PROBLEM The benefits of regular exercise are well known, but 4 out of 5 people don’t get the recommended amount of exercise. So, what's stopping us? Well, traditional exercise is tedious and repetitive; running endlessly in place on a treadmill or elliptical is boring and solitary. GOODBYE BORING. HELLO FITNESS! Over 40% of Americans play video games 3 or more hours a week, because they’re engaging, fun and imaginative. So, while spending numerous hours toiling away at a rowing machine, we thought what if you could just play? That is why we developed SymGym, a fun alternative to traditional exercise. SymGym brings the world of play back to exercise. With SymGym, players can play games, compete with friends, and workout using our resistance based exercise device, video game controller, and gaming platform. In a traditional workout, you exercise. In a SymGym workout, you play. A traditional workout is repetitive, sometime tedious. A SymGym workout is dynamic and ever-changing. A traditional workout is a solitary affair. A SymGym workout is social and interactive. Why spend your time acquiring a bitmap “badge” when you can crush your friends in the combat arena?
