abstract = {Exercise games (exergames) gamify the activity of exercising and are a growing trend with a corresponding growing online community and culture. The hugely popular recent Ring fit Adventure exemplifies this and enables study of player's perceptions of the game and themselves in relation to exergaming and its community. We focus on a subreddit /r/RingFitAdventure. Topics ranging from social influences to design features are discovered. The implications of those topics to a variety of gamification notions are analyzed and discussed. The findings can facilitate and inspire future gamification design and research.},
