“It’s totally absorbing, time melts away, and it’s a little impossible to pull me out. Being in the headset removes me from the world; I’m not contactable when I’m in there,” writes maggielange
I’ve reached a stage of mourning I never thought would happen: longing for the boring four walls of my old gym and aerobic studios with their kicky graffiti. What I wouldn’t give now to be annoyed with their girl-boss propaganda as I fake a push-up. The feeling is half yearning, half anywhere-but-here desperation. Given the limitation of this reality, I took a shortcut to a change of scenery and spent a month working out with Supernatural, a virtual-reality fitness program.
In this spectacular world, my body doesn’t exist. There are no arms holding onto the bats that I swing toward the approaching bombardments, but I receive a rewarding vibration from the hand controllers when I’ve successfully made contact. I am all movement and animal grace, a genius of muscles, wasting no motion, the most competent physique to ever shift around.
Supernatural is one of a small handful of exercise apps created explicitly for a gym-equivalent workout. Box VR is a cardio boxing experience that also throws orbs at you to punch away. O-Shape, based on a Japanese game show, sets up a series of poses for you to match. VZfit is made to augment riding a stationary bike; the program lets you imagine things like you’re a leg-powered helicopter, a pegasus, or simply riding a horse through the Old West.
