The video game world has been so much more effective at motivating users to play more, something the fitness industry has been lacking. The technology expectations of today’s younger consumers are so much higher. Members expect to have treadmills and elliptical trainers in their health clubs, but the PlayStation® Generation grew up playing soccer with David Beckham and football with John Madden. “The addition of the video screen and ability to race makes this effective total body workout even more fun and engaging. “Xdream is the latest in a line of stationary bikes that have all utilized the patent laterally moving handlebar technology that was created in 2003,” said Patrick Murray, President of Trixter North America. Member feedback has already been incredibly positive and it is not unusual to see members on the strength deck racing one another and laughing while working out.” “The Xdream bike is a wonderful addition to our best in class offerings. “The Sports Center has always had a commitment to authentic sports, providing our members with the best and most cutting edge products,” commented Greta Wagner, General Manager of the Sports Center. The machine records unique users so as a biker completes each course, the machine presents harder courses and faster competition. Xdream took the already patented technology of laterally rotating handlebars and added a video simulation screen that allows the biker to race themselves, the machine or people sitting on the Xdream bike next to them. The handlebars engage the torso, core and upper body unlike a traditional stationary bike. ![]() In testing, the Xdream bike burns 55% more calories than a traditional stationary bike workout due to the laterally rotating handlebars that accurately simulate the steering and motion of a real bike. Competitive athletes, gamers, and gym goers all embraced the innovative, fun, and interactive technology that revolutionized the effectiveness of a “stationary” bike workout to include an upper body component. ![]() Trixter’s Xdream bikes, which launched in the UK in 2008, were an immediate success in health clubs and with consumers by combining the entertainment and competition of video games, with fitness.
