Tempo想要成為杠鈴界的Peloton(美國互動健身平臺)。它有42英寸高的屏幕,帶有3D機器視覺,在你鍛煉時進行追蹤和指導。這個巨型立式高清顯示器給你的感覺就像身邊有個私人教練,你可以在直播和點播課程中和其他人比賽。
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的微軟Kinect運動傳感器每秒對你掃描30次,如果動作有誤,它就會通知你。它安裝在一個設計精巧的獨立式櫥柜里,柜里整齊地收納鍛煉用的杠鈴、啞鈴、附加重量、訓練墊、恢復泡沫輥和心率監(jiān)護儀。
“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首席執(zhí)行官兼聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人Moawia Eldeeb說:“市場上的產(chǎn)品其實就是健身房的健身器材上貼個屏幕。你需要能看到用戶來真正地對他們進行指導,讓他們安全鍛煉。我們想要從開始鍛煉的時候就建立一種健身體驗,并在其核心形成反饋。”
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.
我本周試用了Tempo,發(fā)現(xiàn)宅家鍛煉的便利、能給你動力的屏幕上的私人教練,以及實時的動作糾正讓我有信心在舉起重量時不用擔心會受傷。它可能沒有Peloton那么有趣、讓人上癮,但它能顯示你鍛煉的圖像,比當面授課劃算,當面授課最少也要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.
使鍛煉的人都能有接觸教練的機會這一想法使Eldeeb和Tempo的團隊將最初180萬美元的種子基金延長4年。Tempo利用健身房內(nèi)的舉重評估裝置SmartSpot健身鏡來收集數(shù)據(jù),歷經(jīng)很長時間才制作出了產(chǎn)品原型。
