Punch Fit VR - A Quick Review
Last Updated: Sun Aug 11 2024
I have an Oculus Rift S. It was a gift from my younger brothers and I've loved using it for Flight Simming (mainly for things like War Thunder and MS Flight Sim). However the other day I saw a fitness game pop up on the Oculus store called Punch Fit. Now it's not really the kind of game I usually go for, I'm not a huge boxing fan, but at the time I was in the mood for something different, and I wanted to see if it was something I could use as someone who can't stand in the middle of a room and float like a butterfly.
Punch Fit is a boxing fitness game with 50 different boxing based workouts. They range from the basic 3 minute long intro workout to more intensive rapid fire sweat inducers.
So, seeing that it was that magical price of Free, I downloaded it and set about having a play.
All in all it's a tight little game. It's not a complicated premise and the game doesn't try and make it any more difficult than it has to be. Each workout is broken up in to sections, with each section focusing on a different area. One section might be about upper body combinations, while the next will be about learning how to dodge incoming shots.
The best news is that you absolutely don't need to be standing to play the game. There's no focus on footwork, and you can absolutely complete your routines while in a wheelchair.
One thing I'd like to see in a future iteration would be the ability to create your own workouts, or share workouts with others. Having a series of gentler workouts could definitely help with people with limited upper body strength.
