"You see mom? That's why i need a Quest 2!"
also you're criminally underrated
hahaha love that! Hope you get your quest 2
@@thevrcoach question man, is the quest 2 gonna last if i buy new now? or just save for the 3?
I'd personally save for the quest 3. The batman game coming later this year is a quest 3 exclusive, and I expect more quest 3 exclusives to start rolling in.
@@thevrcoach thank you! im pretty new to the vr world. soon my brother will be getting a quest 2 since this is his first vr experience. im gonna try it and see how i feel about vr. if im confident im going to save up a little more to get the q3!
ngl thats the exact same reason why i told my father a vr is a good purchase lol (i got the money myself but my dad told me its a waste of money)
Mad respect for showing the journey over 400 days. It's rare to find someone on YT who is committed to showing long-term results amongst so many 1 week or month challenges. So glad YT showed me your channel Coach!
Thanks so much! Love your username
SHOELESS! hi
time to work out in rumble next 😎
never expected to see another rumble player here, especially not you
he should have played rumble then he would have been absolutely ripped
Bro I watched this like a viral video without even noticing the view count. Very nicely done! Great progress and keep on going!
Appreciate that mate!
literally same!
This isn’t going to age well… 😅
So
First of all...Mad Respect for your Journey! I personally find the title misleading, though. I was really interested in seeing what you achieved with purely VR-Workouts. But when you do 3 regular strenghts trainings and a boxing Session per week, most of your Progress, apart from better cardio, will be from that.
Dude this is crazy good. Im glad your working on yourself using video games. Nothing is impossible mate keep up the good work and dont let anything slow you down.
Thanks for the kind comment!
ive been playing vr for roughly 4 years and have done it almost if not every single day multiple times a day, I also train in MMA and go gym for weights and stuff on the days MMA isn't on. I remember when i first started training and when i played creed rise to glory for the first time I was wheezing after doing a couple rounds and I was very fat. I now play vr for a few hours a day and very much enjoy playing Creed vr still however I like the sparring mode where you can have however much time you want and choose how many breaks and have started to do 20-30 minute rounds without break to work on my head movement and defence which has made me into a beast at training as when I spar in real life my cardio is SO much better than everyone else and im just able to put constant pressure on them without even trying which is amazing, I've gotten VERY jacked especially in my back, arms and traps from playing vr so much. Ive had mates of mine try to get a similar physique and fitness to me by working out at the gym and doing very long workouts while I take it easy for the most part and its gotten to the point where people think im doing roids as it doesn't make sense to them, vr is the best tool I've ever had to practice, learn and get better for real fighting and I've gotten much more experience in sparring by doing it daily for long periods of time compared to everyone else at my gym so my skills are much higher than theirs now, I love it!
Hi! I love your comment that sounds exactly what I’m looking for. I have a question, because I never had a vr, is quest 2 valid for this mma/boxing training? And how is the game called or the games you recommend, are they free or you have to purchase most of them
@@rushtrapp1645 i use creed vr for basically all my actual vr boxing and its not free, its around 30 ish dollars however for a good training game that helps you improve especially for little space its the best choice. Use your real MMA or boxing gym and do your training there and then use vr to do the same technique and try new things out that way you get realistic shadow boxing and when you slip or dodge and attack with good timing you can see different openings on your opponent so after repatition you will insticually do that in the ring with ease like I have.
Bro, this video is very inspirational! Many people don't even start working out let alone keep it up for so long. I love how you actually spent a crazy amount of time testing out how VR helps out with fitness. I personally do a lot of Thrill of the Fight for some great cardio and it's motivated me to even go out and try some real boxing.
Thanks so much bro! You put a smile on my face with that comment. Hope you enjoy some irl boxing just as much as totf!
this is so cool, thanks. The results are amazing, very inspiring.
incredible video and progress man, glad for you :)
Thanks so much!
I do Thrill of the Fight all the time! for 4 years now, worked my way up to 12 round fights, saved my life! lol
12 rounds of totf is no joke! Congrats on your success
@@thevrcoach thanks I love it, I gotta wear a headband and get a good space for it, it’s intense, I do it on custom and opponent strength at 109! So they don’t get knocked out easily so it can last the full 12 rounds
I have bought my first VR headset Meta Quest 2 only 5 days ago, but I love it so much. As a matter of fact, my dad loves it too, he will be 50 next year, but the joy on his face when he plays VR is just priceless.. He loves boxing in VR, so I'm sending this video to him, so he can take some notes on other fun games! Thank your for this awesome video!
That's awesome! So cool you and your dad get to share some VR gaming together. Thanks for the comment
Yes! Great video! This get's me excited about motivating people to improve there health and fitness in fun ways that can stick! 10/10
Keep it up man!
Thanks mate! That's exactly it, sure it would have been better to do a strict diet with gym program but I know I would have struggled to stick to that
Thank you very much for sharing! You've got a new subscriber;)
thrill of the fight is such a great way to workout!!! 1000% reccomend it
Looking a lot stronger, well done, keep it up!
Thanks mate!
this is actually inspiring, I actually really want to try and do the same now i cant lie
Cheers mate! You got this
Nice job coach way to go, VR gaming and fitness is the future!
Thanks man! I agree with you there
Awesome job on the Vr workout.
Thanks!
I literally am skinny fat/have neck and back issues and bought a VR headset to workout AND game. But I feel so self conscious about using it in public, my living space is barely enough room and my gf consistently clowns me. It’s so inspirational to see someone making actual gains and progress with these apps, using it to better oneself and sharing the journey. First vid, new sub. Great work man, and I’m so proud you kept pushing to your goal.
I feel you on the neck and back issues. Keep working on it!
Don't worry about it too much, I record myself a lot in VR and normally I look way more goofy than this, especially when trying new games and apps.
HOLY SH__ MAN! THIS entire video was so well made, so fun to watch, so well edited and I'm guessing you put a lot of effort into this video and I really respect that ❤ I'm definitely going to subscribe and be excited for future videos cause wow- you have probably become one of the best 3 vr creators I know from one video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work and one question for u? The games u played looked super fun are u able to list some of them? Because that drumming/slamming thingy looks sick!
Thanks so much, hope I can deliver for you! The game where I'm drumming on the boat is called Ragnarock, a super fun rhythm game. Here are a few others
00:37 Broken Edge
00:50 Blade and Sorcery
01:08 Until You Fall
05:52 Thrill of the Fight
06:14 Assassins Creed
I recently made a video on my top 50 VR games of all times, all of those are mentioned plus plenty more czcams.com/video/Xq9nSWXW04M/video.html
@@thevrcoach thanks so much! definitely going to be buying these ❤
I loved this!!!
Great to highlight the benefits of VR Fitness!
I can’t wait to see how the VR fitness space progresses as this could be a HUGE tool in combating obesity in the future.
Great content as always man!
Thanks so much man!
Completely agree! It is such a powerful tool to Kickstart a healthy habit
bro i didnt notice the sub and the like count, i really thought you had atleast 700k if not a million subs. Keep up the good work!!
yea, same
Thanks bro! Made my day
Same
Watched this thinking it was a video with high view count and subs, great quality man! Subbed and liked due to the genuine content and not mass made click bait rubbish!
mate, thank you so much!
Great content dude! Keep it up! SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for this video ! Very inspiring. I was into Beat saber for a little under 2 years intensely and I overtrained to the point I noticed my scores slowly going down and my left shoulder hurting. Turns out I needed to rest and do something else instead of Beat Saber 2 hours / day. hahahah ! I'm going to follow you path, diversifying activities. And btw your 400 days look is solid AF.
Legendary video. Accurate review of the benefits and hopefully will show that VR can really gamify improving health!
Thanks for the kind comment!
Les Mills VR is the killer app for me, if I can get myself into the habit of doing the longer/ harder workouts I definitely notice the difference. Great video mate.
Great stuff! Les Mills slaps, I really like the longer workouts too, feels great when you complete one of the 20+mins workouts
Awesome job Coach!~
Cheers!
holy shit you deserve 1+ mill subs the video quality is insane
cheers mate!
What a great video. The comeback was nice after the injury, i still want to get more reguarly into my trainig sessions. Usually doing 1 jogging run with about 5-7km and a VRchat HIIT training workout with my usual Discord group which is fun and challenging at the same time.
I noticed that if the workout is in whatever sense fun to do (working out together in vr) keeps me more motivated and makes me more likely to do it!
So cool you found a community to work out with! Bonus points that it's in VR, keep it up!
Vrchat has workouts??
@@Norie92 There are groups for things like that and the discord group im in also hosts that kind of stuff
Wow the quality of your content does not make sense given your view count. Thanks so much for this! I tried to do some VR workouts but just never committed enough. Going to give it a stronger go because of this! Subscribed and liked!
Thanks so much and all the best for your VR workouts!
Thanks for this bro im showing parents why i should go on vr longer and how it benifits your health ... 😁
Man u got ripped good job. Love the vid btw
insane back muscles brother
Good job recording this info scientist.
This Is Awesome!
AWESOME video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Cheers Kaleah!
Well done.
Nice results bro!
Thanks bro!
Great video, What was the tennis game?
Thanks! It's called racket club
Nice one! I can recommend weighted gloves. I found some adidas ones on Amazon that fit nicely with my knuckle grips. I use them for Thrill of the fight, but also for The Climb 2 and Phantom Covert Ops.
Thanks for the tip! I can imagine VR climbing with weighted gloves would be an absolute killer shoulder workout
@@thevrcoach Yeah. It's like stretching with weights!
Great stuff! your physique has improved so much! If you are looking to put on more mass, try increasing your caloric intake. As a "hard gainer" myself, the only thing that worked to build me up was calculating my total daily energy expenditure and then adding about 500-1000 calories on top of that while continuing to train. after a month I had already seen an increase of mass!
Thanks for the tip and congrats on your results too! Nutrition and putting on a bit more weight is in the plans for this year
Awesome video!
Thanks so much! Means a lot!
Absolutely love this!!! I just broke both legs (freak accident...don't ask LOL) and this was so motivating!!
Ouch! Hope you are recovering well and wishing you all the best!
The cycle continues hits hard.
i love the runescape music haha
another underrated youtuber
I used to work out in VR mostly thrill of the fight, fit xr and body combat. I have 2 years of boxing exp so I was really into it dodging, rolling for 12 rounds every day. After half a year I stopped because I started feeling sharp pains and unease in my neck. Saw the reports from other people on YT that literally altered their life. Be careful!
VR workout is effective. I'm playing lots of racket sports games
Damn this is dope, i love thrill of the fight but since Ive changed apartments i dont have enough space to play the game like i used to. Ive been doing the pad training in Creed instead after a 10 min Hiit workout with a weight vest on. It’s been tough but today will be day 3 if i manage to do it after I get some sleep. I hope you keep going, I appreciate content like this
I agree, TOFT is so much better in a big play space! Glad you found a solution with Creed. Hope you got Day 3 done, if not come back and smash day 4!
@@thevrcoach yep i got through day 3 and have to do day 4 later today. If my i start seeing progress i hope you dont mind if i make a video journal similar to yours
Good video! 😊
Great Video!
Thanks!
how as a 2k channel do u have such great hardware? im talking about the green screen for vr, and the good microphone and camera. channel seems like it should do good in the future bro keep grinding!
I have somewhat started my own journey as well, albeit with a very "when-I-feel-like-it" schedule. The game I play the most is Dance Dash VR, similar to Dancerush or basically Guitar Hero with your feet. I add a weighted vest and it is definitely a extremely fun workout experience, but I do want to try out other VR games as a workout since I use full body tracking for Dance Dash, and it is just tedious to set up every time I would want to play it.
this is how you try out a training routine , its so stupid how there are an imense amount of videos on youtube like "i did this celebrity`s workout for 7 days, i didnt this other workout for 30 days " etc , like how are you gonna see a result in such a short time especially if you have been working out consistently for some time you wont get nay changes in 7-30 days , even a few months , and if you`re a beginner doing any kind of exercises will have results. Finally someone who actually put the time into it
underated channel
Duder, great video
Amazing mad commitment and your gains are real! I need to commit more like you :D , thats the reason i got a quest 2 two years ago. I too have a snapping elbow and shoulderblade nerves tingle/hurt because decades of poor posture at pc. Im still fat 105kg 183cm, was 130kg. But feels good to have some strength back. When i started i could do 0 chin ups few pushups. Atm i can do like 15-18 chin ups, 50-60 pushups. If i could shed more fat then the sky is the limit. Wish you the best and everyone else whos reading this aswell. VR gains are great! I mostly play beat saber tho, it made my forearms slightly bigger than my biceps xD
Mate those are amazing results! Hope your nerve issues aren't causing too much pain/trouble. It's a long road to fix posture and I've really just started
You worked out so hard the headset got a three pack!
Dope video
You inspired me to pick up my VR device. Ah yeah and also to workout a little
Go get it!
what was the Chinese boxing games was trying to make something along those lines and that a good case study
Nice content. Subscribed.
Legend! Thanks mate
Great progress! I would still stick to normal training though :)
Congrats man, i been procastinating doing the same for months. Im starting today fuck it
Go get it mate!
I thought this was going to be just VR but then you worked out irl too lol
I think 3 months in gym is much better than 400 days on VR workouts
Two things.
I'm currently at the middle point of the video, I'm back to my old ways and I'm stuck, so this video definitely motivated me.
And I see you started off with a Pico 4, and upgraded to a Quest 3, did you notice any big improvements? Is the upgrade worth it?
Glad to hear, you've totally got this!
For me, the upgrade was worth it. Mostly because I wanted to check out a few fitness games that have mixed reality support. The Quest is the best way to do that. If you mostly do PCVR then it's probably not worth the upgrade. Made a full video breaking down if its worth upgrading or not here - czcams.com/video/8F1a234fCQ4/video.html
@@thevrcoach I'll check it out, thanks!
It took you 400 days to get a hat. Now you have it, congrats
underrated
Literally sent this to the family to get VR (yes ill be using this for work out)
Awesome, hope you guys enjoy VR!
Dam bro u are underrated btw i think i could get a vr soon so i might try the boxing game as long as i dont hit the tv lmao
Insane chest genetics
This is a great video, instant like for Runescape, keep the quality content coming, Subbed!
@0:51 That is the most casual slaughtering I have ever seen.
This inspires me to buy a VR headset my bro... my values are maximum below five for all XD
VR sport. 💪🏻
good job
English subtitles gone wild at 7:26 :D Jokes aside, great video!
ive not found a better form of cardio than thrill of the fight
Yo! It's Brother Dorkins from RDR2. Subbed.
3 months ago i decided to bring myself to a shape. Using VR as a cardio 2 times a week, playing Thrill of the fight and Underdogs. Also started doing street workout. Progressed from 1 pull-up to 9. My pulse in rest went from 80 to 70. My weight was 89kg, now its 88, but i built a lot of muscle so look much less fat now. 32 y.o. Probably will try some yoga after this vid.
Fantastic results mate! Underdogs is so much fun. Yoga is a great addition. For me this was the slowest to progress in, but well worth it for injury prevention.
это реально работает, самому очень нравился бокс и было довольно трудно в боях и одновременно с этим интересно и затягивало намного сильнее чем обычная зарядка. продал шлем тк покупался изначально для других целей и вот щас думаю снова приобрести чисто изза подвижных игр
good vid!
cheers!
ROCK AND STONE!
About half a year ago i did vr workouts for about 4 months straight. I weighed 84kg at the beginning, and about 68,69kg at the end. I was losing on average 1kg of fat per week. Personally i wouldnt recommended going as tough as i did, spending 3+ hours on high activity games per day isnt the best on your body, but i still do recommend vr for a fun way to not even realise your burning plenty of calories. Even now, ill hope on every now and then and burn about 400-450 calories per hour
Have you tried Synth Riders? Amazing rhythm game!
Yep it slaps! But I slightly prefer audio trip more
I’ve been playing beat saber for over 4 years, and now my friends are saying that I have crazy forearms 😭 it kinda motivates me to workout for real
VR is for slow twich Vo2 max endurance and zone2 fat loss not overloading knee joints.
The other half of this story is diet (hypocaloric keto/carnivore omad)
This is what i have been doing and i am very happy with me, also there is some hormonal magic in doing things this way.
2:15 ROCK AND STONE!
3 sets of horsing around pls 😋😋😋😋

Bro, that is a amazing journey. Yeah, unfortunately idea of fitness has been warped into a ego race with the internet. Just do you best, gain your bearing. And improve. You don't need to be able to lift a 100kg. Just having the benefits of the additional energy. Feeling better all the time. Controlling your sleep better. These are the real important things about exercise. Glad you go to experience those and share them with us.
You're so right and I'm glad you share the same ideas. Thanks for the thoughtful comment!
Love it. Myself gone 1200 hours 2023 Dancing in vr and 2 hours every day 2024 :D FBT + sexy avatar + mirror i was sold. But not like you games , pure dancing but same tech ^^ I havent played another game then VRchat since 2022 dec. :D And yes I could do 20 push ups when I started, now I do 55 push ups every 2nd day + other karate moves on the dance floor inside VR :D Agai nthanks for sharing. Physical activity + gaming = true
Could you please tell me what games you used for this wonderful journey
Les Mills Body combat, Thrill of the fight, Until you fall, pistol whip, X-fighter, Creed, Racket Club, FitXR, Broken Edge. I have lists on them for each genre on my Channel
Sports Games - czcams.com/video/vINWuJw16Zw/video.html
Fitness Games - czcams.com/video/-RZjxJZzXAM/video.html
Boxing Games - czcams.com/video/iLOWlOQrixo/video.html
heya, could I ask how you recorded yourself wirelessly playing games on the Quest 3?
Thats all done using wireless PCVR and a software called LIV. It sort of injects you into the game, I have a guide on how to do it here - czcams.com/video/KQk4iP-a5sc/video.html
he either used airlink or steam link
thanks!
I find it hard to exercise in VR, I'm always sweating like crazy and my face doesn't like the mask pressure 😀it's so much easier and joyful to just do regular workouts. I like your experiment, good luck on your journey! 💪
Thanks! Yeah sweating into a headset is the worst part by far
But how to deal with Soreness? How can you workout in VR multiple days in a row? 3 Days ago, i played Thrill of the Fight for like 1 hour, and i still feel sore, any tips?
An hour of totf is a serious workout, so it makes sense you would be sore.
1) Build up gradually
2) alternate games focusing on different body parts. Right now your arms shoulders and back are probably fried but you could go for a lower body vr game with something like pistol whip or blaston and focus more on squats
What games did you play? Just got a headset and I’m looking for tips.
Les Mills Body combat, Thrill of the fight, Until you fall, pistol whip. My tip try a few different genres and go with the one you like the most
@@thevrcoach thank you so much! I’ll try them out!
short question: do you play pcvr all the time?
i mean is your wifi that good to handle wireless pcvr? mine is crashing from 2 wifi cameras 😭
Yep, It works well with virtual desktop. I was trying to use steamlink but I got crashes using that.
