Les Mills has created a VR version of its Bodycombat workout and made it available in the Metaverse.

The global group fitness specialist has teamed up with VR specialist Odders Labs to transform the Bodycombat programme into a high-octane VR gaming app on the Quest platform.

The game pits players against martial arts challenges across a variety of levels.

Players earn points for their effort and technique, with Bodycombat programme directors Rachael Newsham and Dan Cohen providing coaching cues and motivation to power players through the workouts.

The Bodycombat VR app is available to purchase in the Quest Store for US$29.99, with a Quest headset being required to play the game.

The game features 25 training sessions ranging from basic to advanced levels, hosted across stunning environments including a desert on Mars, a snowy tundra, ancient Rome, and an evening in a Tokyo-inspired neo city.

Rachael Newsham said: “The cultural convergence between fitness and gaming is sparking exciting collaborations and innovative products, so naturally we jumped at the chance to team up with Odders Labs to create something truly magical.

“The Bodycombat VR app transports you into the middle of the most popular martial arts workout on the planet. The gamification and stunning VR vistas combine with the incredible moves, music and instruction that Bodycombat is famous for to create an exhilarating experience that’s so fun you forget you’re even exercising.

“Our mission is to create a fitter planet and we hope the launch of the Bodycombat VR app enables us to reach new audiences and break down barriers to exercise, helping more people to start their fitness journey and reap the rewards of an active lifestyle.”
