Virtual and augmented reality are the next major computing platforms. These technologies will revolutionize the way we work play and learn. Black Box VR will take advantage of these advances to finally fix fitness and end the daily struggle that millions of people go through to get the exercise that they need to achieve the body and health that they desire. Today fitness is boring confusing and almost impossible to maintain for the vast majority of people that set out to get into shape.
Black Box VR will change the way the world works out. Youll step into the Black Box room with your custom fitness headset and an entire new world will be created around you. As you go through the experience youll get a full body workout that is so immersive youll forget you are working out at all.
Some VR workouts in the future will include basic features like having your virtual trainer with you who is guiding you through a body weight workout similar to Wii Fit. We dont believe that is enough. Black Box VR will integrate resistance training through an electronically controlled cable system which will be seamlessly integrated into the game experience. Reach out to grab that rope or lift the handles on that object and youll feel real cables set to the exact resistance that you need. Functional fitness in a fictional word.
Only three Black Box experiences a week at 30 minutes each will be enough to increase your strength endurance and health while shaping your body in all new ways to help you achieve the body youve always wanted. Each workout will automatically move you toward your goal by refining the resistance intensity and speed based on your goals and your current progress. Plateaus are not allowed.
Black Box VR will open flagship gyms in San Francisco and we will expand from there. Licensing opportunities will exist for gym chains to add Black Box VR workouts to help them leapfrog their competition and create additional revenue opportunities. Franchisees will also be able to open their own Black Box VR gyms.
Black Box VR is rapidly developing the next and final fitness revolution.

Core Beliefs
Video games level up your character or farm but level down yourself and society ultimately leading to less personal happiness and success. Game creators are the worlds best behavioral psychologists. They have perfected the art of getting people addicted to an experience so the person plays longer and more often sometimes while sacrificing other parts of their lives. These same strategies can be harnessed for good.
Core Beliefs
Virtual reality has the ability to affect the brain in ways that other technology cannot. If your mind perceives it as real it might as well be real. We consciously know we are not actually in another realm but other parts of our brain arent wired to understand the difference. Using your body as the controller this can be utilized to create shocking fitness results.
Core Beliefs
Bring us a difficult challenge. We love it. The thrill of solving hard problems together is only equalled by the meaning that we get from seeing our inventions being used to improve the lives of our customers and our team mates. Every day we will support each other as we embrace the grind the frustration and the failures that ultimately lead us to greater rewards than we ever could have imagined. There is no short cut.
For centuries true innovation in fitness has been sluggish at best. Incremental improvements have provided only incremental results. Not for long. The Black Box award-winning dynamic resistance machine re-imagines the fitness experience at a fundamental level.
