Can Multiplayer 'Group' Fitness work in Commercial Fitness Centres?!
Yes, unequivocally yes! I've proven it over 8 years total. Like any group format, the success is more to do with marketing and promotion not the actual format itself.
Machine Dance is a superb fitness genre, period. We know it works brilliantly to improve fitness, burn fat etc. Multiplayer goes a HUGE step further. It goes beyond the two player or arcade formats by allowing 4,12, 20, 30 plus people to engage in this amazing activity at the same time! A true group solution.
As a result it creates an experience that is unparalled in exergaming. Participants become part of a synchronous moving mass that almost feels like a performance. Machine dance is already addictive, multiplayer machine dance takes this addictiveness and raises it even further.
There is an amazing sense of community and joy in moving in concert with a large group. A 60 minute group class seems like 15 minutes and leaves everyone hungry for more!
Multiplayer Machine Dance lives on at Little Jim in Hobart where the more players the better. We simply can't imagine fitness without it!
iDANCE2 game-fitness session at 7.45pm tonight at the Hobart Aquatic Centre. "Get Your Game On" :)
