Are the best fitness games worth playing? When I first slipped on my Meta Quest 2 headset and melted into the fitness Metaverse, I didn’t expect to enjoy working out with VR. In fact, my editor would attest to some resistance on my part.
I know it sounds bizarre. After all, testing fitness apps is part of my job. But as a personal trainer, VR just feels less, well — personal. I concede that it’s likely the future of fitness could go in that direction — albeit wearing much smaller headsets than the clunky Meta Quest 2 design. And as I huffed and puffed through various fitness apps on my Meta Quest 2, I started to get it.
