NEW YORK — It’s something of a little kid’s dreams. You’re mounted on a pegasus flying high above a forest, collecting jewels as you weave around trees. You’re riding a horse and lassoing cowboys on a dirt road in the Wild West. You’re shooting at tanks on a snowy battlefield.

These are but a few of the collection of games that will soon be available in virtual reality through VR fitness gaming platform VirZOOM, as part of an innovative new partnership with cardio equipment manufacturer Life Fitness that seeks to gamify the workout experience.

The pegasuses, bikes and tanks are powered by a fitness center cycling machine.
