I feel like people who have been going to the gym for ages, and do hard-core workouts like its nothing, don't appreciate how revolutionary this game is in that its getting people in shape who never would have gotten into intense cardio otherwise. So many reviews seem to not only overlook that but look down on these people.

[@psisteak4122]

Exactly. Shame.

[@TheKenechikeluba]

I disagree with this app not being good enough for a full on workout, I am 6ft 5inches, 368lbs, when I start supernatural Dec 2021 I got really sore afterwards and I got a good sweat from it each time, fast forward to today June 2 2022 six months later, I am down to 307lbs… 61pounds lost from using supernatural as my exercise instructor, I don’t do anything else but good eating habits. Gym Buffs may not like it and that’s understandable.. however selected few with serious goals to accomplish on their weight loss journey will get more use and enjoyment out of supernatural because it’s enjoyable, in all sections, I do however agree that the boxing does need better instructions for those of us that has no real form to boxing techniques. In all I love the app.

[@jesseilers3464]

Love this review.

[@ravenstarheels]

I go to the gym and I like it.

[@fahqgaming239]

@@ravenstarheels cool story bro. do you know how many judgemental people are at the gym and how hard it is for beginners to go? this app is perfect for those people who don't want to be made fun of or dont know how to get into working out.

[@ravenstarheels]

@@fahqgaming239 I use it. It is a great app. Any exercise is better than none at all.

[@blondiex3308]

​@@fahqgaming239or have other issues. I don't want to go to the gym cause I don't want to be sexually harassed by thirsty dudes. My mom doesn't want to go because she's embarrassed. My bf doesn't want to go because it's a "hassle" Then you have people with agoraphobia, ptsd, ocd, or just disabled in a wheelchair and this is such a better option, especially when you don't have much space for equipment in your home.

[@FranktheDachshund]

If you are like me, a middle age fat slob who hates exercise, Supernatural has gotten me addicted to using it. I started with Beat Saber which I loved, and quickly stepped up to SN, which offers a superior workout. Nothing else has done that for me. Now if I was a triathlete gunning for Ironman, maybe this isn't the best way to go.

[@typeorulz]

Well done! Very inspiring 💯

[@elbowsout6301]

1 year later are you still a "fat slob" have you stuck with it?

[@takethat863]

Facts I'm a 43 yr old man and just downloaded supernatural on my meta quest 2 best thing I ever did I absolutely love the boxing I and your getting a great workout

[@fixedguitar47]

Supernatural is excellent for people that work from home and require structure. It’s a specific type of person who will really benefit from it, but for that specific demographic it’s absolutely fantastic.

[@dosedaily1732]

Interesting point of view, but I disagree with you and don't think that you're being honest here. Supernatural saved me. It is actually the single workout platform on earth 🌎 that makes me go back for more. It's fun, and you definitely get your workout in if you choose the high intensity workouts 💪 especially boxing with Coach leana and Mindy. "Pros only."

[@nilay0734]

48 years old women loved it !

[@anim8or]

If you get the companion app, it is pretty easy to find people in the supernatural community to add to your leaderboard.

[@michaelsanchez8519]

As a busy guy, I can see this benefitting me on hectic days. A quick, active workout to maintain. I can also see this being a great motivator for my girlfriend and our kids. Sure it could use improvements, but this is pretty amazing.

[@cathiehealey4608]

Supernatural is clearly not the workout choice for you....and that's fine. Thank goodness for choice, so we can all find what we need. But I don't know that you portrayed it objectively either. I look at this from a completely different perspective than you. I chose Supernatural because they're not like every other rhythm game, filled with leaderboards from folks I don't know and will never keep up with (I mean, really, don't we have enough of those already?!?!). The SN leaderboard is populated with only the folks I add, so I get to control who is on my Leaderboard....I love this. Most of us reach out in the Community to find folks who are close to us in weekly points. It makes it a way to encourage and chase each other instead of it just being a HUGE competition that I'm going to be 138,987th in The scoring is also set to be relative to where you are physically. The power score in Flow, (and speed in boxing) is a percentage of the number of targets that you hit at a specific velocity...that velocity is taken from your performance in your last 20 workouts. So, it's about rewarding proper form (vs flicking your wrists to increase your score like rhythm games) and consistency.....because this isn't a game, it's a fun workout. So, it's not about killing it one day to bump your score, and going through the motions the rest of the time...It's about being consistent in your approach. Because it's not about beating the game...it's about working out. The other aspect you didn't cover is the adaptability of Supernatural. You can (and should) calibrate it before you work out, using their Calibration tool. This lets Supernatural know how tall you are, but it also lets you set the depth of the lunges and squats your comfortable with. So, if you're a fitness professional that has been teaching classes for 15 years, set them super low to challenge yourself, or are you a 65 year old man who had knee surgery 6 months ago? Well you can set the lunges and squats so that you don't lower yourself at all. Squats you just stand tall and lunges you only move laterally. Did you start your fitness journey 8 months ago and have going strong? You can go in to your calibration and make your squats more challenging than they were the month before. You can also modify Supernatural to only have targets come at you from one direction. This allows those with movement limitations to workout while they are seated. I also noticed that you didn't mention the community at all, in spite of it being a huge part of Supernatural. The Community supports, encourages and celebrates together, and the 5 coaches are super a super active part of this. The Community also runs quarterly challenges, where folks form teams and compete with each other, there are also workout parties organized via the community. As for how content is released, this is the schedule: Everyday new workouts are posted... Mon-Sat new flow workouts, continuous pattern of Medium ,High ,Low ,Medium ,High, Low Mon-Tue-Wed new boxing, in order (Low, Medium, High) Fri new 'Moments' (these are just the locations with peaceful music for folks looking to do their own meditation, vs the guided meditations offered as well) Sat new stretch or meditation, alternating between them each week Sun 3 'Quick Hit' workouts (quick workouts with just 2 songs), 1 for each level of intensity There are currently 800+ workouts and obviously from the above schedule, that number continues to grow daily. Flow workouts range in time from 9 minutes to 50+ minutes for the "Super Monsters." Also, with the boxing...did you do the Tutorials for Boxing? In the Getting Started and Boxing Basics, they break down boxing form in a lot of detail. I've never boxed before, and feel that they taught me pretty effectively. They also review various aspects of boxing form during each boxing warmup.

[@aoefeable]

Thanks for this, I’m loving Supernatural and feel like my fitness level is improving, but I wasn’t aware of a lot of what you shared and happy to know it now. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

[@jeannettefiveash1839]

Cathie nailed it with her response. I think you can get as much out of SN as you put into it. I'm so addicted!

[@emegarry1]

I agree 100% with Cathie's response. SN may not be for the 'professional workout athlete" but is pretty awesome for most of us mere mortals. And there is so much adaptation available, the community support is amazing, and the scenery is breathtaking. There is so much left out of this video review. It has gotten me motivated, off my butt, and now thinking much more about my fitness. They give you a free week, and anyone who is a subscriber can give out a free month so you can try it for yourself to see if it is worth your 20 bucks a month. I am in my second week and am ready to pay for the year. I have never been so eager to get into a 'workout' before. And am hitting 170+ on my heart rate for the majority of the high intensity ones. I have never had anything turn a workout into something that is so much fun, and is so addicting.

[@BeccaB529]

Thanks for taking the time to write this out. I am considering getting a Meta Quest just to get Supernatural, but it is a large investment for me. Your comment is making me lean toward it. If you happen to see this, could you tell me if you still like it now, 2 years later?

[@michelepenning302]

I love it and it really motivates me to exercise. I find it an extensive work out. I am having a blast and I am dripping I sweat when I am working out. I think it is definitely worth the money. I do like your suggestions and I hope they continue to add to their already fantastic exercise program.

[@scottleggejr]

Add ankle weights and your arms 😮 sore for days! 😂

[@Bunnyingrass]

to me, it is competitive enough! SN flows and boxing is my fav, although I also use meditation section quite a lot!

[@yuripalover]

I agree that they have to add rankings and make it more competitive and I did not find any stretching prior to the workout. Unless I missed it. However, it has been an effective workout for me.

[@jdonnelly1977]

I'm so glad you differentiated this from Beat Saber. Beat Saber favors wrist flicking whereas Supernatural doesn't. You need to swinging from your shoulders and core is the whole point to their flow workouts.

[@graemetimmins]

They just announced they are adding 6 new boxing workouts a week (daily except Sunday).

[@dewbluezero]

Thank you for a beautifully done and informative video! 🙌🏅

[@bigdug13]

Glad I saw this. I wanted to give this game a try and maybe I'll do the 7 day trial with monthly commitment because they make it sound like you're locked in for the first payment no matter when you cancel (they word it as "cancel anytime to avoid future charges" which makes it sound like that first charge is happening no matter what). Doesn't sound like there's enough content to justify the huge initial payment of $190 but maybe some trial at $19 for a month. For Beat Saber, I agree that the game's included tracks push for a lot of wrist flicks and limited motion. I feel like the custom songs people have charted that you can download do a much better job of forcing from-the-shoulder movements as they often have much higher boxes to hit and require more motion.

[@goodwincek]

absolutely on the 2nd paragraph. Modded Beat Saber can be an incredible workout from all of the creative mapping done in the community. Wrist flicks are still there, but it's more of a secondary technique used in Expert++ for speed on TOP of body/core/shoulder movement

[@shelleydeleon1884]

I'm a hardcore fitness Instructor and love the variety in my workout program

[@nsbd90now]

Oldster been using it for a while, and on the high levels. I love it mostly because of the licensed music which I really need to do any kind of cardio thing for any length of time. That makes it worth the price for me. I like different genres so I find it VERY cool to move to symphonic stuff as well as dub step even though I'm mostly rock. Wish there was more prog-rock. I also like the coaches who I think are fun, upbeat and I like being called Athlete, Champion, and Rock Star. lol! Some people I know turn that off. They really need to update visuals and add in other exercises besides the flow and boxing. Leg lifts have been a good addition, but need more of that.

[@betteru2997]

For transparency Beatsaber has the free music-mapping AI engine Beat Sage for custom songs/levels and infinite replayability. These levels are not designed or voiced by fitness coaches, but are challenging and come in different flavors--free single saber, 90 deg, standard 0 deg, no arrows, and $25/month patreon for 360 deg levels. All levels go from Novice to Expert+, and there's mirror mode in native Beat Saber. I expend the full quest 2 battery and the extended battery without getting bored, burning 1200 calories when setting my weight 125 lb and height to 5.7ft every session thanks to Beat Sage levels.

[@brittany3247]

My boyfriend got me the quest 2 I’m so excited looking forward to playing it I wanted it so bad

[@user-kx7wo6qc7d]

I have a question. When u pay the package of 100 $ for all the items, do you need to pay an extra to have access to the videos, the meditations and the games?

[@francescaercolanese6544]

@@ConnectTheWatts you can you hands only in the boxing. There are new videos in flow and boxing released daily. There are TONS of practices for meditation. Guest coaches. Maybe they watched your video, idk.

[@Willehy]

[@stevelawson7051]

Your not wearing the hand set on your hand right the hand go through the other way or it can become loose

[@naneakaauwai6395]

I totally agree with this man.

[@pan_cimrman]

I like the fact they don't have all the game tchotchkes that other apps on VR do. Maybe Supernatural, esp. since they are promoting meditation, doesn't want the gamification that exists to elicit dopamine addiction. And now the price is $10/mo on a monthly subscription, a very fair price. I'm about two week into it and so far, it's great.

[@kevrob53]

You should try thrill of the fight on vr. It is the most realistic fighting simulation out there. It’s a great workout that you will definitely feel.

[@ConnectTheWatts]

Thanks for the recommendation… I’ll definitely try checking it in the future! Hoping to cover a new fitness app every 2 weeks or so 👍

[@immersiveexperiences4799]

Thrill of the Fight is fun!

[@aerodylluk2543]

The difficulty will ramp up the older the game gets. Beat Saber was SOO easy when it came out versus where it is at now. Extreme difficulty on the earlier songs is akin to easy on the later ones.

[@rob26b]

Hello, what is the name of the game at 0:47 seconds? Thank you for the video.

[@securityguruguy]

Leaderboard now lets you follow others in the app and now you can absolutely compete on score. 2 years later there are a bunch more workouts for all categories. Still no hand tracking unfortunately.

[@Subhidevi]

I'm 61 and pretty out of shape. I asked, and my 4 adult kids got me Quest 2/Occulus for Mother's Day! I've been trying to get my body used to the activity slowly on Beat Saber, but it is so much fun, I've been killing myself! I'm very competitive. I try to give myself enough recovery time, too, but then I have so much fun again the next time, I inevitably play too long again. Over been talking tons of ibuprofen. 😭😉 I can't wait to try Supernatural. I feel like I've been having as much fun as I did as a teenager and kid.❤️ it's amazing. Thanks for everyone's comments about this game, so good to know.

[@Patti.K]

I'm not a jogger and walking didn't do much for me. This has me moving and sweating. Its fun and I'm burning something at least. I do like the same workout for now only because I'm a beginner.

[@HZGamingVR]

Use 3 lbs Weighted Wrist Bands for the Boxing :D

[@1kulik]

Also its not available for Europe

[@OneDrinkThreeBars]

I love this game - but yeah, I feel like I have to do other workouts with weights to get a full workout. I wish they would come out with a game that has weights as the controller or something. They could go ahead and take my money! Some of the "pros only" metal songs got my heart rate up almost as high as running does, but not for as long of a time.

[@JusticeForJTKnotts]

I got a pair of weighted gloves I got with beach body turbo jam, kickboxing etc but they fit Perfectly. They’re light weight perfect for women that don’t want bulky they want toned. Try them on if you have them. I got the whole set when turbo jam came out so they just came with the box. You could probably order the weighted gloves on beach body

[@OneDrinkThreeBars]

@@JusticeForJTKnotts That's a great idea. I don't have them, but I will look for some!

[@cleardarkness888]

You could also add ankle or wrist weights, or both.

[@-Elista-]

I know this is an old video but they changed the price to $10 a month. I’ve been doing this over 1 month now and I’ve been enjoying it so far. I been doing 1 hour for 4-5 days a week. It’s definitely great for beginners for me and my favorite is the boxing feature. I have experience with boxing since I did 9 round gym last year but couldn’t keep that going since it was too expensive for me but doing Supernatural is in my budget so it works out. Plus I can do it at home. Lost 9 pounds so far and want to keep going :)

[@cyranodaburgerack8745]

It's funny because I'm the opposite. I absolutely do not care about scores and leaderboards, and on top of that it annoys me that you can't completely turn off the coaches. I want it to be just me, the music and the workout. Bur I've learned the reason why I can't do that, it's because licensing music is cheaper when you have someone talling over it.

[@futbol1972]

Will this be good for hs students in an after school program?? Kids dont like to workout but if is fun the they will do it

[@typeorulz]

Interesting idea! It would expose them to VR in a positive way. It's in their future one way or the other. Maybe the company would give a discount or assistance for such a community endeavor.

[@kelf1111]

Sorry, but when you’re telling everyone that it’s not a great system, of course none of your friends will sign up so you can challenge yourself more? Lol. And you’re reviewing this as an experienced person in fitness. I’m a beginner and have never been motivated to exercise. This is perfect for me as I feel like my brain is being tricked into thinking it’s just so much fun, yet I’m actually getting a workout. I’m 50. I don’t want to exercise like you. Please try and review for a broader audience than just for people like yourself.

[@ConnectTheWatts]

Thanks for the feedback Kelly, but to be fair I said I felt the program was great… just incomplete compared to many other fitness apps that have a subscription model. I also discuss in the video that I think supernatural is a great option for beginners to fitness who are looking for something fun to get started and stay motivated, so not sure what else you were looking for. Either way, thanks for watching, and I appreciate your input 👍

The game looks pretty slick. Too bad you don't get as good of a workout from it. Maybe they'll come up with resistance bands you can step on to add some resistance to counter your movements

[@babydoll629]

Even though I like this app, I can't use it because I'm afraid of heights. I get really nervous during the workouts because I feel like I'm floating high in the sky even though I am not. The view of the volcano bothers me the most. I always snatch the headset off my head when I see it. I get extremely nervous. As you know, you feel like you are in the places in the apps. Are there any workouts in Supernatural where it looks like you are on the ground and/or not looking down a very high mountain?

Wish you covered more indepth things like real cost options, game time lag if any, coaches-like can I mute them if they are stupid and do they keep saying the same things every time I do the game?, set up easy or not, customer support issues, you mention the music I think at least twice- what type or kind of music and do I have a choice what I listen to?, can I mute it? I would suggest anyone thinking about buying this system look at customer reviews not posted by supernatural, they are not good but at least give real world more indepth reasons why. Your review D+.

[@nsbd90now]

You can mute the coaches. It is licensed, popular music, hits, and in a huge range of genres... even entire Beethoven symphonies as well as people such as Taylor Swift, Lincoln Park, Imagine Dragons, Li'l Wayne, classic rock, heavy metal, etc. That's where the subscription cost really comes in probably. However, you can't set up your own playlists. Each workout session has it's own set playlist. There are filter options in terms of genre and I think even artist.

[@cynthialsh]

Supernatural is the ONLY reason I kept my meta quest 3...even just looking at the 360 splendid view, it's already healing and rewarding. Each action is with instant react and feedback and unpredictable changes, vs. in the gym kick boxing is really boring and predictable -- kicking to the air or the sandbag... Never felt boring and easy to stick to the daily workout esp. when it's colder outside or too crowded in the gym.

[@coolcat8b]

You are reviewing Supernatural from your perspective, as an already fit male looking for medium to intense sessions. You are forgetting that THE MAJORITY of people looking for a workout are not as fit as you, nor looking for something so intense. As an arthritis sufferer, I was looking for something that would 1) not hurt my joints; 2) make me move enough to provide some health benefits; 3) I could do in the comfort of my home (I hate public gyms); and 4) offer some variety (same old YT videos get old real quick). Since I am not rich enough to have my own gym and private coach, Supernatural is a great alternative. It crosses all my requirements and makes me look forward to my next session. It is a bit expensive yes, but way less than a private coach in a gym. If you are going to provide reviews, please remember to offer them from different perspectives, not only your own.

[@shannonlee6178]

I agree with you. If you are new to working out this is a fun way to get yourself moving. If your someone who is used to working out on a regular basis this is not really what I would call a true workout. I use it as a supplement when I don’t feel like running. The cost is painful for what it is but I have decided to keep it since it is so much fun! I can be on this for 1-2 hours and the time passes by very fast because its so much fun. I do wish they would add more “gamefication” as you say. Also having the leaderboard on public or at least having that option would be nice as I do not have any friends on supernatural yet either. I also agree with the boxing. I too have punched myself numerous times.
