A
t SportsArt, we noticed a gap in sustainability in gyms and recreation- al facilities. Because of this, we created an entire line of fitness equip- ment that not only reduces energy consumption, but actually produc-
es it. Our ECO-POWR line does this by taking human energy created during a workout and turning it into utility grade electricity–up to 200 watts per hour per machine. We are seeing more and more facility managers seek our products to either
break into the sustainability movement or to enhance their already existing green initiatives. Many people today, especially millennial gym-goers, take the time to find a gym that utilizes these types of sustainable practices since prob- lems such as global warming are so prevalent in today’s world. By providing consumers, gyms, hotels and apartments the option to use
sustainable fitness equipment, users in turn feel better about themselves be- cause they are reducing their carbon footprints and making an actual change. Sustainable fitness equipment is not considered the norm yet, mainly because it’s a very new concept. This makes our users feel ahead of the curve, since they are the early adaptors to what will eventually be a fitness phenomenon. In the long run, our users feel like they’re making a difference in the tra-
jectory of the earth, and they have a sense of return on investment. Since our ECO-POWR equipment captures up to 74 percent of the energy being produced and returns it to the electrical grid, gyms and facilities save money since the equipment actually provides electricity that they do not have to pay for. Reducing carbon footprints, being early adopters and saving money are just
a few ways SportsArt makes its buyers feel like VIPs. Through our phenomenal customer service and smooth installation process, we ensure that everyone we work with enjoys the buying process as well.
