As 2025 approaches and the pressure to embrace the “New Year, new you” mantra intensifies, there’s a fantastic alternative to customary fitness for those who aren’t keen on jogging or hitting the gym: Quell. This innovative workout app,which I personally consider one of the best of 2024,is bringing its gamified routines to Meta Quest headsets in January 2025.
If you missed Quell’s initial launch, it was originally a PC fitness platform. users would punch their way through the fantasy adventure game Shardfall using controllers, while resistance bands added an extra challenge, making it more intense than typical shadow boxing. The full-body, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions were demanding, yet Shardfall excelled at keeping me motivated. My actions weren’t just mindless repetitions; I was throwing punches to defeat the monsters in my path.
VR enthusiasts can soon experience this unique workout using a Meta Quest headset – resistance bands are optional. Shardfall is coming to Quest as Shardfall: fitquest VR for $19.99 / £14.99 at Meta.com. I’m genuinely excited about this growth.
Shardfall Will Be at Home in VR
“as 2025 approaches and the pressure to embrace the ‘New Year, new you’ mantra intensifies, there’s a fantastic alternative to traditional fitness for those who aren’t keen on jogging or hitting the gym: Quell.”
Quell, which I personally consider one of the best workout apps of 2024, is bringing its gamified routines to Meta Quest headsets in January 2025.
Get ready to sweat in the metaverse! Quell,the innovative fitness gaming system,is making its way to virtual reality (VR) headsets in 2025. While the original quell system requires dedicated hardware and a monthly subscription, the VR version will be available as a standalone add-on, making it more accessible to a wider audience.
The VR adaptation of Quell’s flagship game, Shardfall, promises an immersive and engaging workout experience. “As a $19.99 / £14.99 add-on to yoru existing VR headset, Shardfall in VR is a much easier sell, and I strongly recommend everyone give it a try at launch,” says a Quell representative.
Shardfall’s combat exercises are designed to feel like a boxing simulation, incorporating full-body movements like ducks and jumps to dodge attacks. The game also includes jogging sections between fights to keep your heart rate elevated.
while the VR version will forgo the resistance bands used in the original Quell system, the exercises are expected to remain challenging. ”It’ll be a shame to lose the resistance bands,but again that could aid Shardfall’s accessibility as its exercises will be a little less challenging – though I expect the full-body routines will still give you a decent workout without them,” the representative adds.
For those looking for a fun and effective way to kickstart their fitness journey in 2025, Quell’s VR debut is definitely worth checking out.
