Tempo FAQ
Questions about Tempo, answered
Specs, colors, warranty and how it compares. Need something else? Our team can help you choose.
Ask our team →What is Tempo performance training turf?
Tempo is a performance training turf from Sport Pro Surfacing with a 3/4 in. (19mm) face system and an integrated 5mm foam backing. It is built for sled pushes, speed and agility work and repeated multi-directional movement in weight rooms, training zones and batting cages.
Is Tempo good turf for sled pushes and speed training?
Yes. Tempo is designed for sled work and speed and agility training. It has a lighter face weight and lower yarn density with reduced standing pile resistance, so sleds and athletes move across it more easily than across a heavy, dense face. See performance turf installs →
Do I need a separate shock pad under Tempo?
No. Tempo has a 5mm foam backing built in, so you do not need to buy and install a separate shock pad. That keeps the system simpler and the installation faster to specify.
What is the difference between Tempo and TruField turf?
Both use a 19mm tape and nylon thatch face system with 5mm integrated foam, and both carry an 8 year warranty. Tempo is the training-focused turf and comes in seven colors. TruField is the field-realistic option, offered in Meadow Green for soccer overlays, practice fields and indoor or outdoor training zones. Compare TruField →
What colors does Tempo come in?
Tempo comes in seven colors: Black, Blue, Green, Clay, Red, White and Grey. Many facilities combine colors for lanes, zones and logos, and we can lay out a custom design for your space. View the colors →
Is turf or rubber better for a weight room or training facility?
It depends on what the room does. Turf suits sled pushes, speed, agility and movement training. Rubber is the usual choice under heavy free weights and racks. Many facilities use both, with turf lanes set into a rubber floor. Tell us how the room is used and we will recommend the right mix. Weight room flooring →
What warranty and testing come with Tempo?
Tempo carries an 8 year limited warranty. Its published performance results include tuft bind over 8 lbs (ASTM D1335), grab tear strength over 200 lbs (ASTM D5034), lead content under 50 ppm (ASTM F2765) and a flammability pass (ASTM D2859). The fabric is recyclable. Download the cut sheet and warranty →
How much does Tempo turf cost, and can we finance it?
Cost depends on square footage, your subfloor, the design and the installation. We quote each project individually so the number reflects your space. Financing options, including deferred payments and step-up leases, are available through Sport Pro Surfacing. See financing options →
