24 Hour Fitness centres and DDR

P-Chan · Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2005 11:08 am Post subject: 24 Hour Fitness centres and DDR

Konami Digital Entertainment America has partnered with 24-Hour Fitness. DDR programs will be added to the gym's "Kids Club" and will incorporate DDR as promotions at the grand openings of new clubs.

Konami will be packaging free 30-day passes for 24 Hour Fitness inside bundle packs of DDR Extreme 2 for PS2 and DDR Ultramix 3 for the Xbox. The passes will be valid through the end of March 2006

24-Hour Fitness will be encouraging customers to use the machines, promoting the benefits to members and staff and demonstrating the DDR workout at club openings and special events.

That's excellent and great sigh of relief knowing that DDR is finally being advertised and encouraged more. However, the fact that they are isolating it to children at first is a bit disappointing. Whatever though...

Hopefully they'll be taught how to step properly.

I have a membership to 24-hour fitness. Does this mean I will be seeing DDR machines at locations soon, or will I be seeing rigged-up PS2's in a small corner of an area in the club?

wait, i'm confused, will they be using a home version, or an arcade machine? if it's arcade, i think it'll be lame, since it's being sponsored by Konami, it'll most likely be an american mix. That means only three mixes to choose from, all of which suck IMO

Im wondering the same myself. Sadly, this will probably be the same type of setups that they started putting in mcdonalds. :< Since it said that these "machines" are going in the kids area and wouldnt u know it, the setups in mcdonalds were kid size. im not kidding.

Where, exactly, is this going to take place?

I mean, I need more information. Is anyone going to advertise it on TV? Or is anyone going to make and put up flyers? Really, I like for these people to be more specific. A schedule or something... or SOMETHING! Someone please talk to me!

Re-read the first post carefully. There will be free 30-day passes inside the ddr bundle packs. Meaning... if you have a PS2 and u buy a DDR bundle pack.. u get a free 30-day pass to 24-hour fitness.

Also, if you understood what I meant.. then you would figure out by now that they're gonna use machines.

Hmm... This could potentially create legions of hardcore DDR Freaks, meaning more competitions, more prizes and more games! Sounds like good news all around. Will GoodLife follow suit?

What kind of machine is it? DDR Arcade machine? I think konami will have ddr game and konami dance pad (PS2) on the 24 Fitness club for kids...
This might be for baby sitting!

Did you say machines? What machines?

(Easily excitable much?)

The DDR McDonalds setup was a small flatscreen, a PS2 with DDR MAX2, and a BNS metal pad (that is the correct size, of course.)

DDR Studio has wireless rubber pads, hands and stuff, and an instructors station. It's made for health clubs. I bet that's the machine.

So is there a way to see which 24hrs. have the DDR machines?
