Video Game Accessory Adds Healthy Twist to Holiday Gift Giving
"Today's society battles with the need to exercise and the desire to spend time watching television, surfing the Internet or playing video games," explain Eloton co-founders Greg House and Ryan Forvilly. "The SimCycle Gamebox brings physical exercise to those individuals rather than trying to tear them away from something they already love."
Hooking up the Gamebox is fast and easy: the consumer simply connects the SimCycle to the small (four-inch by six-inch) Gamebox, which is then plugged into the game port on a Windows-based personal computer. The user can now control the speed of their racecar, fighter jet, or 1st person shooter while physically pedaling the SimCycle and using a standard game pad to control other functions.
Forvilly and House feel that the SimCycle Gamebox will be of special interest to parents looking for new ways to get their kids the exercise they need.
"Youngsters in our Nation are in the worst shape of any country in the world with the exception of some 3rd World countries because we no longer teach physical education in our schools," says Jim Bush, Pro-Coach and Advisor to the Presidents Council On Physical Fitness. "The SimCycle is a great way to help get these kids back into shape and have FUN while doing it."
The SimCycle Gamebox retails for $79.99 and comes with it's own Eloton game pad. Consumers can order directly from the Eloton Web site, www.eloton.com , or call the company's toll-free number, 1-866- eloton1.
