While it may not appear to be so - Thanks to all the equipment and television screens, not to mention the bright lights, constant air-conditioning or heating, gyms are big energy users - A little ironic when you consider how much energy people expand whilst working out. Though there has been some sporadic attempts to harness the energy, nobody has taken it to the level of Portland-based Green Microgym.

            Wow,totally amazing, But what would happen if It was raining, I mean, like what if it had a battery shortage and maybe catch on fire? But I digress. Seriously, like, I need to shake the hand of that person that invented it. Really great.

              This is a tv watchers dream. Usually they out of shape too. It's crazy That everybody exercised on bike it would generate enough energy for 10 times the amount it needs. It's cool that they thought of that.

                I thought this article was amazing. How could they get the energy from peddling a bike to start and watch a TV. It is really amazing how they can do that. This is also a good way to save energy and to get exercise too. I hope that these could one day be in every gym in The U.S.

                  Wow i can't believe that there is a machine that harness raw energy from humans. I hope that it comes here it must cost a lot of money to make that why haven't other gyms it's smart that they make people create energy plus solar panels

                    Gyms are big energy users? I can understand that now, but with our generation, our people don't regularly put down their gaming controller, to go run a mile, although i'm not sure what it's like in Portland. But, I do admit that this was a very smart idea, and i'm glad at least someone is trying to help our planet. One thing that troubled me though, is I do go to the gym sometimes, and as a kid, I don't know if it would take more energy to make the electricity, than I could offer, unless it's like how little energy LED lights use. Is there another workout machine that, we could somehow use our own energy to power it? Maybe a treadmill?

                      I wish there was a gym like that in in Arizona. That would be amazing. To see, and try that would be a great challenge if you where to be a Personal Trainer or a coach to try with you team. It also tests your fast abilities and how fast you can move
