Popular VR fitness app FitXR now playable in mixed reality on Meta Quest 3
FitXR brings its workouts to mixed reality. Users can now be aware of their surroundings during their workout and adapt the fitness experience to their space.
FitXR, one of the best VR fitness apps for Meta Quest, is now available in mixed reality. A new update introduces the features for Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S. This allows you to experience all FitXR studios through the color pass-through of the Quest headsets.

The new feature allows the virtual workout to be embedded in the real world. This is particularly useful if you have limited space or if there are obstacles in the room. Pet owners can also keep an eye on their furry friends while they exercise.
To enable Mixed Reality, select a training session, tick the MR option in the settings in the bottom right-hand corner and the training will begin in the new Mixed Reality environment.
You can use a slider in the pause menu to adjust the degree to which the virtual and real worlds are mixed. This allows you to see more or less of the real world, or return to virtual reality completely. FitXR plans to expand its Mixed Reality offering in the future.
FitXR: Not the first Mixed Reality experience
FitXR has established itself as one of the most comprehensive fitness applications in virtual reality. The subscription model provides access to various fitness classes, including boxing, dance, HIIT, sculpt and combat. Virtual trainers guide users, and new content is added regularly.
Earlier this year, FitXR introduced a mixed reality mode called Slam. It offers gamified High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) that adapts to the user's physical environment. Slam is designed for playing areas of approximately 3m × 3m and can be played with controllers as well as via hand tracking.
