Tempo想要成为杠铃界的Peloton(美国互动健身平台)。它有42英寸高的屏幕,带有3D机器视觉,在你锻炼时进行追踪和指导。这个巨型立式高清显示器给你的感觉就像身边有个私人教练,你可以在直播和点播课程中和其他人比赛。
Tempo’s Microsoft Kinect-esque motion sensors scan you 30 times per second and notify you if your form is wrong. It’s all housed in a sleekly designed free-standing cabinet that neatly stores the included barbells, dumbbells, attachable weights, workout mat, recovery foam roller, and heartrate monitor.
Tempo的微软Kinect运动传感器每秒对你扫描30次,如果动作有误,它就会通知你。它安装在一个设计精巧的独立式橱柜里,柜里整齐地收纳锻炼用的杠铃、哑铃、附加重量、训练垫、恢复泡沫辊和心率监护仪。

“Every single product in the market took a piece of equipment out of a gym and slapped a screen on it” says Tempo CEO and co-founder Moawia Eldeeb. “You need to be able to see a user to actually be able to give them guidance so they can work out safely. We wanted to build a fitness experience from the ground up with training and form feedback at the core of it.”
Tempo首席执行官兼联合创始人Moawia Eldeeb说:“市场上的产品其实就是健身房的健身器材上贴个屏幕。你需要能看到用户来真正地对他们进行指导,让他们安全锻炼。我们想要从开始锻炼的时候就建立一种健身体验,并在其核心形成反馈。”
I demo’d Tempo this week and found the in-home convenience, motivational on-screen personal trainers, and the real-time posture corrections gave me the confidence to lift weights without the fear of injury. It might not feel quite as fun and addictive as Peloton, but it offers a facsimile of personal training that’s more affordable than in-person classes that cost $100 or more.
我本周试用了Tempo,发现宅家锻炼的便利、能给你动力的屏幕上的私人教练,以及实时的动作纠正让我有信心在举起重量时不用担心会受伤。它可能没有Peloton那么有趣、让人上瘾,但它能显示你锻炼的图像,比当面授课划算,当面授课最少也要100美元。
The idea of democratizing access to trainers is what convinced Eldeeb and the Tempo team to stretch its initial $1.8 million in seed funding for four years. While collecting data from its SmartSpot in-gym weight lifting assessment device, Tempo survived long enough to build this prototype.
使锻炼的人都能有接触教练的机会这一想法使Eldeeb和Tempo的团队将最初180万美元的种子基金延长4年。Tempo利用健身房内的举重评估装置SmartSpot健身镜来收集数据,历经很长时间才制作出了产品原型。
