My life savior
My Mirror arrived in early March just before the stay at home orders in Los Angeles. I can honestly say I would not be able to survive this time without the Mirror. The familiar faces on the screen each day have motivated me, kept my mental and physical spirits high, and encouraged my family including my husband and six year old son to join in the fun. Thank you for revolutionizing how we work out, for having amazing instructors and for bringing some source of consistency and normalcy to my life in such a difficult time! As a mother of two young boys with a full time job, having the ability to work out on my schedule in my own home is exactly what I needed. Amazing product that everyone should buy.

Boutique fitness classes but inaccurate iOS Calorie tracking
I LOVE the mirror. It’s like being in a fitness class by yourself but with the motivation of others with you. The instructors are very great at virtual teaching and keep you engaged and really make you break a sweat.
With that said, I don’t like how you get credit for total cal on Apple Watch versus kCal. I personally don’t want to cheat and want to know how much kCal I’m burning towards my activity goal versus total calories. So, I have to disconnect my Apple Watch/ heart rate from the mirror and track it manually with starting a workout on the watch instead of mirror doing it for me. I know other devices (Norditrack, Peleton) separate kCal from total cal so were a bit behind the curve here. Hoping they will be able to do this soon so I can reload the app on my watch! Since I have found a workaround, I would say this doesn’t have an effect on how much I ultimately love the mirror!

Great! Please add calendar
We just got our mirror and while only have a couple workouts done, my wife and I are very pleased. Mirror is well made, app is easy to use. One thing that would great to have is workout calendar, right now you can add live classes to you calendar but having a native calendar where you can schedule classes out for the week would be useful. I like to spend a few minutes once a week scheduling out the following weeks workouts. That way I don't have to think about what I’m doing that day it’s already decided.
Small nit of ours, maybe we will get it in a software update later on. Overall very happy with purchase and recommend it

Incredible Device!
We love the mirror - my entire family uses it and the variety of workouts is such that you can do something each day. We love the instructors and how easy the app makes it to find a class that fits your needs for a particular workout.
My only complaint about the app is it’s interaction with Apple Activity. While workouts on The Mirror are recorded by Activity, they are not categorized, meaning they show up in your total exercise but not as a specific type of workout. For example, if I do 30 minutes of Yoga, Activity will note 30 minutes of exercise but not a Yoga workout. I know this can be done because other apps do it. I would love to be able to see the specific workout as I assess my activity at days end.

Love the Mirror, Not presently living the Watch Integration
Overall I love the mirror, and the quality of classes. There is a ton of variety and working through the phone app to find something and have it play through the mirror is seamless.
What I am annoyed by is it’s Apple Watch Integration when it comes to heart monitoring. I don’t know if it is related to an overloaded Bluetooth receiver if you are using headphones and the watch, or if the watch portion of the app still needs work. Essentially what will occur that once you start a work out the heart rate will start showing, but after several minutes it will drop off the Mirror. Sometimes it will come back intermittently, other times it won’t.
I have found in this situation that the only way to keep the watch app pulling the heart rate is to keep interacting with the watch to minimize standby. It works, but is not optimal to keep messing with the watch app while working out.
Only other option is to use the included chest strap which is uncomfortable and unfortunately doesn’t fit all. Don’t really want to buy a different monitor so I hope this issue can be addressed.
Otherwise, I love the mirror.

Overall, we’re satisfied.
Hands down, it’s the best fitness purchase I’ve made in awhile. There are a ton of classes to choose at all hours live or on demand. The instructors that I’ve worked with are really knowledgeable on putting together respectable workouts.
Now the minor annoyances. Sometimes my heart rate won’t show up on the mirror, but it’s showing on my phone. During the workouts the banner that pops up will cover the instructor sometimes during a key part of the workout such as when they are explaining proper technique- wish that could be moved to the top. I still appreciate the sentiment just wish it wasn’t impeding my view especially when I’m huffing through a difficult workout. Also, there are times when the music doesn’t play despite being set in the app. Basically, it would be great if we could customize the screen and less glitches.

Awesome
Love my Mirror, it makes me want to work out all day if I had the time. Love all the classes, instructors, and the whole idea of it. So cool that i can do a live class if I want to and even book a personal trainer (that’s is an extra cost though) No rushing to a gym or yoga studio , before or after work it’s all right there in my house, and there are 15 minute workouts to 60 minutes and even meditation (which is awesome ) The instructors are great , they explain and demonstrate what to do they motivate you, and there are tons of classes to choose from. Definitely worth the money in my opinion, if you are on the fence about it , try it you will love it!! Thank you Mirror!!!!

Changed the game for me!
I just moved to a very cold state... from Texas.. and needed something I could commit to without risking the weather with my two little kids around. This was the perfect answer. Previously I was only doing bootcamp/HIIT style classes, which I still like to take, but the Mirror has really opened up the fitness doors for me. I LOVE the dance and boxing classes. They go by so fast! I love that my kids see me work out. I especially love it takes up zero room and looks like a mirror when not in use. I could go on and on... so glad to own this! My only wish would be that I wish an immediate 10-15min stretch followed up after live classes (as opposed to having to wait another half hour).
