Not all exercise equipment needs to be plugged into the wall. Some exercise machines produce electricity to power the machine while the user exercises on the machine. Here’s news of two products: The SportsArt Fitness S770 Pinnacle Trainer (their Self-Generating equipment line) and the new Green System – which produces electricity not only to power the exercise equipment – but it also feeds excess electricity produced from exercising back out into the main electricity power grid. A first of its kind in this age of sustainability and energy conservation – whether at home or at the gym.
The SportsArt Fitness S770 Pinnacle Trainer continues the “greening-up” of exercise equipment, producing its own power to run the machine for exercising at a gym or at home.
SportsArt Fitness, a world-wide exercise equipment manufacturer has announced a novel Green System with a “pod” of fitness products attached to an inverter that harnesses human-generated power from exercisers – and feeds it back into the electric grid as useable energy. While people exercise on the equipment at clubs and gyms, they are literally converting their exercise energy into electricity that is sent to the power grid. The Green System is for health club owners who want to offset power costs with human energy. The system will be sold in pods of up to eight products per inverter to gyms and health clubs. Savings for fitness clubs and gyms of approximately $3,000 a year on electricity bills, they’d be a fool not to jump on this!
Additionally, SportsArt offers a line of completely self-generating ellipticals and cycles that require no outside power source to operate.
“The combination of our ECO-POWRT treadmill motors and our Green System ellipticals and cycles will save facilities thousands in energy costs,” Ken Carpenter, Director of Sales for SportsArt Fitness said. “We welcome the entire industry to become more eco-conscience as we will continue to invest heavily into this crucial green initiative.”

The rest of us can rest assured that opting for one of these babies, as opposed to a traditional model, is saving us money, doing right by the earth, and making our buns tight all at the same time.
