SAVE $139.99: Typically $1,639.98, Amazon has the 50-inch Echelon Reflect smart fitness mirror on sale for only $1,499.99 as of March 17.
We’re at the “so close, yet so far” point in the pandemic where widespread vaccination feels within reach, but it remains unsafe to make a full return to ~normal~ (whatever that even is anymore). Suffice it to say: No, you still can’t go to your workout classes.
That’s where something like the Echelon Reflect comes in — the smart fitness mirror features an interactive, WiFi-enabled touchscreen display that can stream live and on-demand fitness classes in full HD, effectively bringing the studio to you at home. Conveniently, Amazon has the 50-inch version on sale for just $1,499, or about $140 off its usual retail price of $1,639.98 — a respectable 9% savings — and it ships for free within days.

Compare that to the Mirror, another premium fitness mirror, which would wind up costing you $1,745 with delivery and installation fees.
A great option for apartment- or condo-dwellers with little room for a decked-out home gym, the Reflect mounts easily with specially made brackets (included) and sits flush against the wall at just 3mm thick. The display itself is waterproof, sweat-proof, and anti-reflective (thanks to a NANO crystal coating) and relies on cloud-based streaming video technology to bring those classes to you.
A subscription for access to said classes costs about the same as a boutique fitness studio or athletic club membership at $39.99 a month (or $399.99 annually) and includes a ton of different programs — everything from high-energy cardio and Zumba to yoga, Pilates, boxing, and ballet. (There’s even a personal trainer option that connects you to one of Echelon’s world-class instructors for one-on-one guidance, which is made possible with a built-in camera.) Personalized stats are broadcasted on the display in real-time during your workouts so you can keep tabs on your heart rate, check your calories burned, track your progress, and more.
