In this article, we'll explore some of the best VR fitness games available today and explain how they can help you reach your fitness goals!
Beat Saber
Beat Saber is a VR game that puts you in the role of a Jedi, slashing blocky obstacles in time with music. To play it, you can download it from the Quest store.
You'll also need to be coordinated enough to slash the blocks that appear on screen with your lightsabers as they pass through them at various speeds and heights. The game measures how well you’re doing by comparing your performance against your fellow competitors on a leaderboard. And you get to choose music packs, so whatever rocks your boat!
This is great for getting your heart rate up while toning muscles in both arms and to some extent your legs (since they will be moving around).
Overall we are a big fan of the "sabre'.
Thrill of the Fight
Thrill of the Fight is a boxing workout game that you can play against a friend or the game itself. "Enter a virtual gym and battle a series of unique challengers with their own styles and techniques. Use timing and skill to land the knockout blow. Evade swings, land jabs, and block punches to become the king of the ring!"
BoxVR
BoxVR is another boxing simulator that lets you choose different boxing styles and train in different environments. There are over 20 hours of works available with the addded beneift from being able (just like Beatsaber) to purchase music packs. You can track your progress, every workout is recorded so you can see how many calories you burnt. Set your goals and see your progress day by day.
Supernatural
Supernatural is a VR game that offers a variety of workouts. You can do everything from yoga and Pilates to boxing, meditation and more. It’s great for building muscle memory and learning new movements, which are two big reasons why people pick up fitness games in the first place.

If something doesn't make sense at first glance just keep practicing until it does!
