Pulse Launches VR Fitness Equipment ​​​​​​​

Pulse Fitness, the dedicated equipment arm of the Pulse Group, is launching a range of fully immersive virtual reality fitness equipment set in a gaming environment. 

Over the past five years, Pulse have been developing new technology in partnership with CSE Entertainment. The new software and hardware will be compatible with Pulse treadmills with other cardio products to follow later this year. The technology will be available via the console and is also fully compatible with virtual reality headsets.

Users will be able to explore over 100 different virtual gaming programmes and environments such as coastal, countryside and city based locations. The software will give them a unique 360 degree real life experience, with incline and resistance that autonomously adjusts to the terrain.

Designed as a way to keep fit, users will be able take part competitively by running alongside fellow gym users or web racing globally. They will also be able to try and beat their previous scores when using the equipment, as well as using the software to add variety and energy to their usual workout routine.

“Introducing virtual reality to our equipment is something we are very excited about,” says Pulse managing director, Chris Johnson. “We are constantly looking for different ways to engage more people in fitness and encourage them to lead an active lifestyle, and we believe that our virtual reality equipment is the next step to providing fully immersive fitness experiences.”
