How Virtual Worlds are Transforming Fitness
The concept of the metaverse is still in its early stages, but it’s already sparking interest among consumers looking to enhance their daily routines and experiences. A recent survey revealed that 60% of U.S. teens and adults believe that virtual environments could make it significantly easier to find and maintain a fitness routine.
As the wellness metaverse continues to expand, it promises to create new ways to engage with users, including:
- Immersive mindfulness sessions
- Interactive cooking classes
- Virtual workouts
- Gamified exercise experiences
For example, VR fitness apps like Supernatural and Beat Saber are leading the charge by combining high-intensity workouts, upbeat music, and virtual coaching to deliver an engaging and fun exercise experience in the metaverse.
Meta recently announced that users will soon be able to sync their fitness data with the Apple Health App and the Oculus Mobile app on iOS. This means that all your exercise stats, including activities both in and out of VR, can now be tracked and accessed in one convenient location.
As Apple continues to innovate with its wearables, including the development of future goggles, we can expect metaverse-based wellness activities to grow in both variety and popularity. The wellness metaverse is poised to become a major player in the fitness world, offering consumers a new frontier in their pursuit of health and well-being. Watch this space!
