It makes sense. You don't need a ton of energy-sucking machines to get a good workout. We are machines. You power your workout. The energy bar you just ate powers the ceiling fan for the next three hours. Another person's morning scramble is doing its part to keep the lights on. Every revolution is churning pure electricity back to the building. Calories are converted into precious watts.
You power your gym. Friends and neighbors, sweating it out together, all in the name of feeling good, about themselves, about their community, about their gym and about the World. The Green Microgym (and our products and services) is not the solution to the world energy crisis. It's simply a much better way to exercise. You get the same workout on equipment you recognize, with the bonus of knowing your energy isn't wasted - just the opposite.
It's being used to help power the building. This is a small part of a much larger solution. Though you can't power your house on a workout a day, the potential of human power is not in measuring how much electricity our bodies can make, but in finding ways to live more sustainable lives, and create a more sustainable culture.

The Green Microgym and Plugout Technology were invented by Adam Boesel, a school teacher turned personal trainer who started up his first gym in Portland, Oregon in 2008.
While writing a business plan for his gym, he thought, "Wouldn't it be great if the members could make electricity when they are exercising?"
He found that although there was a lot of speculation and experimentation about the idea, no one had started up a gym with Eco Fitness as their central focus.
He assumed finding electricity generating exercise equipment would be relatively easy, so he ordered a Pedal A Watt and came into contact with Mike Tagget from Human Dynamo.

Combine Movement Breaks, STEM, and Sustainability Education into any K-12 classroom in an engaging, interactive, innovative way.
In 2016, the first Green Read and Ride Program was installed in a rural Michigan classroom.
Since then, schools and districts around the country have purchased one or more bikes for their classrooms, STEM programs, and Occupational Therapy programs.
If your students need more movement in their day, these bikes will provide it without necessarily taking away any instructional time.

All of the components for this bike and the electronics are meant go together as simply as possible.
Most of the adjustments and repairs for the bike can be done by anyone with some experience with bikes.
When kids are pedaling, make sure they are starting slowly - not sprinting from a complete stop (this can make the inverter fail to give resistance and eventually damage the inverter).
2. The inverter is in a bag - feel free to keep it in the bag or remove it when in use.
There is a possibility that it being in the bag could restrict airflow to the inverter, but to date, this has not been a problem.

Purchase our equipment for your event or permanent location.
Whether you're providing a movement break in a waiting area, or attracting and keeping the attention of prospects at an event, we can help you make that happen.
We take an electricity generating gym-quality exercise bike and rebrand it to become a user-friendly phone and tablet charging station that can be set up anywhere there's a wall outlet.
As you pedal, your effort charges the device through a USB port, while the excess electricity created helps power the building via a standard outlet.
