There are so many amazing ideas to save energy at the moment that it’s almost impossible to believe we haven’t already saved the planet. So, right up there with the nightclub powered by dancers, comes the human-powered gym.

As members pedal on stationary bicycles, a small motor connected to the stations charges batteries that power the gym’s television and stereo system.

Boesel said he doesn’t yet have a way to quantify the output but knows that at the moment it’s relatively small. However, this is just the beginning, he said.

"Our goal is to someday create 100 percent of the electricity we use in the gym," Boesel said. "The short-term goal is to get all of the electricity we can out of the machines."
