Sweat it out in VR.

FitXR is a fitness game designed for the Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2 that offers HIIT, boxing, and dance classes accompanied by upbeat music, motivational instructors, and workouts for all levels of athleticism. I initially reviewed FitXR at the beginning of 2021 when it was a single app purchase that hosted boxing and dance workouts, but a lot has changed since then.

FitXR has added a HIIT studio and a multiplayer option, as well as a bunch of new tunes to accompany workouts. It also switched from a single app purchase with DLC options to a monthly membership subscription. It’s a choice many FitXR app “owners” aren’t happy about, as they can’t access new features without subscribing.

All that being said, I find FitXR to be a fun, effective way to get into shape. If you’re a fan of VR and fitness — and own a Quest 2 — this is a game worthy of checking out. Get ready, because VR just got a whole lot sweatier.

Jam out, have a blast, and whip your body into shape with FitXR.

I’m a total novice when it comes to virtual reality but have always been so fascinated by it. I’ve played with VR a tiny bit in the past, but I’ve never experienced anything like the experience I got with Oculus Quest 2; my mind was blown. So naturally, I was thrilled when I received an email asking if I’d be interested in reviewing a fitness game called FitXR available on Oculus Quest 2.

I’m a master group fitness instructor and fitness enthusiast; I love to sweat it out whenever and however I can. I had no idea what a fitness class would be like in virtual reality or if it would be a good workout, but I’m thrilled to report that FitXR is a fantastically fun, effective way to whip your body into shape. FitXR enables you to dance and box your way to fitness with great music, motivational instructors, and workouts designed for everyone. If you’re a fan of VR, Oculus Quest, and fitness, this is a game you’ll definitely …

We all appreciate the ability to get our workout done at home, especially when at-home workouts are rapidly gaining in popularity (and necessity). As much as we want to get our sweat on in the comfort of our own living spaces, the truth is, some of us just don’t have a ton of room. That’s why we created this list of the best low-profile exercise machines for home gyms. Our favorite is the LifePro Waver Vibration Plate because it offers a complete full body workout on a small, easily storable, vibrational plate. However, you can’t go wrong with any products that made this list. These machines were designed with smaller spaces in mind, so you can do big workouts in compact places.
