![]() I have weak wrists that make it difficult (and painful) for me to do strength exercises on the floor, so during my classes, if an exercise was shown that required wrist work, another video popped up as a “substitution” that I could do instead. And what’s really neat is depending on what you indicate as a limitation-for instance, if you’re post- or prenatal-the Mirror will offer substitutions in any given session to ensure you have a safe workout. Along with weight, height and age, you’ll also be asked about your fitness level, main goals (losing weight, building muscle, etc.) and any limitations. Once the Mirror is set up and you’ve created a profile, you’ll be prompted to answer a few questions. (Photo: Mirror) How do you use the Mirror? ![]() Watch your form, your heart rate, how many calories you’ve burned and more while working out. I didn’t try them, but the ankle weights are between $100 to $120 and the dumbbells are $65 to $255 depending on weight. These are smart weights, and they provide real-time rep tracking and form correction. For more money, the company also offers Mirror Weights in two styles: dumbbells and ankle weights. The algorithm will learn about you as you try more classes, and personalized workouts will pop up as suggestions. The app tracks your workouts, heart rate (if you connect a fitness watch), estimated calories and various other things in your personal performance dashboard. (You can also use a tablet or smart TV.) The class offering is expansive, including cardio, strength, yoga, boxing, stretching, pilates and more-at all expertise levels (from beginner to expert) and durations (from five minutes to an hour). ![]() Each Mirror is outfitted with a camera that you can turn on during workouts, allowing instructors (and other participants) to see you.Īfter I pawed at my Mirror screen like a rookie, the technician informed me navigating the Mirror requires a smartphone as the Mirror itself is not a touchscreen, and their app serves as your remote control. It feels like having a personal instructor in a group fitness setting, though actual one-on-one personal training is available for an additional purchase of $40 per session. The idea is that the Mirror transforms your space-even if you don’t have too much of it-into a workout studio. The accompanying technician can mount it for you, or you can lean it against a wall. But beyond your reflection, it also serves as an LED screen where you can stream live or on-demand workouts taught by a roster of trained fitness instructors. The Mirror is exactly that-a 53-by-21-inch mirror. But how does the original fare-and is it worth the $1,895 price tag? Read on for my findings. ![]() Since then, many other smart fitness mirrors have popped up. She sold the company to Lululemon in 2021. With a sleek design and easy-to-navigate interface, the Mirror was originally created in 2018 by former ballet dancer and current Mirror CEO Brynn Putnam. So when given the opportunity to test out Lululemon’s Mirror-their smart home gym-for a few months, I took it as a sign to get moving again. But my own fitness routine during this time consisted of going up and down the stairs to replenish my snacks. During the various stages of lockdown, home workout machines like the Peloton soared in popularity.
