From examiner.com:

Gone are the days of the chubby gamer. More and more studies are suggesting that the socially awkward, overweight gamer sterotype is a thing of the past, along with the myth that gamers are almost all male. With those tidy pieces of information shoved into your pocket, it’s almost too easy to imagine the merging of video games and fitness. It wasn’t hard for the games industry to conceptualize it either and it took them no time to jump right into that perfect pairing. Try YourSelf! Fitness, Dance Dance Revolution, Wii Sports, Wii Play and the piece d’resistance, Wii Fit. Why not include these incredibly popular video games in your normal work out routine? Or even better, why not trick children into working out? A Gold’s Gym in Colorado Springs, CO has done just that.

Located off of Union and Briargate this particular Gold’s has included a gym game room where children from ages 9 to 12 can go to play games and break a sweat. Not only is it a great asset for parents who want to work out but not pay for a babysitter, it’s hardly difficult to talk your kids into playing video games with other kids for about an hour or so.
