This is a gymnasium in which animals provide the workout for you. Instead of dodgeball, I think a much more spirited, vigorous workout could be had if the object was to dodge dung flung by chimpanzees. Rather than pulling against stationary weights for strength training, tug-of-war with Great Danes,
Rottweilers,
Mastiffs and Irish Wolfhounds provides a more engaging, entertaining workout.
Try to catch the spider monkey that stole your keys or cellphone in the simulated jungle section which consists of nothing but hundreds of ropes hanging above an olympic-size swimming pool. If you fall in, try to avoid being dragged under by the trained dolphins. For the truly tough guys out there, there's wrestling with gorillas.
In the mood for a nice run, but lack motivation? No problem! Being sprayed with chicken blood and chased by a pair of Dobermans ought to provide all the motivation you need. Or are you more in the mood for a relaxing, zen-like experience? Let the sloths be your guide to dangling in tranquility...
Along the same lines as...

I like this idea. Gyms are just too boring. Having an actual goal (like living through the session) would be a helpful motivator. And I would have fun chasing a monkey that stole my keys. |

But not in a controlled environment for the purpose of exercise,
which is why the summary bar says "Harness the power of nature". |

The description could be a script for a new /City Slickers/ sequel |

Being disembowelled is one way to lose weight, I suppose. |

A pound of flesh, no more, no less. |

cute + but I would also like to see some *jungle* environment, like palm trees, exotic plants and waterfalls! |
|
| |
No gorillas, please. Like chimps, they fight dirty. It's almost like pancration. |
|
| |
Of course it would have a jungle theme, Xan. Complete with custard
pits simulating quicksand. |
|

Stop it now.
You're panicking the Sloths. |

Very similar principle, FT, on a grander scale and in a controlled environment with more variety. |
