VR Fitness App Liteboxer Adds Full-Body Workouts

September 29, 2022 From vrscout

VR fitness continues to evolve at a rapid pace.

Liteboxer, the VR fitness app for Meta Quest 2 headsets, today announced the launch of Total Body, an all-new full-body workout led by Liteboxer professional trainers. Whereas previous workouts focused primarily on boxing, Total Body has you performing a variety of different movements designed to work the entirety of your body.

You’ll perform everything from battle ropes and lung lines to squat ropes and speed bags. Pretty much everything you need to get your sweat on. Meanwhile, Liteboxer software trackers your movements and measures your performance based on accuracy, force, and timing. This data is used to provide you with estimated calories burned.

Similar to Supernatural, another popular VR fitness app, workouts are synched to the beat of popular music from artists like Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga, and The Weeknd. Former “Bachelor” and Liteboxer brand ambassador Matt James recently appeared on The View to demonstrate the new Total Body workout.

“Liteboxer has captured what is intrinsically motivating about having a coach in your face pushing you to get in a couple more reps and bring it to the headset, for a fraction of the cost of a gym membership and with the convenience of not having to leave your home! So no need for that $3,000 rower,” said the company.

Liteboxer is available free on the Meta Quest 2. The free plan allows you access to a set number of Punch Track workouts and Trainer Classes. There’s also a premium subscription for $14.99 per month that unlocks even more content.

VR Fitness App Supernatural Adds Disney Workouts

September 27, 2022 From vrscout

Burn calories while enjoying some of your favorite Disney tunes.

Supernatural, the popular VR fitness app for Meta Quest headsets, today received a new workout playlist featuring some of the most iconic Disney music of all time. Subscribers to the platform can now access two new 17-minute workouts as part of the “Disney Hits” series.

“@getsupernatural is dropping a brand new workout series — Disney Hits: Heroes vs Villains!,” said Disney Music. “Join your favorite Disney characters for a heart-pumping sweat session in Virtual Reality – only available on @MetaQuestVR.”

Disney Hits: “Heroes” is a boxing workout featuring classic tunes for some of Disney’s most memorable heroes, such as the mighty Hercules. Introduced this past October, Supernatural’s boxing classes offer an intense full-body workout that has you striking targets and dodging obstacles to the beat of an adrenaline-pumping soundtrack.

Then there’s Disney Hits: “Villains”, a Flow workout with a slightly darker edge. The bread-and-butter of Supernatural, Flow workouts have you striking targets using a pair of virtual bats while avoiding obstacles in a 360-degree space. Think of it like Beat Saber, but designed specifically to deliver a satisfying cardio experience.

Like the rest of Supernatural’s playlists, both of the aforementioned workouts are led by professional coaches there to keep you motivated as you sweat. Heroes is led by Coach Mark; Villains is led by Coach Raneir.

Supernatural is available now on Meta Quest and Meta Quest 2 VR headsets via the Quest Store. While the app itself is free to download, you will need to sign up for a subscription in order to access the workouts themselves ($18.99 a month or $179.99 annually).

In addition to boxing and Flow workouts, you’ll also find relaxing meditative sessions as well as guided stretching classes.

The Supernatural Artist Series kicks off later this month with two Katy Perry-themed boxing and flow workouts.

The subscription-based VR fitness platform Supernatural is launching a new monthly workout series featuring music from popular artists such as The Weeknd, Lady GaGa, and Swedish House Mafia just to name a few. Each workout playlist in the “Supernatural Artist Series” will be choreographed to the music of a single artist, beginning first with pop superstar Katy Perry.

According to Billboard, players will have two new workouts to choose from later this month. The boxing workout will feature the popular Katy Perry tracks “Roar” and “I Kissed a Girl.” The flow workout, on the other hand, will have you smashing targets and dodging obstacles to the beat of “Unconditionally” and “Teenage Dream.”

“Katy is one of the most electrifying artists of her generation, with empowering anthems that lift fans up,” said Chris Milk, Founder and CEO of Supernatural, while speaking to Billboard. “She’s a known ally for the LQBTQIA+ community and compels the kind of self-love and acceptance that thrives within the Supernatural community. We’re thrilled for her to kick off our artists series.”

The Supernatural Artist Series kicks off June 27th with two Katy Perry-themed workouts. As previously mentioned, Supernatural will be introducing new music from big-name artists every month. Here’s what we have to look forward to throughout the rest of the year:

Imagine Dragons – July 2022
The Weeknd – August 2022
Swedish House Mafia – September 2022
Kid Cudi – October 2022
Coldplay – November 2022
Lady GaGa – December 2022

“Music has always been an integral part of Supernatural, and since launch we’ve been dreaming of ways to empower our athletes to further connect with music from the artists they love,” added Milk. “Supernatural uses virtual reality to help people find joy in movement, and when you combine that joy with a playlist devoted to one of your favorite artists, the exhilaration reaches entirely new heights.”
