I also recommend trying Supernatural on Quest 2. It’s a well-polished app deliberately designed to give you a good workout. I have done it once a week for 6 months and have had a good experience.
I wear a 30lb weight vest when doing these workouts to make them more effective.
Personally I listen to podcasts or audiobooks while I workout to make it interesting, in addition to hearing the music from the game and the occasional comments from the recorded instructor.
Man I really want to like Supernatural, but I have trouble putting up with the “coaches” that keep talking at me, and the songs generally feel less fun than Beatsaber.
I do quite like it’s polish, and the fact that it strings songs together in a way that puts you in the mindset of “complete a reasonable workout”. I did end up sweating more often when playing Supernatural than Beatsaber.
Do you happen to know of a way to get a podcast (or YouTube or something) playing audio in the Quest while doing other activities? I’d love to listen to podcasts while playing VR mini-golf, but right now I’d have to play the podcast out loud on a secondary computer (and I live in a house with a lot of people, so that isn’t very practical)
There’s actually trick/bug to get the Oculus browser to play in the background.
Using the Quest Browser, open Open Spotify Web Player and start a song or podcast. Then connect to the Spotify web client from Spotify on another device, then launch the Quest game, then play the song on that other device.
This worked as of a few months ago—I haven’t tested it in .38 or whatever the latest version is.
I don’t know about that. Personally I wear Aeropex-brand Bluetooth headphones, which is how I’m already listening to podcasts from my phone all day, and then I just put the Quest headset on over them and it feels fine.

Thanks so much; I would never have found that one out myself lol
