Tempo Move

Score
The hypertrophy-focused smart home gym - real dumbbells plus a 3D-scan camera that catches form errors. Smaller footprint than Tonal but still requires the same Wi-Fi and class commitment.

Verdict: The smaller, cheaper sibling of Tempo Studio — a closet-sized cabinet of real iron dumbbells with phone-based 3D form tracking, for apartment-dwelling beginners who value the form safety net.
Specs that matter
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Weights | Adjustable iron, up to 75 lb/side |
| Form tracking | 3D depth camera (skeletonized) |
| Hardware price | $495 |
| Subscription | $39/mo (mandatory for smart features) |
| 5-year cost | $2,835 |
What you get
- Real free weights — unambiguous load progression, unlike cable machines
- 3D depth-camera form tracking — catches knee valgus and incomplete lockouts, genuinely useful for beginners
- Small footprint — fits a closet, corner, or hallway
What you give up
- 75 lb/side ceiling — most lifters outgrow it within 18 months on compounds
- Mandatory $39/mo — drop it and you have a $495 dumbbell cabinet; smaller library than Peloton/iFIT
Buy it if you're an apartment beginner/intermediate who wants form coaching and structured programming. Skip it if you already bench over 135 lb, are subscription-skeptical, or would do better with a $400 PowerBlock set plus the Peloton App.
Garage Gym Reviews rated the form-tracking best in the category, though there's no peer-reviewed efficacy data for camera-based form correction. Note Tempo's restructuring — connected-strength carries platform risk.
