Mirror, a New York City-based startup that has created an interactive smart mirror, has announced today that they have released an in-home fitness platform for their devices. The device is hung on one’s wall and acts as a normal full-length mirror when not in use, but when activated, streams trainer guided workouts and music through its LCD display.
Compared to other smart mirrors on the market, Mirror towers over the competition with its exercise interface displaying both heart rate and exertion levels. These in-depth physiological readings are provided by a heart rate monitor the user wears while exercising with their Mirror device and can also be detected through the Apple Watch. These readings are displayed in the peripherals of the exercise training interface, allowing the user to view the statistics without being distracted. One can also view their calories burned in real-time during exercise, motivating them to work harder. These readings from a heart rate monitor fuel the competition mode, in which Mirror users track and record scores that they can later try to beat. Users can either listen to the music provided through Mirror or link their own Spotify music via Bluetooth.
Those exercising with Mirror also have the option to exercise with their friends in the online Mirror community. Over 50 exercise routines come with Mirror, including yoga, pilates, boxing, cardio, strength, and much more. Users can stream new live classes daily, all taught by pre-recorded certified instructors from top fitness studios. Mirror plans to release private one-on-one training sessions in the near future as well, providing users with even more focused workouts.
Mirror CEO Brynn Putnam said in a statement, “Mirror is the first to bring the collective benefits of quality fitness studios into the home with a beautiful piece of hardware that enhances any room. Studio classes are great for high-quality, hands-on training, but are often draining on time and budget. We’re creating a personalized experience with the best trainers and classes around the world, so anyone can enjoy the benefits of a workout, whenever and wherever they want.” Formerly a professional dancer, Putnam owns several fitness studios in New York and hopes to expand his impact on the fitness community with Mirror.
The device currently costs $1,495 up front or $164 a month for a year, both including a 12-month subscription to its services. This price is roughly $500 below that of the Peloton smart bike system that provides a similar at home workout experience, making Mirror a competitive new smart home-workout system.
