Pedal power that creates
electricity is creating quite a buzz at GO GREEN FITNESS!
Using new patent-pending technology developed by a Connecticut
company
called The Green Revolution; it is the first program of its kind
to convert
people energy from cycling workouts into clean and renewable
energy.
How the Technology Works
The entire group cycling studio’s indoor cycles are connected
to the GO GREEN FITNESS electrical grid, so that fitness energy
can be used to power all aspects of the facility. A performance
monitor is fitted to each bike’s handlebar allowing the rider
to control resistance level during a workout.
This innovative technology harnesses electricity from your workout
and helps to reduce carbon emissions and lowers the community’s
demand for fossil fuel-based energy. Any excess electricity generated
from GO GREEN FITNESS has the potential to return to the power
grid for others in the community to use. Each participant will
be able to control their individual renewable energy output.
GO GREEN FITNESS will be able to track the total energy that
is produced through exercise on the GO GREEN FITNESS web site:

A typical group cycling class with about 20 bikes has the potential
to produce up to 3.6
megawatts (3,600,000 watts) of renewable energy a year. This
is equivalent to the amount of power needed to light 72 homes
for a month while also reducing carbon emissions by over 5,000
pound.
