Pretty much. You can experience just about anything.

If goat-herder sim, long distance truck driving sim and lawn mower sim are all currently available, there’s no reason to believe that Waiting In Line: DMV-R won’t exist.

Nah, instead your conscious is transferred into a game, it happens to be The Dying Light

People think they will be a cool ninja fighting monsters in full dive but they will just end up stuck in some drug euphoria until the heat death of the universe.

I would've liked some details about the "workout session" actually involving slaying a bunch of orcs via sword-fighting and magic in VR and/or practicing martial arts against world champions, or free-soloing a rock wall on Mars.

Otherwise based on the description the first thing that comes to mind is a cheesy "Black Mirror" style of gamified workout session based on incredibly banal tasks such as biking and running which is a huge downgrade even from today's options such as rock climbing, MMA, dancing or whatever your actual passion is (which most people have yet to discover, and hence haven't really escaped the idea that a workout can be something more fulfilling than "forcing yourself to go to the gym"), endrant.
