Brynn Putnam, the founder of connected fitness company Mirror, has stepped down from her role as CEO, CNBC reports.

She’ll continue to serve as an advisor until July as the company searches for her successor.

He added that it’s expensive for the business to acquire new customers and subscribers, citing the rising cost of digital marketing.
