Cute. But I got a better idea. Watch what you eat, take the stairs, do some push-ups and sit-ups, walk, and quit making excuses for why you aren't fit.. Cost: Nada.

I think we all fail to notice the fact that only incredibly fat people own exercise equipment, as most of us healthy people understand that we need to go out of our homes and do things. While developing a new piece of exercise machinery is not a bad thing, they should not be focusing on home exercise equipment as no one really wants it. Although i doubt they are actually targeting this for home use and i am willing to bet it's just the writers interpretation. As for the design so far though, i must say the endurance piece confuses me, and i can only assume they are trying to make a cross ramp machine without providing any support for the user (dangerous), but the brain design intrigues me a bit. It is very unusual to find a machine targeted at training all parts of the human body (at least I've never found one,) and this reminds me of an interesting blend of wiifit and brain age. While i doubt i will ever see one of these in action (they will probably be very expensive) I can only hope the Fitcorp i go to will pick one up when they are finished.

Mr. Gumsy,
just doing those aren't enough ok? you need strength training and although it looks like this won't supply much in the strength department its atleast a good first step so quit your whining. ps stairs don't really teach you enough balance but do give a good calf and quad workout

Bored dude,
if you're really that healthy and into working out, you know that you're wrong. its not all about leaving the house, while yes there is alot that can be done, leaving the house and paying to go somewhere isn't the best thing. what these people are trying to do (asside from making a quick buck) is to supply a cheaper means for people with lower income to get the exercise they need.
not everyone has a mountain or cliff to climb and tons of tree's to climb everywhere all day, or the time to do it all, and not everyone can afford the monthly payments on top of a sign up charge to get into a gym. and costs are too high for day passes.
think before you start talking for "most of us healthy people" because just leaving the house isn't a sure way to be healthy either, there's alot of exercises that can be done at the home that will do a great job.

I do however want to see a gym or some exercise center of some sort bring back the rope. and not just the jump rope, the one that use to hang from the ceiling that always seamed to be like 50-100 feet long when we were kids. seriously. bring back the 2-3 story long ropes we use to climb.

Could never climb those ropes my self (was very overweight as a kid.) But what i mean by getting out of the house, is doing just about anything. You don't have to go rock climbing or spend hours at a gym to be healthy, you can do simple things like walking a mile or 2, or just any basic exercise. Yeah if you want to get jacked then you basically have to go to a gym, but this device seems more targeted towards just being healthy. Also i just want to point out that most gym's cost between $10 - $15 per month if you are willing to go without all the extras that just about no one uses anyway (which means you can only use the equipment.) Also I believe some states are or are trying to provide tax credits for gym membership, so it really isn't that expensive at this point. While this new device is interesting, i am basically just saying it is unessecary for home use and would be much better off if targeted towards a gym. Also i very much doubt it will be that cheap. Maybe cheaper than buying every piece of equipment it emulates, but if you want cheap exercise equipment you can just get a jump rope and some free weights for around $50 to $70. Additionaly i just want to point out i used the term "most of us healthy people" and not "all of us". If you are going to tell me i am wrong, that is fine, just be sure to properly read what you disagree with, otherwise you will start posting articles about time traveling birds dropping baguette crumbs in places it shouldn't.
