Exergaming Repository
Our startup company, Exergaming Finland, like many commercial and semi-commercial enterprises, relies heavily on investment, research and resources. Our single largest resource is our own Exergaming service. We are a fitness service provider, first and foremost, equipment utilization runs a distant second. I chose this format as I wanted the service to be delivered onsite, to the customer/s, rapidly and unobtrusively (and removed just as expediently). This pretty much dictated my choice of equipment from the outset. Creating customer programs from that point on became very clear, and our...

This article caught my attention as ‘Mobile Exergaming’ is a fundamental strategy of our company Exergaming Finland. ‘Mobile’ in Finland means something quite different to how we use the term in Australia. In Finland it represents ‘mobile phones’, in Australia its twofold with both phones and portability, mainly the later. Follow the article: Mobile exergaming to get an idea of what is being toyed with in the mobile phone platforms. Another bent on mobile exergaming, again by those natty Finns, is Exergaming for Tourists A novel way to sight see around...

I just joined an Exergaming group at twitfitter which oddly enough, reminded me of the times when I lovingly handcrafted my first html homepage. Actually it was a semi-commercial website called the Cool Republic. An overclockers, water cooling haven for the hands on geek of 1998. Since then I’ve MS frontpaged, Dreamweaved, got someone else to do it, Joomla’d, WordPressed and now Ning’d. Each has made me realise how impetuous I’ve become to ‘get my hot copy released’. I used to think writing and setting up a blog, and a blogsite was too speedy and ill...

I’ve added ‘About Brett’ and ‘Our Direction’ to give an outline of our foray into Exergaming. It’s was rather theraputic, if not slightly disturbing experience, dissecting our past exploits to present day. It adds some clarity at the very least and highlights how far we still have to go. We have only been ‘active’ in the Exergaming arena for less than three years, it certainly feels longer – in a good way I might add .

I’d be thrilled to swap stories with any other Australians who are actively involved with Exergaming methodologies. Should you/they be involved in research, school/education systems, medical and rehab. applications, personal instruction or commercial gym businesses, it would be great to swap thoughts on Exergaming from a local perspective. Since arriving back home from living in Europe for 10 years, I can already see substantial differences in how we (Australians) seem to grasp the fitness alternatives offered through Exergaming, particularly in comparison to ‘tech...

Exergaming is the ‘alternative Fitness’ methodology I’ve been waiting for my entire life! Phew, I’m thrilled I finally got that off my chest. At 44, that represents a reasonable timeline I’d say. I’m almost embarrassed confessing this, one sentence to sum up my ‘Fitness/Career’, to this point. I certainly don’t wish to sound overly dramatic, but it’s true, unequivocally true. I remember the moment. Its since became one of those ‘pivotal moments’, please no Dr. Phil analogies, that everyone experiences, in...
