UK fitness mirror startup Magic AI secures £8m for US expansion
Magic AI, a London-based company developing an AI-powered fitness mirror, has raised £8 million. The funding will support its push into the US market, where similar smart home fitness devices have gained traction. The product uses computer vision to provide real-time workout feedback, competing with established players like Mirror and Tempo.

“The raise underscores how European fitness tech startups are increasingly targeting the US, where consumer spending on at-home equipment remains resilient despite broader economic uncertainty.”
What it means
Magic AI’s timing aligns with a post-pandemic shift toward hybrid fitness solutions, though the space is crowded. Success will hinge on whether its AI can differentiate from incumbents with deeper pockets. If the US launch gains traction, it could accelerate consolidation in the sector—either through acquisition or further funding rounds.
