Why VR Fitness is Taking Over the Wellness World
VR Fitness will help you get more people moving than just using apps that are based on step-counting. Instead of counting steps, VR puts users in an ultra-realistic world; there are games that allow users to fight aliens in space, practice yoga on the ocean, and other examples. Stanford University’s studies show user engagement increases with a VR Fitness solution by up to 40% compared to traditional training via video.
As a digital coach, you’ll benefit from a highly engaged client base who will no longer have to deal with clients who don’t show up to class, as they are addicted to the experience of working out in their own home with virtual trainers from around the world.
With global spending on wellness reaching over 5.6 trillion dollars by 2025 (Global Wellness Institute), the opportunity to create a virtual reality platform allowing people access to personalized fitness programs that could rival in-person training is right in front of you.
Digital coaching has already doubled user engagement within only a few days on platforms we’ve worked on. Virtual reality coaching has moved beyond science fiction and into a new competitive advantage for you.
How Digital Coaching Thrives in VR: Real Personalization, Zero Travel
Virtual coaching in VR is a totally interactive experience, not simply a video. An AI-powered avatar will provide real-time form correction, rep adjustments, and instant motivational feedback. The platforms that we’re working with, such as Supernatural and Les Mills XR, allow coaches to upload custom workouts, access data on how their members are progressing through the training, and host group workouts in a shared virtual environment.
Imagine this scenario: A busy mom participates in a virtual fitness coaching session while on her couch, where she’ll receive live form correction during the lunge and have the opportunity to interact with her trainer. You may also envision a corporate team participating in a group virtual HIIT challenge together. According to data published by PwC, the VR fitness market will be worth $12 billion by 2027 meaning that now is the time for coaches to be at the forefront of this growing market.
The features we have created are designed to fit seamlessly into your existing coaching application, enabling you to scale your coaching business effortlessly.

Challenges with and Keys to Success with VR Fitness
Though VR Fitness is not yet completely developed – Headhunters, motion sickness problems, and content development are some big obstacles that can stop users from successfully using this technology. Smart strategies overcome the existing barriers, such as motion sickness algorithms and affordable hybrid web VR-based platforms, plus simple solutions for content uploading.
One yoga studio chain took eight weeks from concept to go-live VR coaching platform and saw a 35% increase in client signups. It has shown that with proper execution, anyone can succeed.
