THE MEN IN YOUR MIRROR
The FORME Studio interactive mirror hosts PT sessions and streams live workouts. Get ready to tap in
If 18 months of home workouts have caused you to reflect on the inadequacies of your home gym set-up, the FORME Studio mirror is worth looking into. Having already made an impact in the US, the smart mirror industry (see also: Tonal, the Mirror and NordicTrack Vault) is now flexing its strength in Europe, with FORME set to launch in the UK early next year.
The reflective screen hosts a virtual gym, streaming hi-res workouts that include strength, cardio, yoga, boxing and recovery, as well as offerings from partner Barry’s, for the “Red Room” experience at home.
It’s a hefty investment – but you get far more than a glorified YouTube channel. The mirror’s 12mp cameras allow it to offer feedback on your posture and performance, and PTs tailor your programme to your goals. Plus, its ultra-HD screen gives you a more intimate experience than another patchy Zoom call. We reflect on its vital statistics.
