Gym Class is a VR pure-play focused exclusively on basketball, positioning its experience around hardware-dependent mechanics that only make sense in virtual reality. The app frames itself as a social hub where players can bond over sport and basketball culture rather than a traditional single-player game. To date the free app has amassed nearly 1 million downloads on Meta’s App Lab storefront but has not yet appeared in the official Quest Store. The company is tightly focused on basketball and says it has no near-term plans to expand into other sports. Its upcoming Quest Store launch is a major milestone and highlights the team’s reliance on Meta’s distribution platform and the broader headset-adoption trajectory. The startup recently closed funding that supports continued development and the push toward a wider platform release.
