NextGen Player writes:

"A growing % of children are finding interactive gyms, equipped with variety of video games consoles hooked up to exercise machines, to be a motivational alternative to traditional health clubs.

Bulldog Interactive Fitness For Youth, Canada's first interactive fitness facility is a leading this new craze with 10 locations across the country since it's inception in 2005. The gym offers interactive programs for children aged 3 to teen, which include games such as Dance-Dance Revolution, racing game DiRT (hooked up to an exercise bike), and Wii Sports. Very cool indeed."

More after the jump.
