DDR at the gym: Konami and fitness center team up

For all the talk of video games causes lethargy and unhealthy lifestyles in children, Dance Dance Revolution has always been the ultimate argument against it. DDR
is a game that really gets the player moving, having to step in rhythm to the song as arrows fly up the screen – it has always been a great cardiovascular exercise (and may also
help children with ADHD). 24 Hour Fitness has inked a deal with Konami to incorporate Dance Dance Revolution arcade machines in their Kids' Clubs. In return, Konami will insert a 30-day pass to the popular gym.

Video game players get healthier, and health-conscious kids turn into gaming addicts – sounds like a perfect deal for both companies. What are some other arcade games that you wouldn't mind seeing in a gym? You can find the nearest 24 Hour Fitness center here.
