Arcade-style gym actually makes us want to exercise

What? A gym that actually makes us want to work out? You gotta be kidding.

But it's true. This arcade-style gym is awesome and it'll make you want to slip on your gear right now.

You'll be able to find this uber cool disco-esque gym in the wealthy, leafy area of Upper East Side in New York City.

It's called Asphalt Green and has been dubbed a new fitness center with fully interactive high intensity interval training at its core.

Once your in the highly fluorescent room, you'll notice all the floors and walls respond to touch and pressure.

Participants then have to react to LED light visual cues over a 45-minute session.

You can bu up 1,000 calories in less than an hour in this new and funky way to work out.

That's way more than you'd ever bu sitting in an actual arcade – apparently.

It's very new, having opened on April 19, and is the first workout in North America to utilize the PRAMA system of pressure sensitive walls and floors with integrated LED light and sound.
