Is the Meta Quest 3S worth it for fitness games?

Yes — the Meta Quest 3S is usually worth it for fitness games if your goal is the cheapest good standalone headset for apps like Supernatural, Les Mills XR Bodycombat, Beat Saber, FitXR, boxing, and rhythm workouts.

Typical new pricing:

• Meta Quest 3S: about $300–$400 depending on storage and bundle
• Meta Quest 3: about $430–$550 depending on storage and bundle

For fitness-only use, the Quest 3S is the better value when it’s at least $100 cheaper than the Quest 3. Spend more on the Quest 3 if you want sharper lenses, better readability, and a more comfortable all-around headset for longer sessions.

One caveat: prices change a lot with promotions and bundles, so check sold/completed listings or current retail pricing before buying.

You should also budget for a better head strap and a sweat-friendly facial interface if you plan to work out regularly; the stock setup is often the weak point for exercise use.
