Virgin Active has agreed a deal with fitness bike supplier Trixter to install the interactive Xdream kit at 36 of its UK health clubs as well as clubs in Spain, Portugal and Australia.
The Xdream bike acts as the controller for the interactive riding display on the screen, mounted just in front of the handlebars.
The sensors in the bike allow riders to enjoy the multiple courses and challenges while engaging with the simulation.
The laterally-moving handlebars have been designed to add an upper body and core workout and also allow the user to negotiate corners and obstacles appearing on the screen.
Andy Birch, UK head of product, said: "Xdream adds a fun factor to the gym floor and users get so involved with the virtual ride that they don't realise how hard they've been working until they finish."
"The interactive multiplayer and ghost racing modes along with the ability for individuals to create profiles to store their rides and unlock new features mean the Trixter Xdreams can meet and exceed the ever increasing expectations of club members everywhere."
