10 Best Meta Quest 2 Fitness Games to Exercise and Workout 2024
Is VR Meta Quest 2 weight loss a thing?Β YES!
Letβs get to the Best Meta Quest 2 Fitness Games to Exercise and Workout in 2024.
The great thing about Meta Quest 2, and VR in general, is that almost every game you play requires you to move your arms, hands, and feet. So pretty much ANY game you play in VR will cause you to burn more calories than traditional video games or watching TV. Some Meta fitness games are better than others and not all VR exercise games are created equal.
Weβve reviewed many Quest 2 Exercise Games so you can save time and money and keep up with your fitness goals.

Scoring Criteria For VR Meta Quest 2 Fitness Games
As we reviewed these games we focused on a few key differences between them.Β If they had all the parts, they got a higher score, if they were missing some, that gameβs score was decreased.
You can go through the criteria and decide which things are more important for your workout. You might not care about things like multiplayer or amount of songs for example. Of course, whichever games get you up and moving are the best VR Fitness Games for you, so you may have to try a few different types out to see what you like.
Does it feel like you are working out or a game?
Depending on your level of fitness this may be a stronger point for you or a weaker one. We wrote this article from the countless people we see online saying that they played Beat Saber for the first time and were super surprised to see sweat while playing βa gameβ.
If you are looking for the hardest workout, Weβve included the numbers so you can focus on those games. If you are looking for a fun game that can ALSO get you sweating, we gave it more points in this review. A game and βfun-likeβ are more likely to make you stick with the workout in our opinion.
How many classes or songs or levels are included?
Working out to the same 5 songs every day is not going to cut it for most people. The more songs or classes, the higher the ranking we gave. DLC is an option? OK, but the more content that is included in the base game we gave the higher score. If there are no classes or songs, how many levels or skill levels are there to play?
Does the game have the ability to have custom songs?
Can you add custom songs to the game? How hard is it to do so? Although most of these games use royalty-free music that you probably donβt know, some are quite catchy! But nothing is going to get your heart pumping like your favorite workout song.Β More points for custom songs are allowed.
Does the game have Multiplayer or Party mode?
Although working out solo is fine and fun, being able to invite your Oculus Quest 2 online friends, (or random strangers) or playing against other people in your household with a back-and-forth βparty modeβ is a great way to keep motivated in your fitness journey.
Other Game issues, or technical problems
There were final points taken away for other issues or problems that may have come up.

Other Issues β N/A
Beat Saber is the most popular VR game for a reason. Lots of included songs and fun gameplay. Many feel they need to βget a better workoutβ from something besides Beat Saber, but it actually ranks pretty high on the calories list, less so on squats. Itβs too bad it requires modding to play custom songs and thatβs why on MY list, itβs a number 2.
