I Tried The $1,500 Fitness MIRROR For A Week.. Here’s What I Think
Video taken from the channel: Shelby Church
This smart mirror puts a personal trainer in your reflection
Video taken from the channel: CBS This Morning
The Mirror feels like you’re in a Zoom workout minus the fuzzy video, technical difficulties, and gallery view. During a live class, trainers can view your heart rate and your user profile, which includes information such as injuries and goals, and leverage that information for real-time personalization and encouragement during class.The Mirror is a full-length mirror with an embedded screen that can stream hundreds of on-demand and live workouts that rival those of high-end boutique studios. That may not.Mirror Home Gym review: This $1,500 Peloton rival is practical, but imperfect Mirror looks like a piece of home decor, but inside is a world of strenuous workout classes.
Lululemon’s purchase of Mirror proves home gyms are the future of fitness By John Velasco July 15, 2020 It’s already mid-July, and I haven’t stepped foot in my local gym since March.New fitness system Mirror hopes to bring that personal touch to workouts at home by streaming boutique-quality classes onto a neatly mounted display. After.
Though Gold’s Gym upped the offerings on its personal training app, big brands like Peloton and Mirror have entered the at-home workout business in full force with prestige products, influencer.Even so, the Mirror did a solid job of engaging me in whatever workout I was doing. I didn’t feel like I was at the gym, but the Mirror doesn’t feel like a typical home workout either.
We tested the latest smart home gym equipment to find the best, including the Peloton bike, Mirror, Tonal resistance gym, FightCamp boxing gym, Hydrow rower, and Bowflex Selecttech weights.Brands like Peloton, Tonal, Mirror and FightCamp sell interactive home gym tech. However, smart boxing, cycling and lifting classes aren’t cheap.A favorite of celebrities like Lea Michele, The Mirror offers the variety boutique studio-goers crave in a sleek 40-inch HD screen.
You can stream everything from boxing and barre to yoga and strength-training classes from certified trainers, either live or on-demand.The $1,495 Mirror is like a high-tech version of the mirror in Snow White. It subtly hangs on the wall when you don’t want to exercise, transforming into a smart display when you do.
Studio City’s (in southeastern SFV) neighborhood gem! Conveniently located in the heart of Studio City’s mercantile district, and right around the corner from the weekly farmer’s market, this community gym has the feel of a large boutique fitness studio but at a very affordable price.This product might look like a normal yoga mat, but it comes with removable weights, resistance bands, handles, and foot and hand straps that allow you to get in a boutique studio workout at home.It’s a large digital workout screen, and it feels like the home gym alternative built for the pandemic.
Similar to its competitors such as Mirror, it aims to make digital exercise classes feel like.At home, motivation is both much easier and much harder to come by.On the one hand, it is SO easy to stay put and do nothing. On the other, it’s also that much easier to get in a sweat with the click of a few buttons on your phone or app, etc.-without the commute, the change, the return trip (red-faced and in sweaty clothes) and the requisite shower before you can resume regular life.

Thank you for this video. It’s really helpful to see what if I had the Mirror.
One quick question is “Does it give you feedback and coaching movements as you do exercise?”
Ah… One more question! How do you do workout these days? Do you use the Mirror more? Is it effective now?
People will push their self at the gym more when people are watching and it’s less expensive ��
Hahahaaaaaa, another smart screen secretly spying on you. Pay $1500 for this? I think I’ll stick to old school
Jesus 45 minutes is a long workout to stand in front of a mirror
If your internet cuts out then it’s only use is as a mirror��$1500 for a mirror? No thanks, I’ll slap my iPad on a mirror and call it day!!
Yepppppppp I’m going to buy a Peleton which will cost me $58 a month with another subscription…
Did i hear that correctly $1500 for the mirror then $40 a month for the classes???!!!! I think thats crazy
Just buy a pair of nice running shoes for $150. Should last 6-9 months.
I just saved you $1350 plus monthly fees. Also, get a nice outfit to wear!!! LOL!!
I just got mine so I am excited to try it. Also where did you get your neon sign. I love it!!
It’s basically an flatscreen tv with a reflective piece of one way glass. The camera on it creeps me out though. Seems very hackable!!
If you can see the trainer from the side and mirror their motions this isn’t totally terrible. Pricey but being able to literally see if you are doing the moves correctly would help reduce injury for lifting in particular.
Buuuuuut, at 1500 dollars you could actually get a few months of professional training at even a fancy Gym. Where a real person can help you get a routine going with your body and your needs. So yeah, unfortunately I think this is more of a novelty than anything.
I wouldn’t be mad if I had one though.
I don’t mind the 1500 price but $40 a month membership is more than I am willing to pay.
Besides the reflection. What does this do. I can watch workout.videos o n my tv
The video she was watching I literally just did!�� The one one the T.V
Something just feels wrong about this technology, like it has a sinister purpose behind its façade of fitness:(
horrible idea, there is a reason why televisions manufactures try as hard as they can to make the screens nonreflective! This is basically just a workout DVD with a gimmick. $39 month membership WTF a real gym is cheaper!
I can do the exact same thing with my smart TV and Youtube or Amazon prime or Netflix video’s.
You don’t have to drive to the gym because your Tesla will do it for you!
Upstairs neighbor after getting the mirror –
https://youtu.be/npRc_ksREbU
New generation, lets see I need a $1500 mirror to work out LOL
. it’s just a 2 way mirror Infront of a screen. Anyone can make this
How much do you have to love yourself, to spend all your time alone with yourself?
Love it or hate it, this really is something out of a futuristic movie. It’s pretty impressive actually.
Wouldn’t it be easier to create an app for our smart tv’s????
Wow expensive. I will stay with the free YouTube videos. Good review.
Really love your review! I’m waiting for mine and have been hoping average consumer reviews matched the media ones
LMAO just place your tv in a dim area and turn on the lights behind you, play a workout video, and you get same effect! LOL
The calorie discrepancy is not specific to just the Mirror. My Orange Theory Fitness heart rate monitor reports double my apple watch. My lagree fitness advertises MORE than twice what I record on my apple watch. Yes, I would rely on your own fitness watch since there is no conflict of interest.
you cen do exercise at home.this is more valueable for finess
ヨガマット
https://www.goodjev.com/product/159/
Resibands™ 11pc Resistance Band Set
https://www.goodjev.com/product/160/
its basically youtube on a mirror. not smart enough they need 3d scanning and tips on your body posture while you excercise. maybe in 10 years. the 39 $ membership is a joke.
The mirror is too gimmicky. I’ll stick with the free workout videos on YouTube.
It’s the Pelaton bike for the same price but without the bike… seems reasonable. Hey I get it, community is so important, especially when it comes to motivation towards self improvement… and we live in a current world where it’s very easy to feel so very alone. People will pay for community and coddling,whatever works, right? Even though you can go running every day for free, the world is your free window and mirror. If we support one another, we can do all the things, and save our money for good living <3
Or… stand in front of a mirror, with your computer playing workout videos behind you.
Like everyone lives in a $500k home and can afford $50 tops and bottoms to work out in. This commercial is way out of touch with the common people.
Usage for a week isnt a good time length for a review for a product such as this.
Remember when the telescreen yelled at Winston when he wasn’t doing his calisthenics?
I have this mirror still in its box with a prepaid 6 month membership that I’m selling for $1250
Feel bad for future generations, pretty soon everything will be created to keep you locked in your house.
We such a vain society that while we focusing on our reflection, the government can be getting a front seat eye view right into our homes
And since Social Media “Influencers” are pushing it, it must be legit.
The reporter asks “Is it vanity?” Only children ask that question. Working out is a legitimate activity.
I just saw the commercial for the first time, this is the coolest mirror ever. I want one!
You can buy this expensive product or make your own for virtually nothing: Simply set up a large mirror facing your computer or TV and work out in the space between the two. Stream or play your favorite workout video. In addition to costing almost nothing, your workout will be private and you can freeze the frame at any time to adjust your position or get a cold drink. Use your own inexpensive heart monitor if you wish.
I liked the video. But the young ladie at the end should know. You should never use the lords name in vain.
…well now with the pandemic and not been able to go to gyms, I wonder if this would be a good replacement for gyms….
Thank you for this review. I’ve been eyeing this workout mirror
Forget the mirror, I want a link to the videos you were working out to in front of your TV!
Love The Mirror…i have had it almost 6 months…down 47 lbs…
Is that camera recording you? and are the training videos live or are they prerecorded
Thank you for an honest review…really considering purchasing it especially considering corona virus and our new normal….no mask needed at home.
I’m really glad you did this review. I was wondering if I wanted one or not and it really helped to see it in “action”. Now that gyms don’t seem to be opening any time soon I was hoping that you would consider trying more home fitness machine and tech options!!!
Lol 2 years later and its $1395.00 still outrageously expensive. I’ll just pay my $40 for my health club membership. This might work for nyc people but not me. Its neat though. I see this FAILING but the teck can be used for google.or amazon in houses and bathrooms for weather and tv as you wake up!!
I love this! Thank you for this in depth review!!! My BF and I were concerned we wouldn’t have enough space in our home for the Mirror, but it looks like you don’t need a bunch of room, which is awesome!!
Thank you again for this video! Btw, I love your decor, you’re super cute! ��❤️
Great condition and awesome workout! This is what I drink after �� check out this https://youtu.be/z6GAhr3hc4k what do you think??? Let’s get healthy together. Hit that subscribe button ��
A tempo mirror…. I would think they could watch me too!!!
Regardless of how you feel about, you can’t deny that it’s really something out of science fiction even just 20 years ago.
Really good review! That was so much information and answered my questions
The calorie estimation is most likely an issue with your profile settings. I have not used this product, but when I get a new running watch, the default settings are usually for someone who weighs more than me and is a different height. Once I correct this, the calories burned are a little more believable. You or whoever is using the mirror may want to change their profile settings.
Why is it with every single workout thing on TV it’s supposed to be about people losing weight and staying in shape why is it that they always show 120 pounds soaking wet women or 155 soaking wet men.
For me, I like it, but I would love for someone to develop a holographic workout buddy that you can take anywhere. Perhaps the vr headsets will get into this game and bypass the mirror that is stationary. Perhaps a plug in such as a small vr box to turn any screen or mirror into this type of vr training device. Face it: we live in a mobile era where information has to be made quickly and easily anywhere and at anytime.
With the corona lock down is the mirror the best solution!!!!!!
I’ve got a question? What happens if the company goes belly up? Will you be left with a $1500 dollar mirror? It’s not like buying a treadmill and the company goes belly up. You can still use the treadmill.
So it’s like you can watch YouTube videos.. and yourself. For a couple grand.
So It’s useless unless you pay 40 a month also you let a camera in you home that can be hacked…. I don’t know…
Interesting gadget. However, I agree that $40 is way excessive, not counting that now Lululemon has direct advertising into your home.
So you could just buy the mirror then stream the free YouTube videos instead of their overpriced clases?
Samsung or Google should buy Mirror and integrate it with their Fitness services/products
Yay, Hay!!!!
That plant, though! I hope you all let it know you are grateful for it’s contribution as well. It is so beautiful!
Namaste
I feel ill get distracted by seeing both me and the virtual trainer at the same time
u gotta pay $1.5k and monthly subs??? fooook that…. my home gym which allows me to do all the exercises i want costed $1k total
Have you tried peloton? It’s better than the mirror with a lot more options.
Nope. I’ll stick to YouTube workouts. 1500 is not worth it, just for you to see a trainer on the mirror. It needs to have a lot more features.
They took my idea… if only I had the funds to come out with it first
i’ll talk to my lawyer about the calories(i need money from lawsuit)
AHHHH try this next!!! I really want it ��
https://instagram.com/tempo?igshid=vte37kju3a47
The monthly price is high at 39$ buckaroos a month is extremely expensive. 10$ bucks at the most and that’s stretching it.
Never before has anyone been able to workout AND… look at themselves in the mirror. WHILE… having a workout video going that you could be watching the reflection of IN… the mirror.
You bought the mirror for 1500 and 40 dollars a month hmmm…..doesnt seem like a good investment maybe if they dropped the price of the work outside to 20 a month. It would save tons in travel and gym cost mainly during the Kung fu flu.
i would consider this as a future purchase if it was more honest with calories burned
Id have to do this in my room too! glad to see it fits and can still do the exercises! Im seriously considering….I’d consider mirror ore accurate then watch as watch sensor is off with counting/tracking movements. You could be working your ASS off and it wont count bc it only reads your wrist movementsId also not pay attn to CaoloriesPay attention to DRESS SIZE….weight check-ins and calorie counting is a nightmare and discouraging when we really care about dress size all along anyways. I once lost 5 lbs (Only 5 lbs?? Bummer) BUT was down a dress size.
Get your Monolith folks. That’s right step right up. A gateway into Lord only knows what, bit that’s not important just BUY it. Because they care about your health and fitness. Wake UP
Hey Shelby, thanks for the insightful video. Of your friends who work out, how many of them do you think would also prefer going back to the gym vs. buy a mirror? Who do you think would benefit most from the mirror? Thanks, Jesse
Always interested till I hear about a monthly fee. Why can’t I just have the mirror without the classes?
hope you kept the mirror since this covid-19 shit shut everything down
Thank you for returning that.
It’s not that it was too expensive… It’s just that it felt more like an idea in search of a problem. And a VERY expensive one at that!
Probably Apple watch is not accurate, they calculate the calories based on the # of heartbeats. (1) Your Apple Watch cannot know the heartbeat accurately sometimes. Also, even if accurate # of heartbeats, the calories on Apple Watch would not be accurate. For example, if you do weight training, your heartbeat is not so fast but you are burning calories more. Apple Watch cannot know what kind of workouts you are doing. It can only give you a general ballpark based on your current heartbeat based on your normal heartbeat. At least, that is my theory based on some 5 minutes of googling.
Moderation is perhaps the governing concept for a Christian view of bodybuilding/weightlifting. First Timothy 4:8 teaches, “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come” (emphasis added). Physical fitness is important, and as this verse states, it does have some value. We are physical and spiritual beings, and the condition of the physical body undeniably can impact the spirituality of a person. Surely part of “glorifying God in your body” (1 Corinthians 6:20) is keeping it in reasonably good physical condition. Bodybuilding can definitely be a part of a Christian’s physical fitness program.
At the same time, as with many things in this life, bodybuilding, if taken to the extreme, can become an idol. Eventually, a point is reached where there is no true value in adding more muscle. Bodybuilding/weightlifting can become an addiction and/or obsession. While this is much more often an issue with men, it can be an issue for women as well. Striving for bigger and stronger muscles, taken to the extreme, is nothing but vanity (1 Samuel 16:7; Ecclesiastes 1:2; 1 Peter 3:4). Once we allow our physical appearance to become more important than our relationship with God, it has become an idol (1 John 5:21).
“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). The key question is does bodybuilding/weightlifting glorify God? If it is done to increase fitness, strength, and tone, and thereby health, yes, it can be done for God’s glory. If it is done out of vanity and pride, or from an unhealthy obsession with getting bigger and stronger, no, it does not glorify God. How should a Christian view bodybuilding? “‘Everything is permissible for me’—but not everything is beneficial. “‘Everything is permissible for me’—but I will not be mastered by anything…. ‘Everything is permissible’—but not everything is constructive” (1 Corinthians 6:12; 10:23).

home fitness is a great way to build confidence and get wind of things then you can solidify fitness as a lifestyle showing up to group classes.
very cool idea. probably will do very well with commercial contracts. Monthly fee probably flies in NY and California. Nowhere else though. Should come with a standard base of non-live workouts at no cost and permanently available as a memory stick/card plug in to the screen. Save the monthly fee for live instructors. At that point, you can profit away for a $120 40 inch LCD monitor plus $100 for the custom inards at the $1495 price. Otherwise, IPad plus larger mirror wins here.
What a ripoff..the covid19 gym mirror.. how about this, buy a 500 4k tv with wifi, hook up a $20 camera and load any work out video off you tube to your heart’s content..
The person you look at in the mirror is your biggest enemy or biggest Love of your Life.
Great idea but the average person isn’t going to spend that much. It would be better marketing if the price wasnt so high in these things and youd probably get more people in on it cause the cost wouldn’t be so high. It is a great idea for those who cant afford the time to go to a gym and get a personal trainer.
I like the idea, but with the numbers mentioned, this is probably better as a gym device. If/when a live coach isnt available, this is still open for some people, or for those more shy to ask questions.
Makical..?
Ppl go Krazy for anything just like a kid with a new toy!
What happened to yesturdays ways….less expensive,..
$$$$$$_$$_$$$$$$

Honored to be your first video, Hyunju and for the great feedback in this review! Looking forward to training with you some more and seeing you hit those goals!

Hello this is Lawrence johnson, I had an amazing random idea pop in my head this morning…if you would like to hear it text or call me 2705576620 it won’t take me than any more of 3 mins for me to bounce off of you. I want to do better for myself and family…just hear me out.
Yes! She definitely needs a bigger bedroom. And this is all pre-pandemic. It also sounds like she has no kids. No babysitter to pay for.
all these things that get into your home and lock you in from the world, work from home, have friend meet ups online at home, shop from home. No give me a gym with classes serious weights both the cabled kind and free, people to talk to instructors to ensure I am keeping good form.
Being part of a social real life place to thrive in and then go home to enjoy returning to my lovely home. The cost is eyewatering and you will be giving this company a whole load of stats about your and your lifestyle to sell. This notion of not having enough time too do anything for yourself outside of your home and work, selling time is now a commodity. Nah real world for me please.
I have the mirror (got it at Christmas time for less than 1000.00) got it installed in February. I LOVE it. I have increased my workout time by a LOT. I have almost no free time (so going to the gym was never an option available to me) and I was doing youtube videos before this. It’s motivating to see how many calories I’ve burned, it tells me when to push harder (if I’m wearing the heart rate monitor) and I can find a workout in seconds (compared to the time I used to spend on youtube searching though I did love the tabata workouts). Music also plays and it tracks your progress for the week. Because it is interactive (even when the class is not live) and because there are so so so many choices of workouts (from type (strength/kickboxing/yoga etc), to level (beginner to expert) and time 5 min to 45 min) I’ve found it to be invaluable. I love that I can come home after a long day and want to get just 15 min in of xyz work out and I can just quickly select type of workout, length and level and boom I have a workout). I can also pick the instructors. Totally worth the investment.
I work out to free YouTube videos and I have a mirror next to my tv. Lol
It honestly seems like an unnecessary expense.
For one you can buy a full length mirror for less than $100 and place your phone in front of it or really anything you can play FREE workout videos on… and having the tracker watch you don’t really need the VERY scammy, inaccurate calorie counter. Overall it just doesn’t seem worth the expense. I can see where actual workout equipment can eventually pay itself off because you’re able to do something from home that you can’t really do from home any easier, cheaper or more convenient. Of course going on a bike ride is cheaper( usually) but that defeats the purpose of not having to leave the house.
Glad you returned it. Because even now when gym access is either unavailable or highly restricted it still doesn’t seem worth the swap.
Love the review! honest and lots of good explanations. I also agree with your ‘theory’. Just like retailers are making smaller sizes bigger, fitness professions really bump up the amount of calories burned all to make us feel better about ourselves.
Lululemon buys Mirror for $500 million https://news.crunchbase.com/news/lululemon-to-buy-mirror-for-500m/
I think the mirror should have a infrared camera that tracks your body, and it can tell if your doing it right or wrong, or can make the trainer the same size as your reflection so u can match it perfectly….this is just a work out DVD on a fancy TV I dont get it
You didn’t need to spend $1500. You can do it without the technology. Crazy but looooong before this crap people were in way better shape without the gadgets. Keep your money honey.
The fact that its subscription is 200 a month. Id rather just build a six pack myself. You can get an apple watch and it has a heart rate monitor so ypur ser if you have an iphone of course.
I understand why some people think this is a waste of money and it probably is for everyone middle-class and below. But, as we know, rich people and fitness fanatics love nothing more than attention and given money is a non-issue for them this would be a no brainer for that market, especially with a pandemic making people scared about going to gyms and group fitness classes. I can see why lululemon bought it.
Why does it cost so much more than a screen if you still have to buy your own equipment? It can’t hear you, and can’t tell you how you do. There’s no feedback.
What if I walk buy it naked by mistake will the instructor laugh at me I’m telling ya
$1500 still 2 years later after its release. No way I would pay $39.95 a month. I like the tech though I want a Google mirror assistant in my bathroom like in scifi movies from the 90s
Seems like I’ve seen something like this before oh wait it’s called a TV. I bet there’s a whole lot of idiots out there who buy this.
Did you need to install to the wall with the bracket / mount?
This mirror looks like a giant phone with a selfie camera in the middle ��

This is terrifying it not only looks like something right out of black mirror but literally is a BLACK MIRROR
If you break the “Mirror”, will you get 7 years of bad luck?? Just wondering??
If you have no Internet than the marror is useless also it’s smarter to just do an app on your smart TV
The mirror commercial doesn’t show one person struggling with obesity..
For that price to get in, you’d think they could get away with $20 a month for the subscription…It’s nice…I’d like one, but think I’ll hold off for Mirror 2.
So many cynical comments. We get it, you think you’re clever. If someone wants to, and can afford to, pay $1500 to exercise, then that’s better than not exercising. The idea of saving the gym commute time, and not having to find, think about, or curate work out videos…instead all provided in a single package is attractive. If you cant afford the price, or want to do all that prep yourself, go for it. You can buy a burner flip phone for lots less than an iPhone…..you can look up all that smart phone info on your laptop and still make calls with a burner phone. But i’d bet most the cynics here use a smart phone that cost them $700+ Convenience in one package, via technology, is what you’re paying for.
Hi I’m currently doing research on Smart Mirror technology. Hope someone can help answer these questions!
I’ve searched high and low but still don’t have the answers.
1) Is the feedback from the Tempo home gym given by an actual person or an AI bot?
2) Does Tempo offer real life (living human being) PT classes, or is it just an AI system?
So, a money grab regardless. I love the concept, but, I work out alone and this just screams interaction. Also, requires monthly subscription. Another workout tool that you have to hunt for the offline options to use it by yourself.
You can’t compare this to a Gym membership and say it’s saving money. Gyms come with weights, machines, treadmills, etc which this doesn’t come with at all.
Mirror blocked both me and my wife on Facebook and twitter for posting our experience with their shitty customer service and bots. The website states the your should bet you $1500+ product in roughly 10 (business) days. 3 days to contact you on and 7 for delivery. After a week, my wife tried contacting them because we had heard nothing from them. Their garbage bots kept responding with automated message about holiday demand and never could give us a delivery date. Finally they are currently estimating over 2 months for delivery and the website still days 10 days.
We posted on their social accounts, I guess they don’t like when people highlight the real experience.
I am temped to wait for delivery just to force them to come back to pick it up during the 30 day trial on principle alone…. shittiest customer service I have ever experienced. Not what you would expect from a faux luxury product targeting high income individuals.
We also have the a peloton… awesome service all around and awesome classes. Take your money and go with the peloton 100%.
I had the exact same issues with XPO, but instead they somehow marked my Tempo as cancelled after I called them to try to find out when mine would be delivered. I was supposed to get mine last month, but I will finally get it this Friday. Tempo was great about working with XPO to get it straightened out (it was an XPO issue, not a Tempo one) but it was still frustrating. Interesting to hear you also had issues with XPO.
I found a better and cheaper way to exercise using my old xbox and kinect. I purchased Nike kinect fitness game and I loved it. It follows and correct my exercises using kinect camera. It also designed an exercise plan according to my resistance. It keep track of my program. The mirror looked more like watching videos thought an expensive mirror. Is just my opinion I don’t know if the mirror uses a camera so it can track your movements like xbox kinect..
Everyone lives in very expensive homes 1,000,000 and more and can afford to work out with this Mirror. This Mirror is way out of touch for us common people, like me. Membership is a joke and not customized to the Individual needs. 2020 no thank you!
A word of caution: I would be careful letting a camera come into your home and be Hacked. Something to give thought too.
anyone know the use of the camera atop mirror? does it only use for selfie only?
Honestly, I agree with Shelby because it seems like the apple watch (in her case) isn’t focused on making money off of heart rate and calories burned, while mirror, if they do that it makes you think it is more worth it for the cost and monthly fee.
$1500 gimmick that they will hope you lose interest in about a month after the novelty dies down but I guess it depends of the person. There is a reason why group fitness is popular because not only is there a social aspect but accountability.
To actually interested in this product because it looks cool / future style. Just search making a magic mirror. You can easily make your own type thing to this for cheap, if you want to get creative.
I look at a mirror to make sure that my form is correct. It has nothing to do with vanity. If you don’t do exercise correctly, you could damage something or not get the benefit you are trying to achieve.
Get your self some 15 maybe 20% silver solar mirror film, a piece of glass and stick a tv behind it.. job done and a heck load of money saved
I hope this doesnt come out as an insult but I like your old lady face lol i think its cute
For 1500.00 plus 40.00 extra a month, the answer to “is it worth it” better be “yes and yes”.
This thing is trash trust me dont get it youll regret it. Not worth the price.
So it’s not online even though it connects to wifi? Like you couldn’t watch YouTube videos on it? I’m watching reviews and can’t tell
Thanks for your review! I’ve been waiting to see some user reviews. I ordered mine last week so I still have a bit of a wait for delivery.
This looks really futuristic. I actually saw one of these in a 90s sci fi movie. Might have been total recal.or something. I do think it’s a bit creepy theres a webcam on the device. If its hacked people could watch you while you work out. I’d cover the webcam
Where can I get the rolling corner echelon stand shown at time 1:42?
Great review! I just purchased this mirror and can’t wait to use it ��. Sidenote: your foundation is too red for you babes. It’s veeeery noticeable. You may want to go with a cooler brown like Macao from NARS. ��
Just get a monitor and a long mirror play some workout videos on YouTube, and save about $1200. It does look cool no doubt.
Works in front of a regular mirror too. Saves 1500 dollars too.
I want a mirror with google assistant for my bathroom telling me the weather and playing live news video. There are so many uses for this other than a workout mirror
Great review I am considering the Tempo studio vs Tonal (expensive) vs Mirror. Your review really helps. Do you feel like you get your heart rate up a bit during the Tempo workouts?
Nice thing about the mirror is, it won’t turn into a clothing rack after two weeks.
Great video and thanks for putting in the effort to produce it! I’m trying to decide between Tempo and Tonal.
Did you get it for free for recommending in on YT? Or did you really pay $1500 out of pocket? It seems like you’re not only paying a lot for essentially a TV and a mirror, but also for classes that are for free on youtube. I do yoga on YT and there are a billion people that do yoga classes for free.
I can see just buying a long mirror for like $50 and just watching youtube videos on a wall-mounted TV. Also, you seem to be forced in front of this mirror which looks like 2-3′ wide. So that kind of limits your mobility.
Seems like a huge gimmick, but that’s what exercise equipment is. They show a commercial and it looks so cool. You see the person on a stationary bike and imagine that’s you. Then it sits in a room with clothes drapped over it. Never used.
I have a much cheaper solution if you want to exercise. By a $20 jump rope. Get outside and have some fun.
That is so cool but why can’t people just do that on their television connected to an app on your iPhone
The mirror commercial doesn’t show one person struggling with obesity..
..or you can put your iPad on the wall next to a standard mirror. Then you have access to the whole App Store. All else fails Planet Fitness starts at $10 a month.
it’s dangerous to work out in such a crowded place. earn some money and rent a bigger place for your next video.
The mirror is for dweebs who don’t know the first thing about working out.
Great review! You should come over and review my Mirror once I have it set up. Would love to see a follow-up review to see if you are still liking the Tempo!
