Systems and methods for a metaverse gym

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to communicate with a plurality of remote sensors associated with dispersed exercise equipment and to simulate a virtual training experience, the operations comprising:

• generating a simulated exercise environment;
• presenting a first avatar in the simulated exercise environment, wherein the first avatar is associated with a first participant located in a first physical location;
• presenting a second avatar in the simulated exercise environment, wherein the second avatar is associated with a second participant located in a second physical location remote from the first physical location;
• receiving from at least one first sensor associated with a first piece of exercise equipment in the first physical location first signals representing first physical exertions by the first participant;
• in response to the first signals, causing the first avatar to simulate, in the simulated exercise environment, the first physical exertions;
• receiving from at least one second sensor associated with a second piece of exercise equipment in the second physical location second signals representing second physical exertions by the second participant;
• based on the second signals, causing the second avatar to simulate, in the simulated exercise environment, the second physical exertions;
• enabling the first participant to view from the first physical location the simulations of the first physical exertions and the second physical exertions in the simulated exercise environment;
• enabling the second participant to view from the second physical location the simulations of the first physical exertions and the second physical exertions in the simulated exercise environment;
• and
• enabling the first participant and the second participant to communicate with each other during a common exercise session in the simulated exercise environment.
