I started VR fitness at 60, and after three years, here is what actually changed.
VR Fitness After 3 Years
It has now been three years since I started VR fitness.
To be honest, when I first began, I wasn’t sure if I could continue.
I had never liked exercise, and I had given up many times in the past.
But somehow, I kept going.
And before I knew it, three years had passed.

What I Gained
Confidence
The biggest thing I gained is confidence.
I used to think, “I’m not good at exercise.”
But now I can say, “I can keep going.”
That change means a lot to me.
Health
I feel significantly healthier than before.
I no longer have knee pain, and going up and down stairs feels easy.
Even my shoulder stiffness has almost disappeared.
For someone in their 60s, this is a big improvement.
Connection
VR fitness also brought me new connections.
I met people online who enjoy the same games.
Some of them are even better than me, and they motivate me to keep improving.
I also joined communities of VR users over 50, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
My Favorite Apps
For me, rhythm games work the best.
- Beat Saber
- Synth Riders
- Audio Trip
These games make me forget that I am exercising.
Sometimes, when I hear music in daily life, I even imagine the game patterns!
My Progress
I am not a top player, but I have made steady progress.
Beat Saber

Most songs cleared on Expert
Synth Riders

Completed all Master levels
Audio Trip

Cleared all modes
Achieved 74% in Expert campaign mode
Even small improvements feel rewarding.
Looking Back
VR fitness is no longer just a game or exercise.
It has become a part of my life.
If someone had told me three years ago that I would still be exercising every day, I would not have believed it.
But here I am.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to be athletic to start VR fitness.
You just need to enjoy it.
And if you can enjoy it, you can continue.
Even after 60.
