Ngl, if they make gym work as some kind of “heavy work” simulator games like Farming or Mining, with tracking progress, achievements, and competitive ranking, I would be at the gym way more.
VR games already make me work out way more than I thought I would.
Add a leveling system in there and make it an mmo
Pretty sure this is super common on some equipment. The ellipticals at the gym I used (before it moved) had them , but I never bothered.
LOL What would you do with your Skill Points?
Dunno it just adds a progression system which gets me going
Leaderboards
Honestly just tie it to some repetitie game. Think Skilling in RuneScape. All they really need is a number that goes up, and the occasional firework.
Throw in skins for your pickaxe or whatever and you’re golden. People will get so buff, going for the sparkly anime-girl skin, you have no idea.
CrossFit might be what you’re looking for.
