1. A system comprising:
a user receiving device to receive a user;
a force applying unit in communication with the user receiving device, the force applying unit including:
a first support operatively coupled to a base that is deployable on a surface that is substantially perpendicular to a gravity vector, the first support extending vertically relative to the surface when the base is deployed on the surface, and
a second support operatively coupled to the first support and substantially perpendicular to the first support, the second support being in communication with the user receiving device and being vertically moveable relative to the base to provide at least one of a positive force or a negative force to the user receiving device in a direction substantially parallel to the gravity vector, wherein the second support remains substantially perpendicular to the first support during vertical movement of the second support relative to the base; and
a mobility arrangement in communication with the base and configured for allowing movement of the user together with the user receiving device and the force applying unit in multiple degrees of freedom defined by: i) forward/backward, ii) left/right, and iii) 360-degree rotation about a yaw axis parallel to the gravity vector,
wherein the movement of the user allowed by the mobility arrangement is unrestricted by the system.
