Whether you’re interested in a fun virtual reality experience, a new community, or just want to strengthen muscles in a new way, each of these unique training options has something special to offer its members.

Calling all VR lovers! Whether you’re interested in the virtual reality space or simply looking for a new way to spice up a workout routine at home, Supernatural offers an all-encompassing VR fitness experience. With modern music, an array of expert coaches, unique VR destinations, and an almost game-like style of training, people will forget they’re even working out. Designed for use on Oculus’ Meta Quest 2, Supernatural virtually transports users to locations such as Machu Picchu, the Maldives, or the Great Wall of China for a gamified training experience with four different modalities: Flow (Cardio), Stretching, Meditation and Boxing. There is even a meditation led by Tiffany Haddish†
“We talk a lot about finding the joy of exercise and helping people unlock that, whether that’s by gamifying fitness or just making something fun that explodes,” said Jonny Ahdout, head of product marketing and community. “And then the result is 30 minutes later, you’ve just had a great workout, but it didn’t feel like it. Most people dread going to work out, and it’s this chore that they have to go through on their own. This instead draws you to this fun experience, at least all these physical events, benefits.”
He continued: “For many people it became their escape [during the pandemic] from these four walls they were stuck in all day… No notifications, no other screens, nothing distracting, which I really like.”
Supernatural is available for as little as $19/month or $179/yearly.
