My TLDR on tempo

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 get unlimited personal training sessions at home an insane price.
2. I get feedback from my Trainer during my workouts.
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. I feel more accountability to stick with it.
4. My Trainer automatically adjusts my workouts for me
5. I can jump into a session and be back to my day in under 45 mins.
It’s easy to say “I’m too busy to workout” – I’m just as guilty as anyone. But having my Tempo Trainer so accessible makes it really hard to use time as the excuse. Even when I’m super crunched for time, I can throw on my workout gear, jump into a 25 minute session, and be back in my home office clothes by the time my heart rate settles down. I’m able to squeeze in a morning training session more easily, or make it up in the evening and still have time to get everything else done for the day. Usually this level of convenience comes for a price, but with Tempo it feels like I’m getting way more for way less.
I’m totally sold on Training with Tempo.
