    Combining gym exercising and mobile gaming is bringing together two global trends. In this research, it has been studied how a gym-themed mobile game can be connected to a real gym setting by bringing personal exercising data from wearable sensors and gym equipment to the game. It is also studied how the gym goers see the gaming when combined to their exercising routines.
