Interesting but nothing special

As other have pointed out this app isn't doing any 3D instructors or environments. It's just 2D videos displayed around you with some nice timers. Instruction is good and it seems like eventually you will get access to a lot of stuff. Right now content is somewhat limited. My biggest gripe here is because nothing is in 3D you could replace this with a web browser or media player that allows you to place screens around you in the same way but choose any content. Pilates, yoga, boxing ... everything this offers can be found free on YouTube and could be displayed in a similar way if this was just a media player or browser with more control over your windows than the current browsers offer. The best thing this app does is show the potential of mixed reality workout apps, but ultimately it feels like they didn't commit fully.

No free trial. must sign up first

I can’t stand liars. Don’t say there is a free trial when you have to pay before trying it. You not only wasted my time. But I have to see your app on my device that can’t be removed.

I was really very excited to try this app. I have been anxiously waiting for someone to make a fabulous VR app with either yoga, Pilates, or barre. Or obviously all of them. And with a variety of classes and skill/fitness levels, many fabulous instructors to. choose from etc. With motivational things like daily and monthly challenges and goals to make you want to log in and do a practice every day. This app seemed just what I had been hoping for. What a sad disappointment this turned out to be. Firstly it’s just a screen that moves with your gaze. I knew that going in, but somehow expected something better. Something gorgeous and more VR like. Nope. Secondly most of the options aren’t available and are greyed out, and what is available; has just a couple of classes to choose from. Thirdly, and the dealbreaker was the loooong loading time and constant freezing during setup. I couldn’t do any practice after struggling for hours. Tried once more the flowing day. Same thing. I just don’t have the time and patience to waste hours with an app that doesn’t work, is 90% unfinished, and is costing money. A YouTube video would be 100% better! Both days, my workout window was wasted, and I had to give up, and get on with other life things. I was extremely disappointed. I had a week free trial, but cancelled the subscription the second day. I hope they get their act together, or someone else comes along and makes a decent yoga and/or Pilates, barre app.

Brilliant work out app

Can't believe this isn't widely advertised. I own most of the quest fitness apps and this is a brilliant addition. What a great workout app, very versatile and it has professional personal trainers in hologram 360 degrees around you. I can't wait for the other studios to open and see what else you come up with. The headset is in no way an obstacle when doing floor work, it is fully hand tracked and is working all smooth. Glad I found you guys!

Surprised!

I went into the week trial period thinking that I would “maybe” use it once. Like most trial games I get on my oculus. I stand corrected. I was been diagnosed with COPD and as someone who runs, that’s crushing. I live in a constant Smokey province and my cat allergies don’t help. So many things in my environment have prevented my lungs from getting better enough to get me back to running. I recently got over having bronchitis and things are still congested but I’m able to get back to light activities. I have been lazying around the apartment for months now, feeling sorry and watching all my running muscle fade away. I tried the intense boxing and fitness games on my oculus and every single one of them trigger massive coughing fits for me. They’re all too intense with the cardio for my lungs at this stage. I also thought activities like Pilates was incredibly fluffy. It looks like a bunch of stretching. I don’t like a few of the trainers. How they speak throws me off when I focus on them too much. Chloe is hard to understand at times because she jams her words when she rushes to catch up to her movement instructions due to her tangents, or when she stretches certain words out as of to punctuate, is annoying at times. Victoria is oddly flirty in her tone and it’s weird at times how her voice “sways” buuuuut it’s actually great because it forces me to focus harder on my balance and movements and tune every thing else out. I wish I can move their placement, though. Eg. When I am down at bridge- my face should be pointed up, but I have to angel it awkwardly at times to see where the instructor is at. But I love that the instructor has multiple placements in general. That is a common overlooked feature on fitness games. I just wish they were a little movable. If that makes sense. I just either need to “un” align a bit and turn my head to the side while in position or tuck my chin and look down to my knees. Overall- 30 mins on this program feels like 5 min of stretching and than suddenly there is muscle aches rewarding you in the morning. I actually set my own timer for 31 mins because I didn’t believe I was actually doing 30 mins. It’s crazy. I literally melt every time. I am discovering muscles I didn’t know I had… I know this because of the aches ;-) I 100% underestimated Pilates as a real fitness program, holy cow! Best part:: my lungs feel great afterwards!!! All the breath work is actually helping me strengthen my day to day breathing, I’ve needed my puffers a lot less this past week. So thank you for offering the trial period!! I wouldn’t have discovered an exercise that I can do AND bitterly enjoy, if you hadn’t. This game earned the 5 stars from me and I will be continuing to a subscription. Thanks again. :-)
