Box Feature Requests

A serious problem with both FitXR and other applications of this style of rhythm punching is that the left fist hits appear at the approximate height of the left shoulder, and the right fist hits are aligned at the height of the right shoulder. That is a problem, since in boxing you usually punch to the center, and that implies making a more accentuated movement with the hip to hit just in front, aligning the power from the foot, through the hip and shoulder to the fist. While it's true that during a real workout, the trainer may be moving the target to the side, but usually in shadow training you hit to the center (since you're imagining your opponent in front of you). I think the ideal would be to keep the app as it is, but that there is an option to enable/disable so that all hits are in the center, so we improve the technique, movement and reflexes when it comes to see the color to hit with. I do not know if I explain very well, but I think it is something that needs to be solved, there is no other app of this style that has corrected it, maybe you should be the first. I know of many people who prefer to get into boxing simulators just because of this problem, but if it were fixed, they would use more FitXR.

There are too many slow/boring parts in workouts. Please try to create a consistant "flow" with fewer interruptions.

A boxing workout that stimulate a boxing match. Real boxing combos followed by head movement, lunges and squats to stimulate avoiding a punch. I find these workouts are much more enjoyable than the beat saber like workouts that just have random and very fast sequences that would never be found in a boxing match.

Extending the system for recognizing different striking styles, and reward proper forms. It's possible with VR metrics to know if a punch is a backfist, a slap, a karate punch (front strike with opposite hand armed at the belt), hammer strike, double hammer strike, double front punch, elbow strike (by measuring hand orientation towards the face), etc. For traditional boxing, this would create more engagement for applying proper punches by giving more points with a more precise system. Such a detection system would also allow to fix the "choppers" issue. With such metrics you could even reward combination of styles, like one-two karate punches, right karate punch to left hammer strike, etc. Recognizing and rewarding the style would be incredible ! (quick video search mentionning a few of them : https://youtu.be/R9IaHXvzZ6k )

Have specific boxing classes for warming up and cooling down.

A lot of people can get much higher score by chopping instead of straight punching orbs. This makes any type of scoreboard useless and pointless if you can't compete against people exploiting the system.

Would it be possible to have some workouts that are heavy on the squats? A few of the longer workouts have sections for a couple of minutes where there’s a lot of squatting and it works the quads and glutes a bit but doesn’t last very long. What about some 5-15 min workouts that average 20 squats a minute over the course of the workout?

Every time I finish a workout, I have to again select Box/Intensity/Length. Would be nice if I could click an option so that it would default to same settings after I finish one workout and start another.

"All hyped up" is my favourite low body workout right now. Unfortunately its the only low body Box/Combat Expert class currently.

Since I don't use "explosive streak" or squats, I'm always in last place when I opt for community play. It's demotivating. I would love to play against those who have the same settings as I do.
