Portland, Oregon does it again...
By generating electricity and conserving space and energy, The Green Microgym is one of the only fitness facilities in the world running on some of its own power. We've opened a gym in Portland, Oregon that uses a combination of solar and human power and is just as comfortable and effective as any other gym.
Fifteen Ways the Gym is Green:
Our SportsArt EcoPowr Treadmills use 30% less electricity than others
Our solar panels generate an average of 8 Kilowatt Hours per day
The Team Dynamo and Spin Bikes can collectively generate up to 350 watts continuous
We are working on ways to capture the excess energy from our elliptical trainers
We have recycled rubber, marmoleum, and eco-friendly cork flooring
Our ceiling fans are EnergyStar rated
All of our lights are compact fluorescents
Our televisions are LCD TV's which use less electricity than plasmas
Our lights, televisions, and ceiling fans are member controlled, so they will only be on when needed.
We have double flush toilets
We use non-toxic soaps and cleaning supplies
The paper towels and toilet seat covers in the bathrooms are made from recycled content
Our personal trainers often take their clients outside for workouts
We feature work from local artists in the gym
We have automated our payment and billing systems to reduce paper usage
