Getting started with HOLOFIT

Account & Payment

Fitness machines

  • All bikes, ellipticals, and rowers work with HOLOFIT.

    Rowing machines:
    1. All FTMS-Bluetooth enabled rowers should directly connect to HOLOFIT. Some of the rowing machines we have tested and know work with HOLOFIT include the Concept 2 PM5, WaterRower with the SmartRow add-on (SmartRow app needed), WaterRower with the ComModule add-on, Whipr Rowing, TechnoGym SkillRow, StairMaster HIIT Rower.
    2. All other rowing machines work perfectly with HOLOFIT in the non-Bluetooth rower mode, by tracking the back-and-forth motion of the headset while rowing. Follow these steps: HOLOFIT settings > HOLOFIT Setup > Fitness machine > Non-Bluetooth rower.
    Bikes & ellipticals:
    1. All FTMS-Bluetooth enabled bikes and ellipticals should directly connect to HOLOFIT.
    2. All other bikes and wheel-based ellipticals connect directly to HOLOFIT with the addition of a cadence sensor, that is usually attached to the pedal crank. Cadence sensors only work with bikes and ellipticals.
  • How to use my non-Bluetooth rower?
  • How to connect my cadence sensor or Bluetooth machine to HOLOFIT?

  • Yes! You can use HOLOFIT Freestyle for no-equipment bodyweight workouts only with your Meta Quest: running, rowing, cycling, skiing, and Combo Workouts. During your HOLOFIT setup, simply select Freestyle Controllers. Before each HOLOFIT workout, you’ll choose between running, rowing, cycling, and skiing.
    In the Train menu, you’ll find Combo Workouts which combine the above-mentioned sports with intermittent activities such as boxing, squats, and more. You’ll start in one sport, reach a platform where you’ll have to complete a series of tasks, and then continue in another Freestyle sport.
    Just be sure to take proper form, read more about that here.

  • The FiTness Machine Service protocol, better known as FTMS, is the latest Bluetooth standard used to control fitness equipment including ellipticals, training bikes, and rowing machines.

    NOTE: All unchanged, standardized FTMS Bluetooth machines should work with HOLOFIT. However, we can’t guarantee this as machine manufacturers often make some changes to the Bluetooth profile. If you’re not sure if your machine would work, please email support@holodia.com who will have more precise information.

    We recommend attaching a washable VR cover on your headset. You can wipe the cover after each use, and wash it in the machine every once in a while.
    You can find the cover that suits your headset at https://vrcover.com/, we always recommend using one of the foam VR covers for fitness. You can also find a large selection of replaceable VR covers on Amazon.
    If your headset gets wet, just dry it off with a soft cloth. Do not touch the lenses unless dirty, and only with a clean and dry cloth. Alternatively, wearing a thin headband under the headset helps absorb the sweat.

  • Yes! Customizable lens adapters are available for a variety of VR headsets at a reasonable price add-on. See this example for Oculus Quest.
    This would help solve the problem concerning shortsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Keep in mind that astigmatism could also somewhat be solved by adjusting the eye separation for which there is a small switch on the bottom right of the VR headset.
    However, as the most complete solution, we suggest getting optical lens adapters according to your detailed optical prescription.
