Woodway is excited to announce a new partnership with Octonic, a NYC-based VR fitness company, on the release of Kinneta, a virtual reality fitness app that allows users to exercise one-on-one with top fitness instructors in breathtaking sites worldwide, where they can teleport in an instant. From high-altitude mountain tops to beachside areas, users will be able to escape their immediate surroundings to work out in a variety of faraway places. Alternatively, they can bring the instructors to their homes as virtual ultra-realistic holograms for a private class.
The app is the culmination of 3 years of collaboration between Woodway and Octonic. After ideation, development, and rigorous testing, Kinneta will be ready for release for the Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S this holiday season. If you don’t have a headset yet, you will be able to get a fitness ready tailored VR headset from our partners at Kinneta. After downloading the app, users can easily and wirelessly connect their headsets with their treadmills in seconds. Kinneta’s underlying technology allows for seamless connectivity between headsets and treadmills, where the VR movement precisely replicates the movement on the fitness machine. In addition, in the near future the same instructor-led classes will be available in 2D for use on Woodway’s console screens.
"At Woodway, innovation and cutting-edge technology are at the core of our mission," stated Eric Weber, Director of Sales and Marketing at Woodway. "We recognize that individuals pursue fitness and physical health through diverse modalities. Our aim is to provide the essential tools that enable this pursuit, rather than prescribing specific methodologies. The partnership with Kinneta aligns perfectly with this vision, offering yet another powerful tool to end-users and operators. We are excited about the growth potential this collaboration presents and look forward to expanding our partnership with Kinneta."
“We at Kinneta are incredibly excited to partner with Woodway and finally bring Kinneta to market. This has been a passion project for several years and we cannot wait to show what we’ve created to Woodway users worldwide. It’s been a pleasure to work all these years testing and polishing the product with the Woodway team and we are looking forward to continuing the fitness revolution together,” said Ilya Polokhin, CEO and Co-founder of Kinneta.
