Best VR Fitness Games and Apps 2025
In this article we count down the best VR fitness games and apps to get you started on your virtual reality fitness journey in 2025. In general, VR is going to be a great way to get you daily movement in and any VR game is going to be better than traditional flat screen gaming. But if you’re looking to really get your sweat on, then look no further.
This article will be kept up to date as new titles are released in the VR fitness space. Last update 08/05/2025
Right now I am excluding subscription based games but I may add them in the future.

11. Guardian of Realms (Quest)
Guardian of realms is a mixed reality sword fighting game available on Quest 3. The only movement is real movement, so you will want a decent sized play space for this. But essentially various soldiers and monsters will be making their way into your home and you’ll have to do you best to defend it with a sword and shield.
In the video above I am playing in a space of 2.5x6m. If your play space is significantly smaller than that, then I would not recommend this game.
Fitness Stats: 20 min workout, 185 Calories, 132 average heart rate, 161 Max Heart rate.
However, this game really become a full fitness game if you have access to an incredibly large play area – like a park (be careful of sun) or a gym. Once I had access to a 15x15m play area and was sprinting from one side of the park to the other my stats increased to 271 calories, 168 average heart rate, with a max of 187! Now that’s some serious interval training.

10. Blaston
Blaston is a free-to-play game that’s available on the Quest, PCVR and Pico 4. The game is a fast-paced 1v1 dueling shooter that will put your skills to the test. The objective is simple: pick up weapons and defeat your opponent by shooting them while avoiding their bullets and projectiles.
One of the unique aspects of the game is that all projectiles move in slow motion. To survive, you’ll have to perform a lot of side stepping, squatting, and lunging.
Fitness Stats: 20 min workout, 203 Calories, 142 average heart rate (BPM), 183 max HR

9. X-Fighter (Quest & Pico)
Blurring the lines between boxing and rhythm games, we have this mixed reality boxing game called X-Fighter. Hey Cyborg warriors will spawn into your house and you have to spar with them in time to the beat of the music.
X-Fighter supports custom songs, so you’re sure to enjoy your workout.

8. Beat Saber (Quest, PCVR)
I don’t really think Beat Saber needs any introduction but incase you’ve been stuck under a rock it’s the lightsaber game where you slice through boxes. It’s gonna be mostly upper body focused with the occasional squat. As you get better and can take on more challenging difficulties it its going to become a better cardio workout.
I use it in a bit of a unique way because my shoulder mobility is absolute trash, so I pick an easy song and just focus on slicing through all the way to open up my shoulders before or after an intense VR workout.

7. Audio Trip (Quest, PCVR, Pico)
While we have audio trip number 6 is actually a 3-way tie between Audio Trip, Synth Riders and Dance collider. My personal pick is Audio trip because of cardio mode but I just don’t think that there’s enough difference in gameplay to warrant picking up all 3. So if you own any of these just make do with what you’ve got.
Basically you need to line up your paddles with the correct color shape which is designed to get you dancing. Even though you don’t necessarily have to use your legs you might find them tapping away on their own.
6. Until you Fall (Quest, PCVR)
When it comes to VR fitness games, “Until You Fall” stands out as one of the best options available. This roguelike hack and slash game is not only fun and enjoyable, but it also provides an excellent cardio workout. The game requires you to unlock a variety of weapons and use them to defeat challenging enemies. As you progress, you collect aether to upgrade your weapons and take on even tougher enemies in the later levels.
“Until You Fall” is a great workout that involves a lot of sword and axe slashing, blocking, ducking, and squatting. It’s also very addictive, with a “just one more game” effect that can break your sense of time and leave you playing for hours on end. The game has a smooth playstyle that focuses more on the shoulders and arms, but with the addition of two-handed weapons, you can now engage your core as well.

5. Thrill of the Fight (Quest, PCVR)
Thill of the fight is our oldest VR fitness game on the list but is still one of the most realistic boxing simulator available.
With various opponents to face and a range of difficulty levels, “Thrill of the Fight” offers a challenging and dynamic workout that will keep you engaged and motivated. Whether you’re a seasoned boxer or just looking to get in shape, “Thrill of the Fight” will have you huffing and puffing. It is probably the most physically demanding VR Fitness game.
If improved graphics and multiplayer is more you thing then perhaps you could check out Creed.

4. Thrill of the Fight 2
Thrill of the fight 2 is the new boxing simulator and comes with one big feature that it’s predecessor was lacking, Multiplayer.
Now queueing into ranked matches might not be the best idea, especially if you’re after a good workout.
But if you have a friend of sparring partner that will take it semi seriously with you, then this is one of the most fun ways to do interval training, EVER!
I set a custom match with a friend of similar ability. 10×2 minute rounds with a 1 minute rest. The results speak for themselves. Almost 400 calories in 30 minutes (I forgot to stop the timer), Max HR 182 with an average of 153.

3. Ragnarock (Quest, PCVR, Pico)
You’re probably wondering why this little Viking drum simulator so high on the list, and it not just because of the genre or music.
There is a way to turn Ragnarock into battle rope simulator! Select songs on their easiest difficulty and then focus on absolutely destroying the drums in front of you. This will light up you shoulders, arms, lats and abs. In my own test, I was able to burn over 10 calories/minute with this method. Read more on our full Ragnarock Review.

1. Pistol Whip (Quest, PCVR, Pico)
Pistol Whip is the cyberpunk-themed john-wick rhythm-shooter. There are different weapons and load outs you can choose from but the premise is basically shoot things and don’t get shot.
Here’s what you have to do to turn it into my favorite lower body VR workout.
- Either ditch the guns entirely pick “brawler”
- Or if you want to keep the guns select, “scavenger”, “vengeance” or “more bullets” modifier – and of course “no fail” so you can keep going if thing get a little bit too hard
But the whole idea here is to increase the amount of projectiles coming at you. Take up a boxing stance and just slip to the side using your obliques, but once its gets crazy you’re gonna have to choice but to go into squat mode.
This game also just keeps getting better with age, every release so far has been completely free. With 40 official and over 400 community made you’re bound to find something that keeps you moving.
