FITNESS
Time to

Reflect

Beach-body season seems to arrive
earlier and earlier each year. But fear
not, help is on the way. Designed by
creative multi-hyphenate Yves Béhar,
the new exercise system Forme is an
all-in-one strength-training studio that
blurs the line between home and gym.
“Our philosophy was to make a fitness
machine that’s fully integrated into
the home without it being an eyesore,”
he says of the device, which doubles
as a mirror when not in use, with a
minimal footprint. Activated, however,
the machine comes to life. Hidden
resistance handles can be engaged
for anaerobic exercises—perfect for
physical therapy and strength training—
while a ballet barre can be added
for pliés and élevés. And for anyone
in need of guidance, Forme features
an interactive display with a video
instructor to help you achieve your
goals, whether through yoga or dance.
“We film the workouts in a way that
makes it feel as though the user is
actually in the same room as their
trainer,” Béhar adds of the membership-
based system ($149 per month for the
first 39 months). “Nowadays everyone
is so busy, making it harder to work
out a few times a week for your well-
being. Forme goes a long way in
solving that problem.” In other words,
bring on the beach. —NICK MAFI
