Our Green Advantage
The Secret – An Energy Saving Culture
A Green Microgym Facility uses 85% less electricity per square foot than traditionally run gyms. Evidence HERE.
Simple is Better
When designing a Green Microgym floor layout, multifunctional equipment with plenty of room for bodyweight exercises is prioritized.
We bring the outside-in with large format nature photography and living walls whenever possible.
Wall-mounted Televisions are Eliminated
Long a symbol of luxury in high-end gyms, TVs are big energy wasters and have become obsolete. A strong wi-fi connection is all anyone needs to stream video and audio content to their phone or tablet.
Refrigerated Vending Machines are Out
In addition to having wasteful plastic bottles, these machines can use a dollar a day in electricity. Better to bring your own water bottle and fill it up from a non-refrigerated drinking fountain.
When Possible, Users Control Climate
Although not practical in every space, the ability for users to control the fans and lighting for different spaces in the gym adds to the user experience (gives them more control) and reduces energy usage.
WELCOME TO THE GREEN MICROGYM
The days of boring gyms with white walls, black rubber floors, and limited ways to get a workout are over. The Green Microgym brings the outside in and creates a comfortable, inspiring space to make the world a better place with your energy.
Treadmills use 30% less electricity, no electricity, or make electricity depending on the model. Ellipticals and Bikes harvest human energy to send electricity right back into the building.
You help power the building.
Bodyweight and flexibility exercises are given top priority and ample space in The Green Microgym.
Our gyms use 85% less electricity and have a carbon footprint 85% lower than traditional gyms per square foot.
They also save money because we spend nothing on cable TV (users can access wi-fi to stream video on phones and tablets), and don’t purchase expensive weight equipment that can only do one movement.
Everything The Green Microgym does contributes to a culture of efficiency – efficient equipment, efficient exercise, and efficient facility systems.
