Latest instalment of world's most popular VR fitness app takes workouts into a new dimension by offering Mixed Reality experiences on the META Quest 3 headset

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Oct. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global fitness leader Les Mills has today launched LES MILLS BODYCOMBAT XR – the latest instalment of its breakout VR fitness app – boasting groundbreaking new features for the META Quest 3 headset.

Developed with XR gaming specialist Odders, the new app builds on the success of BODYCOMBAT VR, which is the world's best-selling VR fitness app, winning celebrity fans such as professional boxer Tommy Fury and being crowned META Quest's Best App of 2022.

The BODYCOMBAT XR app offers all the immersive workout thrills from the previous instalment, as well as Mixed Reality (MR) mode – a game-changing feature that fuses the user's real environment with the virtual training space, providing a previously unimaginable MR workout experience.

VIEW BODYCOMBAT XR TRAILER

META Founder Mark Zuckerberg hailed the BODYCOMBAT XR app as an example of next-level innovation during his launch of the META Quest 3 headset in California. Zuckerberg showed how the headset's new functionality enables users to choose between fully-immersive VR and innovative MR that brings high-octane gameplay into your real-world setting as targets and walls fly towards them.

As the world's most popular martial arts workout, BODYCOMBAT™ is enjoyed by millions each week across the world's top gyms. Led by the workout's legendary program directors Rachael Newsham and Dan Cohen – BODYCOMBAT XR pits players against martial arts challenges across a variety of levels, spanning intergalactic deserts and neo-city skylines. Players earn points for effort and technique, with Rachael and Dan providing coaching cues and motivation to power them through the workouts.

Rachael Newsham and Dan Cohen, Program Directors of BODYCOMBAT, said: "Get ready for the workout of your life! BODYCOMBAT XR takes your fitness to a whole new dimension, combining the best of VR with the exciting new possibilities of MR to bring epic battles out of the headset and into your living room."

"The BODYCOMBAT XR app brings a fist-full of thrills as you're transported into the middle of the most popular martial arts workout on the planet. Gamification and next-level innovation combine with the incredible moves, music and instruction that BODYCOMBAT is famous for, creating an exhilarating experience that's so fun you forget you're even exercising."

Jaime Pichardo Garcia, Odders Labs Business Director, added: "We've always strived to pioneer in quality and innovation, and the new MR mode on the Meta Quest 3 allowed us to take the BODYCOMBAT XR workouts to new heights, allowing for bigger and safer ranges of motion for the users.

"Go even harder without worrying about your surroundings, enjoy the lighter weight on the headset, and get a feel of your own home gym with a virtual portal into the world of BODYCOMBAT XR"

The BODYCOMBAT XR app is available now to purchase in the Quest Store (US$29.99). A Quest 3 headset is required to play the game to its full functionality. Existing owners of BODYCOMBAT VR will automatically receive a free update to the new version.

Standout features of the game include:

BODYCOMBAT'S SIGNATURE STYLE

The BODYCOMBAT XR app goes beyond jabs, hooks, and uppercuts, with new punch moves and knee strikes added to the dynamic fitness session. Squat and slip to dodge walls, throw sky punches to break targets, ram home hammer punches, and grab targets to slam with your knee!

LEVELS FOR ALL ABILITIES

Access all types of workouts – including boxing fitness, speed workouts, core exercises, lower body, and more. With over 50 workout plans, BODYCOMBAT XR is suited for everyone – from beginners to advanced enthusiasts.

UNBEATABLE RESULTS

AMAZING MUSIC
