The convenience of a home workout is hard to beat, especially when you don’t have time for a full-blown gym session or exercise class. The best fitness mirrors deliver on this convenience (and then some) by creating an immersive workout experience with engaging workouts, expert guidance, and biometric tracking. This accessibility and potential for personalization make fitness mirrors an attractive home gym feature, says Gabriella Harte, NASM-CPT, a certified personal trainer at 24 Hour Fitness.
To find the best fitness mirrors available today, we spoke with three experts—a sports biomechanist, a Pilates instructor, and a personal trainer—to learn more about important features to look for. We tested seven of today’s leading fitness mirrors from home, noting their setup process, range of available workouts, and real-time feedback. Five stood out for their ease of use, workout quality, and intuitive design.
Our Top Picks
One-on-one personal training sessions
Intuitive navigation
Wide variety of engaging workouts
Doesn’t come with strength training equipment
Pricier than other options
Key Specs
Height: 68 inches | Width: 26.3 inches | Subscription: $49 per month, required | Warranty: 1 year | Additional Accessories Included: Heart rate monitor, yoga mat, camera covers, cleaning towel | Our Overall Rating: 4.8/5
Who It’s For
Best for at-home personal training and customized workouts, as well as meditation.
Why We Love It
Forme Studio secured our top spot for its highly customized personal training program and sleek, intuitive design. After answering a detailed questionnaire, Forme matched us with a personal trainer according to our fitness goals and health history. In each 15 to 20-minute session, we dove into factors affecting our wellness—including stress, sleep, and more—that our trainer used to create customized workouts. We truly felt stronger after a few weeks of completing our personalized strength training sequences, and our trainer helped us stay motivated from home.
Beyond its stand-out personal training program, Forme impressed us with an easy setup process—even in our tester’s small apartment. White glove delivery made installation a breeze, and we love that it functions like a normal, streamlined mirror when it’s not in use. Its extensive workout library was another perk—we appreciated the wide variety of options (meditation, barre, HIIT, cardio, endurance, Pilates, recovery, yoga, strength, and more), and we could even filter the offerings by our favorite instructor. The mirror has an intuitive design, from selecting a workout to adjusting the brightness, and we felt excited to try new workouts from the platform’s qualified, engaging instructors.
Potential Flaws
- This mirror is one of the priciest options we tested. However, with one-on-one access to personal trainers and five users included in a single membership, we thought the price was fair.
- Since it doesn’t come with strength training equipment, this mirror isn’t an all-inclusive option for strength workouts. Luckily, we had no trouble using our own equipment.
Most Valuable Insight
“The mirror is so intuitive to use, and the one-on-one live training is by far the most impressive feature of Forme Studio. They get you connected with the best personal trainer fit based on your personal preferences and goals—they even asked me what kind of training style I like and what I look for in a PT.”—Michelle P., CYT, editor and Verywell Fit product tester
Real-time feedback on strength exercises
Space-efficient design
Streams your own music
Form feedback isn’t available for all workouts
The app doesn’t stream to the mirror
Key Specs
Height: 72 inches | Width: 26 inches | Subscription: $59 per month, required | Warranty: 1 year | Additional Accessories Included: Mat, 2 7.5-pound dumbbells, 4 weight collars, 75 pounds of weights | Our Overall Rating: 4.7/5
Who It’s For
Best for people looking to enhance their strength training, weight training, and HIIT sessions from home.
Why We Love It
Tempo Studio blends high-tech tracking features and real-time guidance to enhance your strength training sessions—all from your living room. Using 3D mapping data from the included smart weights and mats, it gives form feedback on basic strength-training moves, including squats, curls, presses, pushups, dumbbells, and barbell exercises. During one HIIT workout, a message popped up telling us to switch to lighter weights for better form, and this feedback improved our workout experience immensely. We were pleasantly surprised to find that this home gym system from Tempo doesn’t take up too much space, and with a cabinet to stow away accessories, it looks like a modern coat closet.
Along with seamless music streaming, Tempo Studio has an audio adjustment feature that allows you to turn up the volume on your coach, making the music quieter, or vice versa. It also sends daily, customized recommendations based on your fitness goals and previous workouts, helping to advance your progress over time. We like that you can preview the exercises before diving into the workout and find a better option if it doesn’t appeal to you.
Potential Flaws
- It currently only offers form feedback on strength training, not other workouts like yoga and barre. We hope that this will eventually change, as Tempo is undergoing testing to release feedback for more activities.
- Tempo’s included app doesn’t stream workouts to the mirror—it’s intended for playing workouts away from home. We recommend browsing the workout library directly on the mirror display.
Most Valuable Insight
“This is great for HIIT cardio and strength training. That seems to be where most of the offerings are clustered. It's also where Tempo provides the most form feedback to make sure you’re doing it right.”—Donna F., associate director and Verywell Fit product tester

Highly immersive user experience
Automatic weight adjustments
Unique workout and recovery programs
Important accessories aren’t included
Bulky design
Key Specs
Height: 50.9 inches | Width: 21.5 inches | Subscription: $59.99 per month, 12-month commitment required | Warranty: 2 years | Additional Accessories Included: None | Our Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Who It’s For
Best for people looking to invest in an immersive home fitness experience, especially for strength and cross-training.
Why We Love It
Tonal caught our eye for its range of innovative features, most notably its automatic resistance adjustments. This hallmark feature evaluates your form and power (how much force you exert with each rep) to determine the best weight setting for your needs. We liked that this continually challenged us, but you can also put any workout in recovery mode to automatically set the system at a lower weight level.
We’re impressed by Tonal’s various live classes and over 20 workout types, including unique categories like pre- and post-natal, Theragun, family fitness, and golf cross-training. With engaging professional trainers and innovative camera angles, this fitness mirror created a remarkably immersive experience that kept us wholly engaged. We also loved the super-intuitive navigation, with the ability to filter workouts by a wide range of metrics, including workout type, difficulty level, instructor, length, bodyweight only, and more.
Aside from these key features, Tonal goes a step beyond white glove delivery—their support team was extremely communicative about installation requirements, and upon arrival, we didn’t have to lift a finger.
Potential Flaws
- Tonal’s Smart Accessories are sold separately for a fairly steep price, but we found them essential to justify the system’s overall cost and maximize its benefits.
- This system protrudes from the wall and looks like exercise equipment. It’s ideal for home gyms and basements rather than living rooms.
Most Valuable Insight
“I thought the trainers were really engaging and professional. I appreciated that the camera angles felt fresh, innovative, and immersive—Tonal's camera work is dynamic and on the move. It kept me interested, and the closer looks at instructor form were helpful, too.”—Kristen G., Verywell Fit product tester

Wide variety of engaging workouts and meditation
Sleek, attractive design
More affordable than other options
Bulky design
Classes aren’t unique to the device
Key Specs
Height: 72.7 inches | Width: 24.3 inches | Subscription: $39 per month, not required | Warranty: 2 years for the frame, 1 year for the parts | Additional Accessories Included: 10-pound bar, 2 5-pound dumbbells, 4 2.5-pound weight plates | Our Overall Rating: 4.4/5
Who It’s For
Best for beginner exercises who want to improve their form and access high-quality fitness instruction from the comfort of home.
Why We Love It
Proform Vue stands out for its affordability compared to other exercise mirrors and its beginner-friendly programming. With classes dedicated exclusively to form, it’s a great way for beginners to expand their knowledge and improve from home without attending an in-person class or investing in a personal trainer. We also appreciated the discreet weight hooks on the back of this swivel-able mirror, keeping the entire system (including the accessories) looking sleek and organized.
This mirror syncs with an iFit membership for classes and instruction. We were blown away by the sheer variety of classes, instructors, and styles. From at-home strength workouts to meditations and more, there are plenty of options for exercisers of all levels, and each instructor has their own style. We liked that we could choose a high-energy instructor for motivation or a calmer one for slower, more restorative sessions, and they helped us to correct form issues we weren’t even aware of.
Potential Flaws
- This mirror is relatively bulky, and with weight storage on the back, it can’t sit close to the wall. So, while not ideal for small spaces, it’s attractive and functions like a normal mirror when not in use.
- It uses classes from iFit, an online fitness membership which isn’t unique to the device. This isn’t necessarily a drawback, as we love iFit’s programming, but it may make you think twice about the investment.
Most Valuable Insight
“The mirror was really helpful with the yoga and strength training classes they offered. The instructors were great, and the weight options were perfect - you could add or take away depending on what you're comfortable with.”—Elena G., Verywell Fit product tester
Space-efficient design
Personalized workout recommendations
Convenient storage for accessories
Can’t stream music
System occasionally freezes
Key Specs
Height: 61.5 inches | Width: 22.5 inches | Subscription: $39 per month, not required | Warranty: 10 years for the frame, 2 years for the parts | Additional Accessories Included: 6 sets of dumbells, 2 kettlebells, 3 resistance bands, 3 loop bands, 2 yoga blocks, mat, cleaning towel | Our Overall Rating: 4.6/5
Who It’s For
Best for people seeking a well-rounded home workout experience without needing to purchase additional equipment.
Why We Love It
NordicTrack’s Vault Complete is a versatile fitness mirror that doesn’t require additional purchases, as it comes with equipment for a variety of workouts. We liked that we could start exercising right away—no need to buy additional weights or bands. It also opens up to reveal storage for all the included accessories, giving it a sleek, organized look. We found it to be fairly space-efficient, even for smaller living spaces.
As we used this mirror, it began suggesting the type of workouts we wanted based on an initial assessment. We didn’t have to waste time searching for workouts either—they were prominently displayed on the home page. Like the Proform Vue, it offers a large library of workouts from iFit, with engaging trainers to help improve your form. We found the classes to be motivating and productive—after a few weeks, we could handle heavier weights, more reps, and less recovery time between workouts.
Potential Flaws
- This mirror doesn’t allow you to stream your own music. You can listen to the provided music or turn off the music function during workouts, then start your playlist from a separate device.
- The system froze occasionally during our testing period, and we had to unplug it to fix the issue. Thankfully, this only happened a few times and didn’t significantly detract from our experience.
Most Valuable Insight
“I felt more motivated to exercise with the mirror—it was fun and something I don’t usually do. Seeing the trainer was definitely helpful and helped me work on my form. It gave me something to work toward.”—Boris K., Verywell Fit product tester

Fitness Mirrors We Also Tested
While we tested seven fitness mirrors, only five earned high enough marks to be listed as our top picks. This mirror offered some noteworthy features but still fell short in a few key categories:
- Echelon’s Reflect Touch Smart Fitness Mirror has an intuitive design with a large library of workouts, including low-impact and family-friendly options, making it a good choice for beginners. However, the workouts weren't difficult enough to keep us engaged over time, and certain classes’ audio didn’t match the instructors’ lip movements.
What to Look for When Shopping for Fitness Mirrors
- Size: While fitness mirrors are made to look seamless on your wall, they differ slightly in size. Before purchasing one, make sure you have plenty of space for it, says Kayla Schmitt, lead Pilates instructor at Bodyrok—that means break out the measuring tape! Also, consider the experience you’re going for: Smaller mirrors are obviously more space-efficient, but larger mirrors offer a more immersive feel (sometimes with added storage with equipment).
- Installation: Workout mirrors can be either wall-mounted or freestanding. For heavy wall-mounted mirrors, some brands offer white glove delivery and installation—a safe, convenient option. Freestanding mirrors won’t put holes in your wall and are generally easier to install, although they take up more square footage in your home.
- Price: Exercise mirrors range in price from $1,000 to $4,000. While they’re all a significant investment, some are pricier than others. The best fitness mirror for you will fit within your budget without sacrificing your favorite workout types and features.
- Accessories: If you plan on using your mirror for weight training, look for a system with a weight set and other accessories. Some mirrors even come with smart equipment that automatically adjusts to different workouts and records real-time data. Alternatively, if you want to be gentler on your budget, consider purchasing cost-effective equipment separately.
- Smart Features: Smart features like biometric data, real-time feedback, performance statistics, and community engagement are key benefits of using a fitness mirror. Peter Foley, a sports biomechanist, says these features can help you stay motivated by fostering healthy competition, especially when exercising alone at home. Other features, like being able to stream your own music and add multiple users to the mirror, can also improve your overall experience.
- Subscription: Fitness mirrors aren’t generally a one-time purchase—they require an ongoing membership for continual access to classes and instructors. While shopping, consider each mirror’s membership cost, if it’s required, and if they offer a free trial period. Some mirrors use an existing virtual fitness program that you can purchase alone, without the mirror system, as a more affordable alternative.
How We Tested the Fitness Mirrors
To find the best fitness mirrors for home workouts, we thoroughly researched options from today’s most trusted brands before choosing seven to test firsthand. We spoke with fitness experts to understand the most important features to look for in a fitness mirror, along with health and safety considerations for at-home exercise. When testing exercise mirrors at home, we consider these factors:
- Ease of Use: Fitness mirrors should be sleek and intuitive. As we try various workouts with each mirror, we ask ourselves: Are the instructions easy to understand and follow? Is the real-time feedback helpful and simple to implement?
- Workout Variety: Upon first use, we sift through each mirror’s workout library to evaluate its range of options. We look for a large variety, including weight training, HIIT, yoga, Pilates, and barre classes, along with bonus offerings like meditation. We also consider whether we can narrow the available workouts based on muscle groups and health and fitness goals.
- Engagement: Staying focused and motivated while exercising alone at home can be challenging, so we consider how well each mirror holds our interest. Does the guided workout energize us, or do we feel bored halfway through? Does the mirror make it easy to track our progress, including important metrics, while we work out?
- Design: Fitness mirrors are a prominent feature in any room. After installation, we consider how each mirror looks in our home: Is it sleek and modern or bulky and distracting? Are we comfortable keeping it in our living room, or is it best left in a home gym or basement?

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of fitness mirrors?
Along with the convenience of working out at home, fitness mirrors offer access to a wide variety of workouts, enhanced progress tracking, and an immersive experience. According to Foley, exercise mirrors’ biometric tracking features give you (and your trainer) valuable knowledge to improve workout efficiency and ultimately foster greater results. He also says that fitness mirrors virtually connect you to a community of exercisers, adding motivation and camaraderie to an otherwise solo activity.
Can your fitness mirror trainer see you?
Often, yes—many fitness mirrors come with cameras, allowing your trainer to see you during live classes and one-on-one sessions. This allows for personalized form feedback and a more interactive experience. You can cover the camera when it’s not actively in use for peace of mind.
How much space do you need near the mirror to work out?
Generally, we recommend having at least a yoga mat’s worth of space in front of the mirror. Try to clear the area of any items you could accidentally kick or knock over.
