Traditional treadmills and stationary bikes are seeing a massive decline as major gym chains across the globe roll out ‘Zero-Gravity’ VR fitness rigs. Users are strapped into a safe, suspended harness and wear sweat-proof VR headsets that transport them into highly immersive digital worlds. Whether you are climbing a virtual Mount Everest, flying through a sci-fi city while doing resistance training, or participating in a medieval sword-fighting cardio session, the gamification of fitness has reached its peak. Health experts note that this immersive distraction technique allows people to burn up to 40% more calories without feeling the traditional fatigue of a workout.
