VR headsets and VR fitness- are we looking at the new fitness trend?
At-home fitness has blown-up over the past several months. With many people working from home and practicing safe social distancing measures, connected fitness apps, like Peloton and Mirror, have recorded record-high earnings. With more people skipping the gym and working out from the comfort of their home, the demand for more at-home fitness options is on the rise.
FitXR, a London based VR fitness developer, wants to join the ranks by providing a virtual reality headset to users seeking a full-body workout in the comfort of their own homes. The startup, which developed the popular VR exercise app BoxVR, wants to “create immersive VR fitness games that provide real-world benefits. Our professionally designed workouts make fitness fun. They combine the enjoyment of gaming with the intensity of a personal training session, all in the comfort of your own home.”
FitXR offers the app, available in the Oculus Store, PlayStation Store, and Steam, for $29.99—with additional packages for $9.99.
