesting to stay on top of, etc and get that there's probably a market for it.... and know that I will likely never be the target demographic for these total gym things. But knowledge is power, the more you know, knowing is half the battle and all that. So sure, do a review once in a while, just don't dominate your content with this type of stuff.
Please review virtual reality workouts Coop! Would make a great video an oculus is $300 and it's a fully immersive experience. I think the value is there as you can go subscription or the one-time purchase game route... Even Dana white president of the UFC says the thrill of the fight game is a great workout.
Lastly, you will also broaden your audience and cater to VR enthusiasts not gym home gym enthusiasts... Just an idea love the content
Wack
hey guys its COOP!
Is it a touchscreen?
Yes.
I have a Tonal... and an Ergatta as my "Smart Home Gym" items
Both are great.
I agree, they can provide a great workout. -Mike, GGR Community Manager
I think Tonal kills this. It offers advanced features with the motorized resistance (like adjusting resistance curves and eccentric overload) that you genuinely can't do on your own with free weights and can actually help with hypertrophic or performance outcomes. This is just a TV with UA-cam, a webcam and dumbbells that are going to be too light for most male trainees.
Agree with almost everything having owned both except the weights. You can buy as many as you please. I had the 25 and 45 lb extras.
While I can agree with and see your side I think it also comes down to what you have room for. I would have gone with a tonal if I could fit it in the only space I had available for it. That and I'm about to have a kid this winter and need something at the house to do whenever I get a chance to as I need to maintain my fitness for my job. So my options were limited. However for what it is, I can still make the most of it and it by no means is a bad smart home gym setup
What extra info will the 3d camera provide for my guardian FBI agent?
Are you making money from the discount code? If so really feel like you should disclose these kinds of things.
Coop!
Boom goes the dynamite
This thing is pretty sweet, I really enjoyed working with it.- Mike. GGR Community Manager.
Pretty sure Coop shows up a few times in this video…
ua-cam.com/video/8F0Uo0e9BrM/v-deo.html
Try 2:47
Idc what anyone says I refuse to believe anyone would buy a tonal unless they’re a suburban mom lol 😂
Well you would be wrong then.
@@kaisawilson2207 it’s a joke haha
Are you talking about tonal? Have you tried it?
What’s the review a year later
He’s clearly been sponsored by them
Yeah….it looks cool, but dude, that $2500 would buy some dope bells, and plates…give me those and some rings and a pull up bar and I’m good.
Not enough knurling
I thought you deadlifted close to 2000 lbs?
I'll never buy gym equipment that has a monthly subscription. Just straight up, not happening. But I still enjoy these videos and seeing what companies are doing
I suspect Coup thinks the smart fitness gear is a good idea....but rarely actually uses it. You want to throw heavy shit around in the rack, not play Mario cart and get sweaty.
Tbf I think it looks like a cheap restaurant billboard.
What happened to your horse stall mats? Hmm somebody's getting fancy...
