Our take

FitXR is rewriting the rules of fitness through immersive technologies. Using VR, it offers 5 studios, with hundreds of high energy classes on demand and choreographed by industry-leading fitness experts.

FitXR has successfully set itself apart in the space, becoming known for its engaging content and even referred to as the "most intense workout". This suggests they have bought users the same type of workout they would get in the gym, but in the Metaverse.

There has been a sharp rise in interest to use VR for fitness, and FitXR are well set to succeed in this growing market. To help attract new users (including those brand new to fitness), the company has partnered with the renowned Dr Brendon Stubbs, PhD - one of the world's leading exercise researchers.
