Fit XR

Calorie consumption: 360 - 480 kcal/hr

Box VR was one of the first virtual reality games that are aimed solely as workout games. To stage a set of VR workouts the creators collaborated with professional trainers. It seems to be less like shadow boxing and more like a function in which everyone must know the rhythm and the pace. Driving beats urge you to pump your arms, shoulders and chest.

Box VR was under major development and was later reconstructed in summer 2020. This game is now called Fit XR.

From the efficiently developed website, Fit XR has transitioned to operate under a paid fit subscription service. For nine hundred ninety-nine dollars, one can be able to access hundreds of fitness classes that are rutinely uploaded. Namely, it is focused on boxing, HIIT, sculpt and dance classes. The equipment also includes Zumba and for Fit XR there is also a mixed reality mode. If all you wish to do is try it out, there is a 7 day free trial.

Based on my long term review for Fit XR, this paper has focused on explaining various courses offered the application and the experiences that I personally had.

Audio Trip

So if you are in the need of a hybrid between Beat Saber and Dance Central, then Audio Trip for Meta Quest is by far worth your time. Techno music and flying balls will bring out your inner vigorous dancer, and preferably the action will look all stylish in the gameplay trailer. The show employed a professional dancer, to work with, while coming up with the choreography. Once you have practiced on all the songs, you can use the level editor that is integrated into the game to design other VR dances.

Players can switch the colors of the stones On the skin, and new equalizers of the different sounds help to adjust the necessary additions. You can also publish your talent with your own custom songs and your own dance on an international chart.

There are now several expansions for Audio Trip: By the “Get Funky” update, three new choreographies and three funk songs are being added to the game. There are also other environments , though. The “Make this your Audio Trip” update consists of many alteration features and the “Swanky Song Pack” adds new songs.

Beat Saber

Calorie consumption: 360 - 480 kcal/

As for Beat Saber, it became one of the favorite VR games in Meta Quest 3 and the developers continue to update it and release new positions of track list with new music. Meta Quest 2 brought Beat Saber multiplayer for free with it.

This was succeeded by the free song pack OST 4 in the year 2021 with main composer Jaroslav Beck concentrating on guitars and metal songs. Beat Saber operates at 90 Hz since the update 1. 13. 2. Cross play and application sharing supported have also been added: If you share your quest, other users may save their scores and the high scores. Also, the new update is beneficial as players of both Quest and Steam VR games can fight with lightsabers simultaneously in multiplayer space. The new expansion is Hip-Hop Song Pack.

Beat the Beats

Still, Beat the Beats remains a rather difficult VR fitness and rhythm game that involves boxing and indie music and has its own world leaderboard. The full version is at the moment exclusive to PSVR 2 however porting in development for both PC and Meta Quest versions. Actually, there is an open demo in the Quest Store right now.

The gameplay is very similar to Beat Saber and its many clones: Specifically, you have to reach out the light green and purple panels that fly towards the protagonist imitating boxing motions to the beat of the music. The direction of the panels’ approach is also changed according to the different boxing movements like jabs, or knockout punches known as uppercuts. Further, moving towards you are red triangles in the form of snakes, and for which you need to use your brilliant upper body movements to avoid.

Creed — Rise to Glory

Calorie consumption: 360 - 480 kcal/hr.

For those who want to feel like having personal trainer/boxer come close and teach them how to punch, then Creed - Rise to Glory is the game to take. The sequenced direct continuation of the Hollywood film series Rocky is also heavily gaged on Oculus/Meta Quest (2).

Lite sessions with bobbling veteran Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) and punching arcade boxing are rather entertaining and healthily challenging during the cardio exercise. For those who wish to fight VR boxers, there are multi-player fights organized in rather frequent basis.

The Endurance mode, connected to Oculus Move, was included to the developer studio the prior year by an update. This disables the ‘stamina’ in the game and your character does not feel tired until you are. According to a study by VR Healthy, the new mode intensifies the workout with Creed: The show is a musical called Rise to Glory. The game has also gained new support for trackers which are applied to hands.

Les Mills Body combat

Les Mills Bodycombat is akin to FitXR, except without a subscription basis. The fitness business bearing the same name is gaining popularity and provides its unique martial arts-based lessons at licensed facilities across the globe. VR athletes may now work out with the Quest app.

FitXR's boxing courses concentrate on the upper body, but Les Mills Bodycombat uses squatting knee strikes, diagonal hammer punches, and uppercuts to work the entire body. You are accompanied through all thirty lessons by two certified fitness instructors who walk you through the exercises in a tutorial.

Both novices and experts can find the difficulty levels accommodating, but they are consistently quite demanding. In his Mixed on Monday piece, Ben detailed the difficulties of Les Mills Body combat.
