Best Workout Mirrors

Ever since the pandemic, home gym sales have been skyrocketing. In fact, for a short time, you probably had an easier time finding a Playstation 5 than a set of dumbbells or a squat rack. But as much as we champion the classic home gym, built around an exercise bike, treadmill or squat rack, we do have to acknowledge a major downside: they take up an awful lot of space. If you're lucky enough to own a garage (and a significant other who can be persuaded to let you transform it), you can swing the traditional barbell-and-plates setup, but if you're short on space, you need to get creative. Thankfully, that's exactly what some of the most innovative and cutting edge companies have done lately, and the result is transforming home – and particularly apartment – gyms: the workout mirror. RELATED: How to Build a Home Gym Using minimalist designs, sleek engineering, and built-in resistance, these workout mirrors connect to the Internet to offer you guided workouts that can target every muscle group in your body, or lead you through a lung-burning cardio session.  Don't believe us? Check out these five leading workout mirrors and prepare to have your mind blown.  Tonal 2 Don’t let the sticker shock cause you to overlook one of the most capable and beautifully designed workout mirrors on the market. Tonal offers a 24” touchscreen with 15W stereo speakers, making it easy to see and hear your workout instructions, even from a distance, while the adjustable arms offer hundreds of potential workouts, both upper and lower body, and a total of 250 pounds of tension. Tonal also offers a subscription-based workout regimen (required for your first year after purchasing the mirror) that unlocks a massive library of workouts and programs, as well as allowing multiple accounts to be registered to one mirror, so your partner and children can each have their own profiles. Through the app, you’ll get fitness assessments, intuitive resistance adjustments, and automatic tracking and reporting of your progress. $4,295 at Tonal.com FORME Studio If the big attractionof a home gym mirror is personalized training, you owe it to yourself to check out FORME's Studio. It boasts an extra-large, 43" crystal-clear 4K screen with built-in camera, microphone and speakers, allowing any of their huge variety of personal trainers to take you through the workout or health routine of your choice: strength training, recovery work, yoga, Pilates, barre, and mindfulness exercises. Prices vary depending on the optional extras you choose (the Barre training bundle, for example, the recovery bundle or the strength bundle) as well as the cost of installation, but the final product looks gorgeous and offers performance to match.

You can either stream a group workout and follow along or connect with an iFIT-certified trainer to receive live feedback and suggestions on your form and progress.  $299.99 at Costco.com AEKE Smart Home Gym K1 If your focus is more on strength training than mobility or HIIT, you owe it to yourself to check out the AEKE Smart Home Gym Kit.
