PSB Fitness
A brand new VR Gaming Gym in Mississauga is now available for all to use! This gaming gym located at Sheridan’s Hazel McCallion Campus (HMC) is an experience all must try.
Who said exercising shouldn’t be fun? PSB Fitness combines the need to stay healthy with the want of having fun while exercising. The combination of the latest technology in VR and gym machines/equipment integrated with video games will transform you into new worlds when exercising.
VR Gaming While Working Out
Working out isn’t easy, but it can be fun! PSB Fitness deviates from the traditional gym formula by integrating the workout machines with video games and virtual reality. Each piece of equipment can be used traditionally or can be used while experiencing PSB Fitness’s new line of workout games.
Whether you choose to go virtual or look at one of the hundred’s TVs around our gyms, you will find yourself immersed when exercising. Each machine has up to 5 different games you can play that is related to the physical activity you are attempting to do. The games are fun, track your progress, and even post your score on a leaderboard that is available for all to beat. You can even challenge your friends in friendly competitions, or team up with your best mates and go against a different group, exclusively all in our VR gaming gym in Mississauga.
How It All Works out
A VR gaming gym can seem like a lot but it’s actually quite simple. Every machine and weight you will find in a traditional gym, you will find here too. You can use any of our machines without having to play the games if you wish to, but we do recommend trying out our different games, there is something there for everyone!
When it comes to levels themselves, we use a formula that differs for every game to determine your score. You can increase your score in many different ways. Depending on the machine you are using, increasing the weight, your repetitions, or how fast you are attempting to exercise can all increase your score.
For people looking to have a casual fun time, if you don’t like one of the levels of the game, you can easily switch to another until you find what you like, or if you are a hardcore “gym rat” like us, attempt to find all the hidden lore and solve all the puzzles by progressing through every level. There are hundreds of hours of enjoyable content, and we are always adding more.
The virtual reality machines work quite similarly to the regular video games ones. Every VR machine will have a virtual reality helmet attached to it. Simply put on the helmet, attach the virtual reality controlers to your hands and legs, select your level and begin having fun! VR gaming gym in Mississauga provides all the VR headsets and hand/feet equipment needed.
PSB Fitness App
The amazing thing about going digital is that everything you will ever need is stored in our app. No longer will you have to bring a gym card that is attached to your keys, now, you can simply scan your card through our app using a specialized barcode given only to you. But that’s not all.
The PSB Fitness App is an amazing tool that will enhance your gym experience and will make your life easier. All your progress from every machine will be tracked using our app that is directly linked to the machine you are currently using. Every rep, every weight, and every step is all tracked and displayed in an easy-to-find format, this way, you will never ever have to try and remember what weight or how many reps you previously did. The app will also display your total progress in a chart, showing you how much you have improved to keep your confidence levels high!
Lastly, our app has thorough training and explanations for every machine in our gym, as well as many other exercises you may want to attempt which are not machine-related such as calisthenic workouts. Simply look up the name of the exercise/machine, and there is will be a video recorded by professionals teaching you how to best perform the exercises. Some machines require you to move the seats to get the best out of the workout, when looking up such machines in our app, there will be a handy drop-down menu that allows you to choose your height. Based on your height, a recommendation of the seat’s height will appear on your screen.
Leaderboards and Events
Every exercise machine will have a leaderboard publically displayed that refreshes weekly, the winners of the machines can will small prizes. Events are held weekly and usually include teams going against each other in an epic clash! If you would like to sign up for our next event please download and sign up on our PSB Fitness App.
