Tempo the first home fitness system that uses advanced 3D sensors and AI to analyze users’ motion to provide a personal training experience—today announced $220 million in new funding.
Tempo notes the Series C round was led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2* with participation from new investor Steadfast Capital Ventures, and returning investors DCM, General Catalyst, Norwest Venture Partners, and Bling Capital. This brings Tempo’s funding to date to nearly $300 million.
Tempo will allocate the new funding toward the continued enhancement of its AI and 3D sensor technology to further expand its cutting-edge, real-time form feedback and personal guidance for users. The company also recently announced vast expansions across its hardware, software, and content offerings to best supplement the training experience and continue to deliver a full, at-home gym and personal trainer experience.
“Tempo was launched on the premise that the most advanced and versatile technology can unlock human potential by redefining the personal training experience. Today, our AI uses 3D sensors and is trained on over 5M workouts over 40K hours to give our users the most effective and personalized workouts possible,” said Moawia Eldeeb, Co-Founder and CEO of Tempo. “This new funding allows Tempo to further develop its AI to expand our class categories and content offerings.”
With its unique offering for at-home fitness, Tempo has gained significant momentum since launching in 2020. In the past year alone, Tempo saw its sales increase by 10 times and has seen 0% subscription cancellation.
