Best workout mirrors 2022: Echelon Track to NordicTrack Vault

Smart workout mirrors are now officially a thing, and they're the ultimate replacement for your phone or TV when it comes to providing a comprehensive home workout fix, whether you’re into Pilates, barre or busting out reps with some classic strength training.

Once your smart full-length mirror is set up in your living room, the touchscreen-toting gadget can display streams of live classes or on-demand workouts much like a smart exercise bike, treadmill or rowing machine, making them a formidable piece of equipment to take personal training sessions to the next level.

Not only that, but they'll get smarter over time too, helping you correct your form, reach personalised fitness goals, and intuitively know when it’s time to put the ten pound dumbbells down. Rammed with tech like Bluetooth connectivity, HD touchscreens, and even 3D sensors, they're kitted out to offer the best workout possible.

If you’re sold on a smart fitness mirror with hidden fitness tricks to supercharge your home fitness without forking out for a gym membership, here are some things to think about before picking out the one to get sweaty in front of.

Our full pick of the best workout mirrors can be found below, but here's a quick rundown if you're in a rush:

If you're already familiar with a few of the big-name smart workout mirrors out there, you'll soon notice that two of the most popular mirrors — Tonal and Tempo Studio — are absent from this list. It's nothing personal. Instead, it's for the simple fact that neither mirror is currently shipping outside of the USA, so there's no way people on this side of the pond can get their hands on them. As soon as that changes though, we'll let you know.

While they'll look great in any room you care to put them in, these full-body mirrors will still be on the large and heavy side, so it's best to have a think in advance about where you plan to put them, and whipping out a tape measure ahead of clicking the order button is always a good shout. Whether you've got a living room or a dedicated home fitness studio, you'll want to make sure you've got enough room in front of the mirror to comfortably stretch out and do all activities comfortably. Some mirrors come with a wall mount or a stand to ease working out in front of it – just make sure you have ample space around it to burpee and make the most of other home gym equipment.

All fitness mirrors will need to be able to connect to your home Wi-Fi to get it up and running, so make sure to position it close to a plug socket and within range of your internet modem. It’s also handy to have one with Bluetooth support, giving you the option to pair up Bluetooth headphones when you want to zone out during workouts. It can also mean pairing up devices such as an Apple Watch or heart rate monitor to measure and display how hard you’re actually training in real-time while also adding an extra element of competition when working out against others in on-demand classes.

If you’re planning to use this futuristic piece of fitness equipment for workouts that use a mixture of bodyweight exercises, you might need some additional kit like resistance bands and kettlebells for weight lifting and a workout mat or yoga mat for floor-bound exercise. Some fitness mirrors handily include some of this extra equipment in the box. It’s also worth looking at extra features that make that mirror useful when you’re not training in front of it. Some offer built-in apps letting you use them essentially like a large tablet to browse the internet or use onboard cameras to make video calls. You might also want to invest in some extra recovery equipment, like a recovery roller, to help prevent injuries and soreness.
