Game On!, set to open in justa couple of weeks, is one of the first of its kind to hit the Cincinnati area.It's a revolutionary new fitness gaming center designed to captivate kids,teens, and adult gamers alike. John Janszen, Fitworks Chief Operating Officerstates, "Game On! takes traditional gaming and traditional fitness to the nextlevel by combining them into a high-energy space filled with extreme gamesthat require users to engage in action-packed physical activities. Theactivity and movement powers the games and allows users to compete againstother players." All of this is packaged in a high-energy environment designedto engage all the senses with heart-pounding music and a frequent laser lightshow. The idea says Janszen, is to get people moving and allow them to do thiswhile having fun. "Obesity levels are at a record high, especially childhoodobesity. And many adults complain that workouts can get monotonous. With GameOn!, we saw an opportunity to cut the boredom experienced by adults while alsoproviding kids with an outlet for physical activity. It's like getting a kidto eat fruit by covering it in sugar, though there's no downside to thesweetener we've added." And Janszen is quick to emphasize that Game On! isdesigned to stimulate and challenge adults, not just kids and teens. "Anyonewho enjoys movement and gaming will love Game On!," states Janszen.
