A New Chapter for Tae Bo Begins on Meta Quest

Taebo Reboot enters Early Access today, reimagining Billy Blanks’ iconic program for a new generation.

MONTREAL, Quebec – September 25, 2025 – From VHS tapes to virtual reality, Taebo has always been about one thing: moving with power and purpose. XPR Labs is proud to announce Taebo Reboot: Master of the Elements is entering Early Access today, exclusively for Meta Quest devices. For the first time, Billy Blanks’ world-famous Tae Bo program has been reimagined as a virtual reality game, giving players the chance to train, sweat, and succeed in an epic fitness adventure built on movement, discipline, and heart.


Train Like a Legend

Taebo Reboot brings Billy Blanks back as your coach and motivator. Inside the VR dojo, players take on more than 100 challenges across five elemental Books: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Emptiness. Every strike, dodge, and block builds Precision, Agility, and Power. These stats become the building blocks of confidence, strength, and mastery. Billy’s voice is with you every step of the way, pushing you to give more, dig deeper, and leave each session stronger than when you started.

Billy’s voice is with you every step of the way, pushing you to give more, dig deeper, and leave each session stronger than when you started. 


A Legacy Reborn

In the 1990s and 2000s, Taebo inspired millions to move with confidence, selling tens of millions of VHS tapes and DVDs worldwide. Billy Blanks became a household name, blending martial arts, boxing, and dance into workouts that changed lives across the globe. Now, with Taebo Reboot, that same energy comes alive in VR. Billy has personally recorded new voiceovers and worked with the team to ensure the entire program carries the authentic spirit of Tae Bo, while giving a new generation of players the chance to feel its power in a whole new way.

Modes and Mastery

Taebo Reboot is built to adapt to every player’s journey, offering multiple paths to train, improve, and grow. Whether you want the structure of a guided program, the focus of targeted drills, or the freedom to move at your own pace, the game provides a mode to match your goals.

The Elemental Campaign challenges players to progress through the five Books, building skills step by step. The Practice Pack sharpens specific techniques, while Free Training mode creates space for open-ended workouts in detailed environments. Progression is marked with Achievements and Belts, rewarding dedication with new gloves, belts, and unlockables that celebrate martial arts tradition.

Worlds of Training

Every workout in Taebo Reboot is set within a world designed to heighten the experience and keep training fresh. The environments span a wide spectrum, from the serenity of a Japanese Garden to the fiery chaos of a Burning Volcano, the timeless grandeur of a Greek Temple, and the otherworldly vastness of Cosmic Infinity. Each setting brings its own mood and energy, giving players new backdrops that challenge focus, stamina, and imagination.

Sound is just as important as sight in creating these worlds. Original soundtracks pair orchestral power with high-tempo electronic beats, shifting tone and intensity to match the environment. Together, the visuals and music create training spaces that feel alive, immersive, and unforgettable.
 

Targets and Challenges

Workouts in Taebo Reboot are built around interactive targets and obstacles that turn every session into a test of focus, agility, and precision. These challenges are designed to keep players engaged while pushing them to react quickly and move with intent.

Zigzagging targets demand sharp footwork and timing, while spike balls and bombs punish hesitation or mistakes. Hourglasses bend time when struck, creating openings to extend combos or recover momentum. Heavy bags and BOB dummies build raw power and endurance, while complex combo sequences challenge coordination and rhythm. Together, these elements create dynamic workouts that feel as strategic as they are physical.

Key Features
  • Full-body VR workouts combining cardio, boxing, and rhythm mechanics

  • Over 100 challenges across 5 elemental Books

  • Unlockable gloves, belts, and achievements for progression

  • Post-challenge stat breakdowns tracking Precision, Agility, and Power

  • Voiceovers from Billy Blanks guiding and motivating players

  • Immersive environments and original soundtracks that shape each workout
     

Industry Backing and Community Response

Over the last two years, Taebo Reboot has been presented at fitness expos, martial arts schools, and professional trade shows. More than 10,000 live demos have been conducted worldwide, giving athletes, trainers, and coaches the chance to experience the program firsthand. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with experts praising the balance of VR engagement and authentic fitness training. The response to these demos has guided our journey so far, and now the next phase will be shaped by the players themselves.

Shaping the Journey Ahead

Early Access marks the next step in Taebo Reboot’s journey, and the first opportunity for players themselves to help shape the program. This phase will be used to refine and polish the game while integrating community feedback, ensuring the program grows stronger with every update. The focus will be on expanding progression, deepening tracking systems, and introducing new ways to keep every workout fresh.

Planned additions include an Endless Mode that allows continuous training without interruptions. An in-game inventory will introduce items such as gloves, helmets, boots, and energy drinks to enhance performance. Career stats will also be expanded to track punches, dodges, and sessions across a player’s entire journey. An interactive gym screen is in development as well, providing access to custom content and official 2D Tae Bo workouts from Billy Blanks. These updates will roll out over time as XPR Labs works with the community to shape the full launch of Taebo Reboot: Master of the Elements.
