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.

- maurice12년 이상I think that is an interesting thing. I wonder how they figured out how to harness human energy? That must of taken a while to figure out. Another reason i think that's interesting is because i think that it would be a motivator for larger people because if they want to watch TV they will have to work out. They should figure out how to do that with cars so you wont have too use that much gas.
pegasus12년 이상This is a good article about energy.- Lilly Montana12년 이상This should happen to many other gyms because most gyms use energy from power plants. Not many use the energy their members use. They have to use solar for like the air conditioning and lights. It would be cool if they had these types of gyms where i live. The Green Micro Gym place is really smart for doing this idea. It's good that their going to open up a new place.
- tman12년 이상if this was practical which it isn't this idea is as good as walking 100 miles barefoot. the idea states that people work for there for power so when the place closes it has no running power. this could cause radical heat change within the complex and some security guards to pass out due to dehydration and the extreme temperature of the complex. the owners also strip the exerciser of there free rights in america. we have the right to not pedal on a thing all day so they could power stuff the idea is unconventional and crude i mean man power is an horrible way of powering a complex and doing other unconventional things to power items it also undermines the studies of Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin and Winston Churchill.
- Macy12년 이상I think this is interesting. It is amazing how we can figure out how to power something with something else. This is also cool because it motivates the person to work out more and longer. The only thing i don't like is how you can be helping your body but hurting your brain. My favorite part is how i can watch my favorite show without my mom nagging me to get exercise.

- Ariannah W12년 이상This is a very good way to exercise. Also a good way to save energy. I hope more gyms do this. It is very good for the environment! I wonder who thought of this and why? It will encourage people to exercise and help the planet. Maybe this will make people want to go to the gym.
- joebo12년 이상this is crazy what if the could store up the energy and power the whole building, or can they already do that?
- Abby!!!!!!!!!!!12년 이상I think this idea is kind of... COOL! It gives you a great work out but still, you can watch TV at the same time!!! Now how cool is that. This idea spectacularly MARVELOUS! But my question is, is what are they going to pay for this great idea and are they going to want to pay it?
- Aryanna L.12년 이상They are very creative. First, it would be a good idea to make people push themselves if they wanted to charge there phone or listen to music. They could also power a television if they worked in a group. Next, it would be cool to see how much energy you could make to power a TV or phone. it would be nice to see other people help the environment. Then, it would make the bigger people who just sit around go to the gym to watch TV and exercise. Maybe then there won't be as many over weighted people. That's why i think it is very creative.
- Kenan12년 이상I think this is a smart idea.so if couch potatoes can get up and go to this gym. they can earn there TV. by the right amount of exercise..
