健身界智能镜子
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的微软体感似的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。它安装在一个独立的橱柜里，柜里整齐地收纳锻炼用的杠铃、哑铃、可拆卸配重片、训练垫、恢复泡沫辊和心率监护仪。
Tempo首席执行官兼联合创始人Moawia Eldeeb说：“市场上的每一种产品其实就是健身房的健身器材上贴个屏幕。你要能看到用户以真正地对他们进行指导，让他们安全锻炼。我们希望健身训练从一开始就形成体验感，而体验感的核心是互动。”
Tempo的使命是让人们的生活变得更好。它会引导用户进行一个初步的电脑视觉化健康评估来了解你的力量与柔韧性，从而设置锻炼基准。如果你受伤了需要复键，Tempo会为你联系私人教练，帮助你量身定制健身计划。如果没有受伤，它会用你的目标和数据来制定一套难度逐渐升级的渐进式训练计划。它甚至阻止你跳到后面的课程，这样你就不会伤到自己。
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，但它提供的个人培训场景比100美元起步的面对面培训更为实惠。
我的锻炼计划从指导课程开始，这些课程教你如何安全、正确地进行锻炼。当我做下蹲动作弯腰前倾时，Tempo的计算机视觉系统会做出及时反应响铃提醒我膝盖向后并挺胸。一旦我纠正了这个问题，它就会用小小的绿色对勾来祝贺我。
然后，我可以在不同的课程风格和长度之间进行选择，从高强度的间歇训练到专注于特定肌肉群的单独训练。在每一个课程中，你会看到一个真人大小的私人教练在你面前做示范动作，他们一边做动作示范一边说着鼓励的话。
