lululemon Studio 4+

I love this — When it WORKS

Love the app itself and all the different programs. I like doing monthly programs to keep me on track and accountable, and I like how it tracks your progress. I don’t have an apple watch but I imagine if I did I’d love it even more. After a few weeks of doing the programs I was amazed at how easy I found it to run a 5k at a good clip without stopping (no longer an easy feat now that I’m on the wrong side of 25)

Now the bad part— more than half the time I go to use the mirror my phone won’t connect, even though I’m on the same wifi network. It seems like this is a common issue, and I’ve tired everything to get it to work. There’s no sure fire method for connectivity success and after the last update it doesn’t seem to work no matter what I do. This is a mirror in my family home and I personally didn’t shell out the cash for this thing, but I could imagine if I had spent all that money and paid for subscription fees I’d be fairly livid. I don’t attempt to use the mirror before work because I know I won’t have time to troubleshoot, I end up just loading the workout on my itty bitty phone screen and standing in front of what has mostly become just a regular old mirror. Super disappointing and I hope that someone smarter than me can figure out how to fix this issue.

Finally, my perfect fit

I bought the lululemon Studio mirror on Black Friday. I love gadgets, so I thought this could be the perfect gadget to motivate me to work out. Man was I right. Not only have I been faithfully working out for over a month, but I finally enjoy working out. I have always hated the idea of a gym, I’m kind of a germaphob and I also don’t love the idea of being around a bunch of people that know what they’re doing when I don’t. This studio mirror perfectly combines the idea of a personal trainer and being in the comfort of your own home. The ease-of-use is huge for me. This has been the only thing that has worked for me - and when I tell you, I tried everything…I mean everything. I tried everything from yoga classes, personal trainers, personal sessions, group sessions… the whole 9. I just couldn’t find my right fit. I felt like everything was just too out of the way for my busy schedule. I would always be on time, but I was pushing it to my limit. Being able to roll out of bed, or do a work out real quick before picking up my son from school, or a meditation session at lunchtime… this has brought absolute peace to my life. Also- really cool to show people. Definitely one of my best home accessories!!!
Don’t knock it till you try it. I am so happy that if I knew it would change my life like this, I would’ve paid full price. I am glad I got it on sale though, because I wouldn’t have been able to pay full price. But I do love it that much.

Money well spent

My original review on the Mirror in August 2020:

So many days I was sitting in my house and I would see the commercial. The commercial is just the beginning. I have had the mirror a little over a month now and I'm in love!! Living in South GA, it's constantly hot 10 out of the 12 months a year. With the Mirror, I can get a quality workout with amazing instructors without feeling sticky from all the humidity outside from walking to my car to go inside a gym. The ability to pick your own music, take the mirror on the go, and so many varieties of classes of different time lengths is amazing! You will not regret this purchase. Purchase today, you will be glad you did :)

Update: Did not think I would love using an app everyday to work out after getting so used to the Mirror in my house. When I went out of town for work in September, I did not have to worry about trying to find workout classes at a gym near me or figure out gym hours(something I would have had to do in the past). I woke up in the hotel, turned on the app and got to work. This was just an awesome bonus. With the ability to preload workouts, I don’t have to worry if I don’t have a great internet connection because the class will be ready to rock when I am. Since my original review, they have added more features. Would rate it more stars if I could!!!
