About VRWorkout
VRWorkout is a full-body fitness rhythm game where you jump, squat, plank, and sprint through choreographed exercise routines synced to music. Hit hand and head cues to the beat while building sweat equity in your living room, with customizable difficulty, freeplay mode for your own music, and heart rate integration to adapt the challenge on the fly.
VRWorkout is a fitness rhythm game with full-body engagement.
Jumping // Squatting // Pushups // Side Planks // Crunches // Running // Burpees and Sprinting
DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk! This game does not check if you bump into your surroundings. There is a lot of movement involved since this is a physical workout game, which bears the risk of injury. Always use common sense when performing the movements inside the game. If you feel that some exercises are too dangerous DO NOT PERFORM them. You acknowledge that this software is free and you are using it at your own risk

How to play\
If your system does not have hand tracking support you can strap the controllers to your wrists, for example with knuckle straps:

Here are other options to use controllers:

If you are just trying it out for the first time you can hold the controllers in your hands, just don't expect to be able to hit the hand cues during the pushups and probably avoid the burpees.
Once you are comfortable and want to move forward with a more serious workout either use VIVE Trackers with wrist straps or strap the controllers to your wrists in a safe manner.

VIVE wands are a bit trickier. One method that works quite well is to use a forearm guard usually used in archery and fixing the controller with Velcro to it. Those forearm guards are usually rather cheap (~$20) and are quite a good option to fix a VR controller to the forearm.
- Try to hit the hand cues to the beat of the music.
- The head cue has to be touched with your head. Just touch it, you don't need for headbutting
- Run in place to receive point multipliers!
- If you want to switch out an exercise during play double-tap the new exercise twice in the exercise selector to your right.
Upon starting you will see several different blocks. Touch one of them at the desired difficulty spot to select a level and difficulty. To disable exercises switch them on/off with the switches to your left.
Exiting a stage during play: On the top of the left blue pole is a sign to exit a stage.
Play with your own music in Freeplay mode* Put on some music in the background and hit the blue drum in the main menu to the beat of the music. Once the beat is set, select one of the freeplay modes to your right. They will send the cues according to the BPM you set but without playing any music.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
VRWorkout combines VR with fitness exercises, offering a free option for players seeking workout variety, though players note the concept is solid with engaging exercise mechanics and progress tracking. However, the game suffers from significant issues including poor menu navigation that requires excessive walking, inconsistent input detection, confusing hand movement synchronization, and low-quality visuals, along with apparent developer abandonment with no updates since release.
"VRWorkout" is a really terrible idea (so it failed, and the developers abandoned it three years ago). Barely a game, you put on a VR headset and then exercise, which will make the VR headset fall off. Genius. They thought nothing through here, and they certainly didn't consider how few gamers really want their VR headset to get sweaty and damaged. It's also impossible to workout properly with gear like that strapped to your face/holding controllers. Whoever made this clearly had no idea when it comes to physical fitness. And definitely no idea about gaming either. This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and it's clear the developers behind this didn't understand that. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming indus…2 found this helpful
the devs don't care for the game at all. hasent been updated since release. the menus are way fair away and you can point and click its all "you have to walk over" and hit it is so bad half of the time it dosnt detect a input. the workout is fun. devs need to update it bad1 found this helpful
[h1]Before I played VRWorkout, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]1 found this helpful
PROS: - Its free. FREE. You can't beat free. - I love the concept too. Total body workout instead of just arm/hand movement. CONS: - The hand movements synchronize in a way that matches up with the workout (for example hand movements with crunches or pushups). Its intentionally confusing and frustrating. - Instead of green and blue balls, make it simple and use L or R for right or left hand movement or show where the physical human hand is supposed to go. Perhaps when this is out of early access it will be better polish but I did not find it as enjoyable as my paid VR exercises.
Игра VRWorkout – это отличный способ совместить приятное с полезным. Если вы ищете способ разнообразить свои тренировки и сделать их более увлекательными, то это именно то, что вам нужно. Сочетание виртуальной реальности и физических упражнений дает потрясающий эффект. Графика, конечно, не самая передовая, но она функциональна и позволяет полностью погрузиться в процесс. Разнообразие упражнений позволяет подобрать программу под любой уровень подготовки, от новичка до продвинутого спортсмена. Особенно радует возможность отслеживать прогресс и вести статистику тренировок. Некоторые упражнения требуют привыкания, и иногда встречаются небольшие баги, но в целом игровой процесс очень захватывающий. После тренировки чувствуется приятная усталость, а не утомление, как после обычного похода в спортзал. Рекомендую VRWorkout всем, кто хочет оставаться в форме, не выходя из дома, и кому надоели стандартные тренировки. Это не просто игра, это настоящий фитнес-тренажер в виртуальной реальности.
This game is really good 100% recommended
