If you’ve ever lusted after the idea of having a personal trainer but always assumed it was out of reach, I know the feeling. It’s a lot to consider – is the cost worth it? Will I have enough time to make it worth it? What if I don’t like my Trainer?
1. I train at home. Anytime. At a super low price.
2. My trainer gives corrections in real time.
One of the best things about working with a Trainer is knowing that you’re doing exactly what you should be doing and doing it correctly. When I train with Tempo, I get all of that same guidance – how much weight to lift, how many reps to do, how deep to squat, and feedback when my form is off. Because of this, I find that I’m lifting heavier and smarter than I ever would have myself and I can see that paying off in more definition in my arms and legs. But it even works the other way too – if I fall out of form or not hitting my rep targets, my Trainer will see that and recommend a lighter weight. All of these responsive, real-time cues help me get the most out of every session, which motivates me to keep coming back for more.
3. This is the most consistent I've ever worked out.
4. My Trainer automatically adjusts my workouts for me
This was the unexpected magic from my Tempo Trainer that I really love. When I synced the app with my Apple Watch, my Trainer is able to factor in things like my sleep quality, heart rate variability, and other activity I’ve done, then adapts my daily recommendation for duration, intensity, and upper or lower body based on how well I’ve recovered since the last session. It is so cool, and feels like there’s really a human being behind the scenes programming my daily workout. And if I ever want to make a manual adjustment to the intensity or duration of my session, it’s a really easy swap to make.
I’m totally sold on Training with Tempo.
