A Life-Changing Decision

A year ago, content creator and VR enthusiast Nikita Fajitaa was at a crossroads. Struggling with her weight, she was considering weight loss surgery, but insurance complications led her to a different solution: the KATVR treadmill.

This decision would go on to transform her life—not just physically, but mentally.
“Even without losing a single pound, the KATVR treadmill would’ve been worth it for the immersive gaming experience. But losing 50 lbs along the way made it even more rewarding,” Nikita shared.

Walking, Gaming, and Losing Weight

Nikita’s journey began with her love for VR gaming. She soon realized that her favorite titles—Skyrim, Fallout, and Resident Evil—became more engaging when played on foot. Within her first 60 days, she lost 15 lbs simply by walking through Skyrim without using fast travel.
“It wasn’t just fun; it was also a workout. I beat Skyrim and Fallout without fast travel, just walking. It felt amazing,” she said.

Challenges and Burnout

Despite her early success, Nikita faced a slump halfway through the year. Burnout set in, and she gained some weight back. However, she didn’t give up. The support from her community and her own determination kept her going.

“When I saw the weight creeping back, I could’ve quit. But I pushed through, especially because my viewers could see my progress,” she explained.

The Turning Point

In September 2024, attending Meta Connect reignited Nikita’s passion. She realized how far she’d come and the impact of her content. By October, she was back on track with her workouts, losing more weight consistently.

“I streamed almost every day, and now I’m determined to hit my goal weight of 130 lbs,” she said.

Milestones: Achievements Along the Way

• Half Marathon in Minecraft: Nikita walked 13.1 miles in one session for charity.

• Game Completion on Foot: She completed games like Resident Evil 2 and Fallout 4 entirely by walking.

• VR Speedrun: In October, she did a speedrun of Resident Evil 7, blending her love for gaming with intense physical activity.

The KATVR Treadmill: A Game Changer

Nikita credits the KATVR treadmill for not only transforming her health but also enhancing her VR experience. By the end of the year, she walked over 1,000 miles, combining fitness with immersive gaming.
“The treadmill isn’t the same as when I started. I’ve learned how to use it to its full potential, even wearing a 30 lb vest for more intensity,” she said.
