Are you a gamer at heart? A new neighbor at 1390 Market Street is bringing the world’s first virtual reality gym experience to the Mid-Market neighborhood. Step into the Black Box VR boutique gym and immerse yourself in a whole new way to get fit.
In the Black Box VR experience, muscle groups are represented by elements. The greater your strength, the higher your level. Exercises that work the legs for example are associated with water and will have corresponding effects in the game. At any moment, your opponent can fight back more effectively if he or she uses the opposing element. The level of your weakest muscle group determines your overall rank, pushing you to maintain a well-rounded functional fitness. Black Box VR’s machine learning algorithms incentivize your optimal workout so you can focus less on tracking and more on pushing yourself to the limit.
Heroes field warrior units and perform movements with real resistance to deploy direct damage, break through opposing gates and destroy the enemy crystal. Stronger lifts correspond to more powerful attacks. A session is comprised of as many rounds as possible in 30 minutes. The more crystals you destroy in each round, the more points you will earn! Win battles to earn trophies that allow you to move up to higher stadiums and rankings.
Black Box VR is open Monday- Friday 6am – 9pm and Saturday – Sunday 8am – 4pm. Located next door to Starbucks, this is a convenient spot to get your game on.
