I have one of these. It is literally the initial setup screen and it needs internet because all of the workouts are online and many are live. If you don’t want to use it for workouts just turn it off or ignore the message and it will go back to being a mirror in a few minutes.
I am so lost here. Are you suggesting that many people buy mirrors linked to the internet these days so that they can mimic figures displayed on that mirror in order to get their physical exercise in? Does the “mirror” need to be plugged in constantly(electricity/internet)? Is it even a mirror, or is it really just a shiny screen with a camera?
No bad faith intended here. I’d love for you to give me the name of the product - it just seems so odd to me.
This “mirror” is actually a big screen. What the reflection is for is so that you observe yourself performing actions, like you would do at the gym. What the screen is for is essentially your own personal trainer in your home. There are thousands of classes/sessions available for various exercises. It does have a web cam as well so you can have an actual personal trainer correct your form, but I have never used that part of it. Honestly it is pretty good, just priced too high for the monthly fees ($45).
Thanks for sharing! It just goes to show how different daily lives can be. Not in my wildest dreams would I get that in my house. But again, no bad faith here - to each their own.
Probs to Peloton though for diversifying their product base I guess. Home fitness as a service seems to still have some growth potential in it even after COVID is over.
