We’re thrilled to announce a massive new content update for BoxVR out today, adding 12 new workouts and over 140 minutes of brand new music. BoxVR is a boxing-inspired virtual reality game, that turns your PlayStation VR into a fat-burning personal trainer, challenging players to jab, weave, dodge, squat and uppercut during high-intensity workout routines.

Based on popular player requests, BoxVR will receive over 40 new music tracks spanning across a wealth of genres, including 80s Electro, Rock and Metal. Opening up voting to the game’s community, we asked our players what new types of music they wanted to work up a sweat to, and after a tremendous response on social media, the top picks are now being added in this major update.

These tracks will be introduced with 12 new, adrenaline-pumping workouts utilizing the music to create electrifying routines to burn it up. The workouts have been choreographed by professional fitness instructors to deliver a true workout from the convenience of your home

Ianthe, our Head of Fitness, has also crafted a fitness challenge for January. We will feature a new class each day — progressively getting harder and longer throughout the month. Keep an eye on our social channels to take part!

Designed to be used by players of a variety of fitness levels, BoxVR provides users the opportunity to workout from home, tackling an array of choreographed routines of varying lengths and intensity in single-player and with up to five other people in real-time challenges. Players can also create custom workouts, to further push their own limits and adding endless content to the game.

“BoxVR has made a powerful impact in virtual reality, expanding the horizons of the industry far beyond what many may have anticipated from the hardware. We have proven that not only is there a dedicated and vast community of players who are passionate about alternative fitness, but that VR’s potential is endless.” said Sameer Baroova, Co-founder of FitXR. “We are extremely excited to be working directly with the community and enhancing the core experience with new content, and we are eager to see how our players engage and train with it.”

BoxVR has been awarded Best VR Fitness Game of the Year by VR Fitness Insider and has grown to a community of over 100,000 customers looking to revolutionize their workout with VR.

BoxVR is a boxing-inspired PS VR fitness game that delivers a professional quality workout whether you’re a couch potato or a total gym rat — or anywhere in between. It was co-designed by me and a team of five other professional fitness instructors. We used our 50+ years of collective experience to build routines that deliver the same quality of workout you’d get in a top-tier fitness studio while still being incredibly fun — kind of a mash-up of Guitar Hero and Zumba!

BoxVR is one of those games you’ll grasp in seconds, yet it never gets old. Throw hooks, jabs, uppercuts and other punches at coloured targets while ducking, bobbing and weaving to dodge other ‘attacks’. Each sphere indicates which hand to use and which type of punch to throw. Themed environments and a wide range of difficulty and intensity options add to the challenge and excitement.

Each routine is choreographed to music ranging from hip-hop to electronica to disco and more. For the PS VR adaptation, we’ve more than doubled the number of music tracks, for a total of 110, and added 11 exclusive new routines, for a total of 45 — creating an massive variety of workout session combinations ranging in duration from six to 60 minutes. (We’ll be adding tons more routines and tracks over time.)

How is BoxVR different from other movement/rhythm games? Well for starters, it’s the only game co-designed by me and several other professional fitness instructors. Our decades of experience helping people get the most out of their workouts were instrumental in choreographing the routines in the game, and you can feel the difference when you play.

BoxVR workout routines gradually increase in intensity and challenge, but are never impossible – meaning players maximize their strength, endurance, timing and accuracy with minimum risk of injury. The routines include brief rest periods, deliberately designed to give players time to recover and lower their heart rate so they can go right back to giving 100% effort.

The game tracks your caloric burn rate, session length and more by session, week, month and all-time. This not only lets players ramp up the intensity of their workouts gradually, it’s also motivational; seeing your ongoing progress and cumulative calories burned is pretty inspiring!

As a professional dance and fitness instructor for many years, I’ve led thousands of group fitness classes all over the world, and I’ve been having a blast helping design and choreograph the routines in BoxVR. From the intensity level and duration to the music tracks, it’s easy to get the workout you want while having a great time honing your moves and racking up perfect scores.

For the PS VR launch, we’ve even added a trophy system (including a Platinum Trophy) to help track your progress and celebrate your major milestones. There are lots of VR games that will get you moving, but only BoxVR delivers a pro-quality workout session tailored to your specific needs, from duration and intensity to style and soundtrack. We’re super excited to bring BoxVR to PS VR, and hope you’ll give it a try!
