First Bike-Powered Fitness Center in Massachusetts
The technology to capture energy generated by people working out on exercise equipment has been around for years. I read about eco-pioneers who would bike in order to watch TV, probably at least 20 or 25 years ago.
Yet even in very green-conscious Massachusetts, it’s taken until now for a fitness center to use the power its members generate.
Congrats to Energia, of my own town of Hadley, MA, for being the first partially human-powered fitness center in the state (and one of only 70 in all of North America, to get with the program (pun intended).

Thanks for sharing this, Shel. A lot of people offer spin classes locally, but the fact that the cycles here help generate the electricity would make this my first choice.
