    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).

    Oh that’s perfect! For those who spend so much time looking in the mirror, why not multitask, catch up on your social media feeds, game or stream some content?

    Who’s the dumbass? The person who makes the shitty mirror, or the person who bought the inevitably extremely shitty mirror?

      This might be a ‘smart’ (not enough quotes) mirror that can be used to virtually try clothes. The brand name in the error message is a hint. I know they exist, I have yet to see one, and hopefully I will never see one

    I don’t understand the problem, You’ve got a perfectly well working product, just without the Internet access. If you don’t want to connect it to use the advanced features, just unplug it and use the mirror in the way you like.

      Nobody bought this mirror accidentally for $1000. They bought it for the specific workout shit it does around correcting your form.

      You people are so God damned smart and judgemental

        You can see how incredibly easy it is to spread disinformation, counting on the overwhelming information bombardment to do no fact-checking and have us act - or not act at all - against our own best interests. By which I mean this sort of thing:
