Litesport 2022 Year in Review: Most-Played Workouts, Top of the Leaderboard, & More
What a year it’s been! As a community across 2022, we’ve done everything from launching challenges to new products. And while it’s impossible to highlight it all, we’re certainly going to try…
In 2022, we joined the metaverse and launched two new VR workouts (Mitt Drills and Total Body). We also hosted our first-ever Annual Throwdown and Summer Fitness Challenge. We made it easier to compete against friends and family. We gave away free swag. We boxed to the beat of Grammy-nominated artists. We expanded our Punch Track Library. We also welcomed several new Trainers to the Litesport team, including Aliyah Sims andJulian Devine “JD”.
We also met and boxed with some pretty cool people like Logan Paul, Matt James, Let’s Get Moving KC, Jason Markland, and more. We made appearances on The View, The Tamron Hall Show, and The Kelly Clarkson Show. And we’ve been hitting the streets in our Litesport Knockout series, challenging New Yorkers to see how many punches they can throw.
To say it’s been an exciting year would be an understatement. Let’s take a look back at 2022 with Litesport and all we’ve accomplished this past year.

New Features & Updates From the Past Year
2022 has been full of app updates, brand-new features, and product releases to improve your Litesport experience. Here’s a review of some of the most exciting changes from the past year:
New App Features
In 2022 we made a lot of changes to improve your Litesport mobile experience. We kicked it off in February with easier navigation updates to your profile and home screen, followed by another easy-to-navigate update in April that combined the “Workout” and “Quickplay” tabs into one screen.
Then in March and April, we added “Recommended For You” and “Recently Played” carousels on the homepage of the Litesport mobile app, along with new ways to filter your workout. In May, we added onboarding questions to personalize your Litesport experience. And in July we gave Premium VR members the chance to customize their workout with Playlists before opening this feature up to Litesport Go, Floor Stand, and Wall Mount premium fighters in October. Then in September, we expanded our Punch Track library to include 150 Punch Tracks.
It’s all thanks to your feedback. And we’re excited for even more features launching in 2023. Stay in the loop by joining our email newsletter or following along on our blog The Ring.
Litesport VR
This year Litesport entered the metaverse with the announcement of our first-ever virtual reality fitness experience, Litesport VR, on January 5, 2022. With Litesport VR you can enter a virtual boxing ring for a full sensory workout without ever leaving your living room. Your trainers are no longer just on a screen in front of you, they’re interacting with you in a 3D world.
Since launching we’ve been working hard to continuously improve the VR experience with updates and features like gesture scrolling, controller-free hand-tracking, custom workout playlists, passthrough mode, a brand-new Liteshield 2.0 design, a new VR World in the Litesport mobile app, and more. We also debuted two VR workouts in 2022 including Mitt Drills and Total Body.
Litesport Matches & Community Challenges
In January and February, we turned up the competitive dial by making it easier to compete against friends and make new ones in the Litesport community. That’s thanks to the launch of Matches in January and Community Challenges in February.
With Litesport Matches you can challenge other Litesport community members to a head-to-head battle. And Community Challenges are your chance to join other fighters in the Litesport community in completing a set of workouts before time runs out.
But it’s not just friends, family, and other fighters you can compete against. With Litesport VR you can head to the Community Hub to try and beat our Trainers’ high scores. Think you’ve got what it takes to be the best in the ring? Now’s your chance to prove it.
Milestone Badges
In July we gave you even more motivation to step into the ring with the chance to unlock Milestone Badges. You earn badges by completing a daily or weekly workout streak, throwing a certain number of punches, or spending multiple days in the ring with Litesport.
Badges are a gauge of your Litesport performance. They’re like trophies on the shelf, reminding you how far you’ve come and how hard you worked to get there. They also make for excellent motivation! When you’re this close to earning another badge, that could be the encouragement you need to get back in the ring and push for that next milestone.
Litesport Playlists & Radio
2022 was also a great year for workout customization thanks to updates like Litesport Playlists and Litesport Radio. Litesport Playlists originally launched for premium VR members in July before we opened it up to all Litesport Premium members in October. With Playlists, you can mix and match any Litesport class type for a seamless workout that auto-plays from one to the next without having to dig through the app.
And Litesport Radio sorts over 600 (and growing!) Punch Track workouts into genres for quick music selection. Relive your favorite decade with Old School Hip Hop Radio. Or box to the beat of your high-energy favorites on Dance/Electronic Radio.
The options are endless since Litesport Radio features every Punch Track we’ve ever posted, even the ones we’ve retired from our Punch Track Library. Then, add your favorite Punch Tracks and classes to a Playlist to create the ultimate workout that you can play again and again.
What People Have Said About Litesport This Past Year
This year we’re thankful and proud to be named the Best in Gaming at this year’s consumer tech CES 2022 showcase. We also got a Liteboxer Go shout-out from TechCrunch and Forbes called Litesport VR the “future of workouts”.
Gaming Trend gave Litesport VR a big thumbs up with an excellent 90/100 review. And DigitalTrends said they had “the best cardio workout” of their life while boxing in Litesport VR. We also saw features in ReviewGeek and TechRadar and made several television appearances including The Tamron Hall Show and The View with Litesport Brand Ambassador and former Bachelor, Matt James. But it’s feedback from you, our Litesport community, that we love receiving the most.
