--- --- Nov 15, 2018 # A Mirror That Guides Your Fitness Regime Mirror by [TIME Staff](https://time.com/author/time-staff/) ## TIME Staff  For years, fitness companies have been promising the ultimate at-home gym experience, giving rise to everything from low-tech treadmills to super-sleek Peloton bikes. Now there’s [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co) ($1,495), a full-length display that is both a wall-mounted screen and an interactive fitness coach, allowing users to stream live workouts, such as boot camp and barre, and get real-time feedback from trainers. (Competitor Tonal offers a similar product but with bulkier equipment that marries a mirror with gym weight machines.) CEO Brynn Putnam, a former ballerina who also founded the New York City boutique fitness chain Refine Method, says she hopes Mirror will become a full-on gym replacement, aided by $38 million in investor backing. “If I could put \[Refine\] out of business, I’d be really happy,” she laughs. _—Jamie Ducharme_ **_Correction, Nov. 15_** _The original version of this story incorrectly described Tonal’s display. It is a screen, not a mirror._ Mirror Is One of TIME's Best Inventions of 2018 ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2018/5454465/mirror/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2018/5454465/mirror/"},"headline":"A Mirror That Guides Your Fitness Regime: The 50 Best Inventions of 2018","datePublished":"2018-11-15T11:44:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-02T23:28:36.236Z","description":"Find out why Mirror is on TIME's list of the best inventions of 2018.","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2018/5454465/mirror/","keywords":["best inventions","Best Inventions 2018"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc1995c36f5b1cadf/69893ef0db2987743e2612f0/mirror-best-inventions-2018-64.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc1995c36f5b1cadf/69893ef0db2987743e2612f0/mirror-best-inventions-2018-64.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2018/5454465/mirror/","name":"A Mirror That Guides Your Fitness Regime: The 50 Best Inventions of 2018"}}]}] ```
