I'm maybe not the best to ask, as I've rarely had any motion sickness issues. But the few times I have, it's been very specific games, and mostly ones in which you're "flying around" or some such.
Luckily, that means you can choose games that don't have this issue, and most fitness games are included. E.g. a lot of "fitness" games are like beat saber - you're effectively "standing still" and things are coming to you. Other games allow you to move around a little, but you're still basically "on the ground" and moving around, not flying.
So in my experience, it's fairly easy to do 30 minutes of something like Beat Saber, Pistol Whip, or similar games. And way funner to do that than do 30 minutes of just running, at least to me. (Sorry, I'm not much of a runner.)
That said, there's a reason for my belief that when a good omnidirectional treadmill hits the market, it will make VR 1000x better. It will make all fitness games instantly much better, and more realistic, and it turn many games that aren't currently fitness games into fitness games by having you walking or running around a lot. An FPS that allows you to actually walk around will instantly be the best game ever, in my mind, but right now there's no way I'm doing that for exercise.
