Alo Moves, one of your favorite workout apps for yoga and Pilates, comes to VR with Meta Quest 3. Priced at $69 per year, Alo Moves XR is set to be the first wellness app with volumetric 3D capture on the platform. A class that allows for even more immersion.
The app uses volumetric 3D technology to capture lessons from all angles, allowing users to interact with the 3D instructor, change the instructor’s position, and view any angle with a full 360-degree perspective. ” and can assist with perfect form and movement technique,” the company writes. At the same time, you can choose from a variety of beautiful locations, including Spain, Norway, and Thailand. On a more practical note, the app uses room mapping and object detection in your own physical space to make sure you don’t run into anything.
Aro’s movement
Alo Moves XR launches with 32 classes across yoga, Pilates and mindfulness from popular instructors such as yoga teacher Ashley Galvin and Pilates specialist Bianca Wise. The app promises a structured release schedule, with four to five new mixed reality yoga and Pilates classes added every month, and weekly meditation and sound bath sessions. It also provides class history tracking, post-class feedback, milestone badges, and more.
Later this year, Alo Moves will bring in new instructors and expand its offerings to include 20+ minute yoga sessions, quick toning/sculpting classes, yoga basics, evening reset stretches, and breathwork.
The company promises an experience that is “as close to in-person as possible,” according to a press release. This seems like a smart way to use virtual reality (or augmented reality, as Meta prefers it), especially since it allows you to learn the instructor’s techniques from all angles. That would make it better than other metafitness apps like Oh Shape and Les Mills Bodycombat.
Alo Moves XR costs $10 per month or $69 per year, but buyers of the Alo Moves x Meta Quest bundle can get it for $49 per year. If you already have an Alo Moves subscription, you can add Alo Moves XR for $20 per year.
