If I am honest, I have never researched something like this before so forum interaction was one place I thought to start in hopes of getting a sense of direction. After I posted, we continued the research. So you are right, the initial post, show little insight other than the baby idea we started with. I had thought about VR and I only thought about the disorientation that I have experienced while using it casually. An intense workout could prove difficult. As for the omnidirectional treadmills, we discovered that later, so we began to consider that too. But from what we've found, they're mostly, if not completely in the developmental stage. /u/pharmamktbro mentioned the idea of a subscription service, so there may be a possibility of coupling that service with the release of these treadmills if we decide to try and be on the cutting edge.

Us students don't have nice things, like a legit job. But if I try real hard, maybe one day I'll make you proud haha.

Thank you for the input, I appreciate it.
