fitness equipment


What if the fitness equipment that is constantly used at the gym could generate power to run the facility? The answer to that question is actually a reality today! There is a company that provides fitness centers with the technology to power their own facilities.

You may be wondering just how this works. The gym members create the energy. As you use the fitness equipment the energy is harnessed and instantaneously sent back into the fitness center. This is done with cables and transmission lines. The main unit is no bigger than two desktop computers. Nothing needs to change in the set up of the gym fitness equipment. You can view the amount of electricity you have produced on a monitor in real time.

Currently, the only piece of fitness equipment using the technology is the elliptical machine. Soon it will expand to all exercise machines in the gym. This way of powering a gym is a step forward in our "green conscious" society of today. It makes for better health of the gym members and the planet as well!
