kinetic energy powered gym.

Treadmill, stair stepper, free wheel bikes, resistance bands, and weights that all contribute to producing the necessary energy to keep the lights on. Convert your power in real time. Pair with the net zero app.

I actually had this idea back when I was working out at the YMCA in West Grove, Pennsylvania as a teenager. It felt like such a waste to have everyone expending so much energy. It felt so static. It also felt unnatural and senseless to use so much electricity to run on a treadmill. Now that fitness bands/watches are widespread I think we can all do without the touchscreens and embrace the physical environment.
