OUR VISION BULK is the first indoor hiking gym in the world. We designed a unique concept to provide urban hikers with an infinity of trails to follow. You can enjoy vast fields of irregular, bulky terrain that requires deep attention and balance to progress on. It keeps you highly focused on your exercise and, with the slope, it will give you a good sweat too. We promise! Our indoor hike park offers three valleys with different degrees of difficulty : Normal, Olympic, Intense. They all combine unpredictable step combinations with an infinite variation of tracks. You can make your own path as you go or you can trust our AI engine and follow the most exciting route patterns. At BULK we love hiking. It is sporty, healthy, social and fun. It reconnects

WALKING FOR 30 MINUTES A DAY IMPROVES YOUR OVERALL HEALTH
THE SCIENCE Hiking on an irregular terrain is an excellent stamina exercise. It improves the heart and lung activity, helps build muscle and control weight, and it strengthens the core and balance. It helps maintain bone density as it is a weight-bearing exercise. Research shows that hiking also has a positive impact on combating the symptoms of stress and anxiety. It triggers positive emotions, like empathy and gratitude and it boosts your mood. As a consequence it contributes to increasing social interactions and cognitive skills. By giving rest to the brain, sustained hiking alleviates mental fatigue and sparks creativity.

And who doesn't love this awesome feeling after a long day on the hike? At BULK we decided to make hiking more accessible. In our busy urban lives, we believe that everyone has the right to enjoy the benefits of hiking anytime.

HOW IT WORKS
With a movement tracking technology and facial recognition, it monitors your progress as you hike on the valley. A 3D video-mapping system projects your route directly on the floor. Via your INFINITRACKTM-app for smartphones, you decide the level of difficulty or the duration and our AI engine does the rest. Follow the color, follow your route! In the app you can store your favorite routes, record your stats and share them with your friends. Check their achievements and give each other kudos! With INFINITRACKTM, pick a new track anytime you want!

"This project was born from the idea of making hiking accessible to everyone. As a fervent hiker myself, I strongly believe that hiking can have an incredible positive impact on people’s lives, on their well-being and on society. It is especially true for dense urban areas where traffic, noise and stress contribute to a general feeling of anxiety and where Nature is the least accessible." "We devised a unique patented concept: indoor hiking valleys animated by an IA route-setting system. It is an absolute world première. Because it is so intuitive and familiar, I am sure that people will adopt it very easily and that they will return…"
FIRST INDOOR HIKING GYM IN THE WORLD
"As this project focuses on the movement of travelling in space, we collaborated with one of the most inspiring Belgian choreographic artists Jeanette Molde. Thanks to her visionary approach, we developed an environment that really enhances the visitor’s spatial experience at BULK. She also intervened with the INFINITRACKTM AI engine to design smooth natural hiking patterns." "BULK is a whole new concept for urban active people looking for a moment of escape. A healthy extremely social activity bringing all the joy of a hike in our busy daily lives!" "I am thrilled to welcome you very soon to our Brussels flagship, and I give you my word that this first indoor hike park is just one step towards opening new markets all over Europe!" Enjoy hiking, enjoy BULK! Laurent
