The Future Of Fitness… Could Virtual Reality Change The Game?

Runtastic proudly presents the development of its popular strength and toning exercises for Oculus Rift, the revolutionary virtual reality headset.

Runtastic for Oculus VR®: 7-Minute Workout & More

The Runtastic team has been preparing a selection of the company’s most popular strength & toning workouts for Oculus Rift. Workouts include the 7-Minute Workout, and will later include additional butt and leg workouts, yoga routines and more. With the use of Oculus Rift, individuals can complete workouts from the comfort of their home, office or hotel room, while enjoying the sensation that they’re exercising atop a gorgeous hillside, inside a cozy beachside villa or in a futuristic black hole. Future “locations” could include customizable surroundings, allowing each user to create their perfect, personal fitness zone or meditation oasis.

“The experience feels unbelievably real and is sure to help people keep motivated and engaged with their fitness routine,” said Runtastic CEO, Florian Gschwandtner.

Give It A Try: On Display at CES 2015

For curious souls wanting to try out this incredible new technology, Runtastic will be showcasing the VR experience at CES in Las Vegas, Nevada. The team will be at Booth #74107 in Tech West (in The Venetian (3355 S Las Vegas Blvd.), near the Venetian Ballroom) from January 6-9. For those not in attendance at CES, or wishing to get a behind-the-scenes look at Runtastic’s latest development, please view this video for compelling visuals and project insights.

“The integration of Runtastic and Oculus Rift offers users a totally new experience,” said Gschwandtner. “This could be a true ‘game changer’ for the entire fitness industry.”
