Swiss VR Fitness makes training fun, motivating and social

HOLOFIT Go, the Swiss VR fitness platform from Holodia, is designed to help make training with rowing machines, bicycles or elliptical trainers fun, motivating and social.

Imagine your next fitness session turns into a holiday. Does that sound tempting? Then you definitely have to try HOLOFIT Go, the Swiss VR fitness platform by Holodia try it out. The start-up wants to reinvent fitness with the help of VR.

The immersive environments would on the one hand distract from the effort of training, while four different training modes would motivate the trainee - no matter whether one trains alone or competes with friends.

HOLOFIT's current content includes more than 45 workout tracks in 11 "worlds". The latest VR environments are based on real sporting events, so you can race in Aiguebelette, San Francisco or Cambridge - and there will only be more to come. Holodia regularly releases new environments on HOLOFIT.

What is available at HOLOFIT?

The goal is to get people to start exercising again. In the exploration mode, exercisers can explore the environment while trying to collect all the trophies. They can later check what data they have collected in the HOLOFIT app on their phone. In Time Attack mode, they can exceed the distance they or others have travelled over a certain period of time after recording the first session. There is also guided training mode with cardio, fat burning or interval training - all customisable to an appropriate level of difficulty to achieve the personal cardio goal.

The multiplayer function also enables small group training and competitions. This makes training social despite the glasses. Combining the 4 training modes with 45 training sessions results in a total of 150 training options - to keep the training varied.

In addition, HOLOFIT comes with its own AI personal coach. He greets users at every HOLOFIT session if one wants this "personal care".

To save all training sessions, users can download the HOLOFIT companion app from the App Store or Google Play. It saves all data, but also offers a worldwide ranking list in which one's own results are compared with those of the rest of the HOLOFIT community.

To start training with HOLOFIT, you need the HOLOFIT software, a compatible VR headset and a compatible fitness device. Of course, you can also use the one at the gym if you have the courage to do so.
