Supernatural's head of fitness on rebooting the VR exercise app after leaving Meta
We chatted with Supernatural's Head of Fitness about the company's plans for its VR exercise app.
Supernatural, the VR exercise platform, is set to relaunch as an independent company after Meta reduced its staff and halted new content in January. Head of Fitness Leanne Pedante, a founding coach, is optimistic about the future. The company will restore its extensive library of over 3,000 workouts, original coaches, and beautiful environments.
New content is also in the pipeline. Despite a price increase to $20 a month or $200 a year, many existing users remain supportive. Supernatural currently has a small, flat organization, allowing for swift responses to user feedback. To assist financially struggling members, they've introduced a scholarship program. While VR is central to Supernatural, the company is exploring expanding workouts to devices like the Nex Playground, which projects digital objects onto a TV, making workouts accessible without the need for a headset.
