Revolutionising Entertainment: The Rise of Exergaming in Resorts and Venues

What is Exergaming?

Exergaming, the combination of the two english words 'exercise' and 'gaming,' is an interactive form of entertainment that combines physical activity with video gaming. Its roots can be traced back to the early 1980s with the Power Pad by NES, but it has recently surged in popularity, thanks to advancements in technology and a growing emphasis on health and wellness.

The Growing Trend of Exergaming in Resorts

Recent years have seen a spike in exergaming facilities within resorts. From virtual reality cycling adventures to PleyoStation, a transformed mini-trampoline, these innovative offerings are catering to a diverse range of guests, from fitness enthusiasts to families seeking fun and interactive experiences.
