Community download is a weekly, discussion-oriented series of articles published (usually) every Monday in which we ask all of you, our readers, a single key question to fuel discussion and debate. For today’s community download, we’d like to know if you think VR training could be the future of home fitness training.
Now that we are living in a time of social isolation and staying at home by governments around the world, finding new ways to stay active and fit is more important than ever. Gyms are often closed these days and training at home as usual with videos or web conferences is not enough for many people.
This is where VR can come into play. Not only is it great to keep in touch with, but there are some really great VR practice apps out there too. With Beat Saber as the main catalyst for thousands of VR users around the world, and apps like BoxVR and Supernatural specifically focused on helping you exercise and stay fit, there has never been a better time to get fit at home .
But is this really the future for fitness at home? Will VR training be ubiquitous enough for gyms, coaches, and users to use it as often as the Peloton, Bowflex, elliptical, treadmill, or other popular exercise machine? Could a VR headset replace home gyms in the future?
