If you look for an alternative workout experience: sweaty but fun and dynamic, Hero’s Journey definitely ranks at the top of your list. Based in Astana (capital of Kazakhstan), it is the first local gamified fitness studio, creating a challenging but fun environment for exercisers. At a basic level, gamification is the process of applying gaming mechanics to non-game situations. In this case, fitness experiences that are gamified balanced playing games with working out by visualizing the once less conspicuous progress.

The more progress you make, the further you go and visit. How about the fitness equipment?

FLANDINA 18 and DOTCHAIN 300 are equally impressive but suitable for fixed installation. The former, an LED strip, has powerful output with real uniform color coverage. One of the highlights is the double mounting brackets and the equally-spaced LEDs, which enable an endless layout of patterns and graphics displays. The latter, though designed with a tight 2° beam angle, manages to deliver powerful beam and shiny strobe with variable speed. It also maintains quiet operation with no fans design, free of externally heavy oil smoke or colored paper in the midst of entertainment applications.
