The Tempo Studio is a versatile set that puts an entire weight room, trainer included, into one compact package. The main component is a self-standing touchscreen in which you can queue up classes any time, anywhere. But what really sets it apart is its AI, which tracks your moves via 3D sensors and gives you real-time feedback on your form. There’s also automatic rep counting, weight guidance and personalized training plans that’ll help you make the most out of your workout, as if you were working with a live trainer.
The Tempo Studio is available in three different packages, from the basic Starter set to the weight room-worthy Pro package. To stream workouts, you’ll have to purchase a Tempo membership, too (it’s $39 a month and offers up to six accounts). That said, both the app and the entire Tempo Studio are eligible for a 30-day trial period so you can feel confident about your investment.
The ProForm Carbon E7 moves smoothly and is almost silent, making it ideal for shared spaces, early morning or late night workouts. It’s also foldable and has wheels for easy storage if you’re short on space. Featuring 24 resistance levels and inclines from 0 to 20 degrees, this machine is suitable for beginners but can still offer a challenge as you build strength and endurance. It comes equipped with a 7-inch screen and is compatible with iFit, a service that lets you stream thousands of workouts so you’ll never get bored. Just note that the iFit subscription costs an additional $15 per month for individuals or $39 per month for the family plan.
The NordicTrack T Series is an Amazon bestseller featuring 10% OneTouch incline, belt speeds up to 10 mph and a foldable design for easy storage. Most notable, though, are its smart capabilities. It has a built-in 10-inch touch screen (there’s also the 5-inch screen model, if you want to save a couple hundred bucks) and is compatible with iFit, a service that lets you stream workouts. As mentioned above, an iFit subscription costs extra, but this package includes a free 30-day membership so you (and the fam) can try it out.
