A kinesthetic training apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and,
• a memory that is not a transitory propagating signal, the memory connected to the one or more processors and encoding data and computer readable instructions, including processor executable program instructions, the data and computer readable instructions accessible to the one or more processors, wherein the processor executable program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• requesting a user perform specific actions during a participation phase;
• assigning one or more scores to the user's performance of the requested specific actions during the participation phase;
• and,
• generating for display on a display device, during a simulation phase, a virtual space including an in-game character performing actions corresponding to the requested specific actions performed by the user during the participation phase, wherein the in-game character's skill level in performing actions is based on the one or more scores of the user's performance of the requested specific actions during the participation phase.
