Through the companion app, you can select one of three preset durations (five, 10 or 15 minutes), the type of activity (HIIT or Strength) and the difficulty level. I’m more intrigued by the ability to customize workouts. My personal gripes about buying hardware with mandatory subscriptions aside, I can understand charging a recurring fee for services that push out new content all the time, and Fiture said it will be adding new videos every week and that live classes are in the works.
Though Peloton allows for up to 20 user profiles, Lululemon only supports up to six, and requires a “one-year minimum commitment.” Meanwhile, Fiture lets you have up to seven users on one membership and you can subscribe month-to-month. You’ll need to pay a $39 monthly fee to use the device and these classes, which is similar to what Lululemon and Peloton charge with their hardware. They span categories like strength, HIIT, yoga, boxing, pilates, barre, cardio sculpt and stretching for cooldowns. Between 200 and 400 workouts will be available at launch, with sessions ranging from five to 60 minutes in length. At just 60 pounds, Fiture's mirror was easy enough for me to lift and move over short distances (but that’s just me flexing).Īt a recent demo event, I tried out some workouts on the Fiture mirror. It’s also slightly wider and thicker than Lululemon’s offering, yet surprisingly weighs 10 pounds less. In fact, the Fiture and the Mirror both have a 43-inch display, though the former stands 12 inches taller at 68 inches. Like the NordicTrack Vault Complete and the Lululemon-owned Mirror, the Fiture has a screen embedded inside a reflective surface. A new smart mirror launching today promises to offer “real-time feedback through form correction as well as pacing, timing and movement feedback” through its “Motion Engine technology.” The company is called Fiture (future of fitness, get it?) and the $1,495 interactive mirror is just the beginning of its offerings. That’s why more recent devices like the Tempo Move or the Peloton Guide purport to watch while you exercise and teach you better form. Without proper form guidance, though, you risk using the wrong muscles for some actions or, worse, you could end up hurting yourself. Thankfully, there’s a slew of gadgets and connected equipment that can help you exercise at home. Maybe the pandemic made you rethink your gym membership, or maybe you just don’t like working out in the presence of other people.
