Sensors, Weights, Tracking and Accessories

What kind of things does Carbon track?

We track the same kind of things you track in a training session or CrossFit. Things like time-under-tension, total load, force / explosiveness. Some of these things deliver data that really isn't normally tracked in a session so they can offer some pretty interesting insight into your performance metrics and weaknesses.

Does it come with a heart rate monitor?

Carbon has a heart rate monitor built in that can monitor your heart rate while at rest without the need to attach anything to your body. If you want constant heart monitoring, Carbon can connect with any bluetooth enabled HR monitor, or ANT+ HR monitor.

How does it keep track of calories burnt?

Caloric burn is calculated with a combination of activity type, heart rate and the time you’re performing the exercise.

Does Carbon need weights to work?

You don't need weights to use Carbon. Carbon has plenty of bodyweight movements and programming built in. These require no equipment at all.

Can I use my own equipment with Carbon?

Carbon will track what you do no matter what. Carbon comes stock with 6 rechargeable sensors that can be stuck on pairs of weights, or individual kettlebells.

How do you charge the sensors and weights?

Both Carbon weights and the sensors are charged with USB-C. Wireless charging is also planned by the time units begin shipping.

Installation and other technical questions

What's included with my Carbon?

With Carbon you'll receive a pack of adhesive sensors that you can attach to your own home equipment and resistance bands. Additionally, we offer our own line of smart weights with built in sensors that work seamlessly with Carbon.

How do I install my Carbon?

Although we are not yet offering white-glove installation, we will provide full instruction and support through the entire installation. Setup is quite simple.

How much space is required?

For the most space demanding workouts that utilize weights, we recommend an area of 8' wide and 8' deep for a comfortable space to move in. For bodyweight only, 6' x 4' would do just fine.

Since Carbon is equipped with an ultra-wide camera, you can stand quite close to the unit. 3' is about how close you can stand. As for how far you can stand, up to 15'.

What are the dimensions of Carbon?

The dimensions of the mirror unit alone is H55.22" X W24.82" X D2.56".
The height of the mirror + stand is 67" from top to bottom.

What data do you store?

We store aggregate and anonymized exercise and movement data. We also store profile information associated with exercise history. You can opt-in to help us improve Carbon with your video data.

Does Carbon need to be wall mounted?

Carbon doesn't need to be wall mounted. There is a stand option that allows you to lean it against a wall. With the stand, there is a small wall-attachment kit to ensure the mirror doesn't get knocked over.

Does the Carbon Trainer support international voltage / power inputs?

Yes, Carbon supports global voltage standards from 110 to 230v. It connects with a standard desktop computer cable.

How portable is Carbon?

Although you can move Carbon, I wouldn't call it portable. There is the option to use the stand instead of the wall mount which allows you to lean the unit against the wall. This certainly makes it more portable.

difference between us and others

How is Carbon different from the Mirror?

There are a few key differences between Carbon and the Mirror. Many of the customers interested in our product also have the Mirror in their household. While Mirror is very much focused on delivering yoga, and dance content, Carbon's focus is on delivering an experience that's like a personal trainer. That means a central theme for us is strength and mobility as well as accurate and detailed tracking of the things that really matter when it comes to personal fitness and meeting your strength and fitness goals.
‍
Technically speaking, MIRROR requires a phone to work and does not have a touch screen, sensors or 3D camera. Carbon Trainer can see your whole work out with 3D cameras giving you personal training tips and rep counts. It also supports sensors that keep track of any weight you are lifting. Carbon Trainer also is fully standalone with a 4K touch screen.

How is Carbon different from Echelon Reflect?

Reflect, much like the Mirror, uses an app on your smartphone that you stream to the device. There are no onboard sensors and no way to log workout details in any way whatsoever. Not even a heart rate. Carbon was designed to understand your entire fitness journey. Tracking and sensors are absolutely central to that understanding. That means not just knowing how many squats you’re doing, but understanding your progress, if you’re struggling or finding it too easy.

How is Carbon different from Tempo

Beyond the mirror form factor, Tempo is very much focused on light-weight body-pump style classes. This is a great option for someone that's interested in that category of exercise exclusively in a class setting. Carbon is focused on reaching fitness goals. This means our intelligent system closely tracks what you do to offer feedback, guidance and provides motivation through strong feedback loops, to aid in reaching your fitness goals. Carbon tracks your repetitions, sets, weights and watches for when you’re not performing exercises the way you should (consistently).
