Peloton recently released its newest fitness innovation, Peloton Guide, an AI-powered camera that connects to your TV so you can see yourself on screen and follow along with Peloton’s guided strength programs (you can purchase their dumbbells separately) — think of it as a DIY version of Mirror. Peloton says the Guide can also track which muscles you’ve worked more than others and recommend programs to help make up training deficits. Interestingly, it’s going for $295 at launch, nearly 40 percent less than the projected $495 when the Guide was announced last year (that said, the $90 heart rate monitor included in the previously announced base package isn’t included at the current price). To learn more about smart home gyms, here are our recommendations for reflection-based home fitness products. You’ll also find Peloton in our guides to exercise bikes and folding treadmills.

Reebok launches Nano X2 shoes
Reebok’s latest iteration of the popular Nano trainers focuses on providing the wearer comfort, speed and control, the company says. The shoes come equipped with several features meant to enhance wearability. Reebok re-engineered the FlexWeave Knit Upper to be more durable and breathable and made the heel clip “slimmer and more defined” for added stability, according to the brand. The shoes also come with the Reebok’s Floatride Energy Foam, which the company says “offers extra responsiveness in the forefoot for comfort and support.” The shoes are available in both men’s and women’s versions.
