1. An exercise system comprising:
- a partial enclosure, adapted to receive a user, having a base with one or more first mechanical mounting sockets;
a controller having a set of controller instructions embodying an interactive game for motivating users of the exercise system;
a game appropriate exercise device selected from a plurality of different exercise devices, said exercise device having one or more first mechanical mounting fixtures and one or more second mechanical mounting sockets, at least one of said first mechanical mounting fixtures releasably engaging a respective first mechanical mounting socket during exercise; and
a game appropriate theme element selected from a plurality of different theme elements, said theme element having one or more second mechanical mounting fixtures, at least one of said second mechanical mounting fixtures releasably engaging a respective second mechanical mounting socket during exercise wherein the plurality of said exercise devices consist of a bicycle, a treadmill, a stepping machine, a kayak and a punching bag, the plurality of theme elements consist of an aircraft control panel device and a rifle device, said exercise devices each include an exercise device attribute module, an exercise device sensor and a biometric sensor, each theme element includes a theme element attribute module, a theme element transducer, and the controller is in signal communication with the exercise device sensor, the biometric sensor, the theme element transducer and a man-machine interface for creating an environment within the partial enclosure that is responsive to a user'"'"'s operation of the selected exercise device and the selected theme element.

Abstract
The present invention provides an exercise system including an exercise device and an interactive game environment. An enclosure receives an exercise device and the exercise device receives a theme element. Sensors, transducers, and a man-machine interface are interconnected by a controller which operates sensory stimulators in response to controller instructions and user, sensor, and transducer signals. Game play is influenced by a user'"'"'s exercise performance and in an embodiment a first exercise system user competes with a remote second exercise system user utilizing a wide area network that interconnects the controllers of the two exercise systems.
