10 Things to Consider When Buying intelligent power generation fitness equipment

Exercise is so weird. We have to block off time, put on special clothes, and invest in expensive equipment or a gym membership just so we can possibly live long enough to see a colony on Mars. But the benefits of regular exercise are compelling, so most of us make at least some effort to stay fit, and with so many of us still working from home at least some of the time, the home gym remains a pretty popular option.

All that effort results in a healthier you, so it’s not wasted time—and yet your workout could be a more efficient experience. For one thing, you could be reading or even doing your job while pedaling an exercise bike. For another, you could make your home gym a more sustainable one by generating electricity while you work out.

Power your laptop while you exercise

Power-generating gym equipment is all the rage these days. Gold’s Gym recently opened the first LEED-Platinum commercial gym space in Berlin, where a supply of “Boost Bikes” generate electricity while members use them. And other companies have sprung up to supply commercial gyms with power-generating equipment. Off the Grid offers a commercial spinning bike that sends power to the grid, and The Great Outdoor Gym Company offers a twist on the concept with its Energy Range outdoor gym equipment designed for outdoor use.

But power-generating exercise equipment isn’t just something that can benefit society at large—it can also benefit you. If you’re in the market for home gym equipment anyway, buying power-generating models means you get the workout you’re looking for, plus you can generate some electricity. This can save you money by reducing your overall utility bill (if you feed that power back to the grid) or by charging devices while you work out. Since it’s an activity you’re going to be doing anyway, it’s a win-win.

For example, Acer’s eKinect BD3 bike desk can generate 75 watts of electricity in an hour (assuming you’re pedaling steadily at 60 RPM). That might not seem like much (you’re not powering your whole house that way), but it’s enough to charge your and laptop.

If you’re looking for a more comprehensive home gym that can power up your life, SportsArt’s Eco-Powr line includes power-generating treadmills, cross-trainers, ellipticals, upright, recumbent, and indoor cycles, rowers, and steppers. The company states that you can generate an average of 160 watts while using their machines.

You're probably already familiar with the saying, 'Don't reinvent the wheel.' It's an idiom that reminds us not to waste time trying to improve something that's already been done successfully. Humans have used wheels for around 4,000 years, so it's a fair comment, but it's not to say that the wheel hasn't benefitted from technological advances, and the humble stationary bike is no exception. 

Historians hotly debate the origins of the first exercise bike. Early iterations can be traced back to the late 18th century, and we know that in , there were static bikes on the Titanic. Later came foldable exercise bikes for the home and then bikes offering basic metrics like heart rate and calorie burn.  Static cycling changed again in the late s when indoor cycling bikes were introduced to studios. These were designed with heavier flywheels to help replicate the feel of road racing.

Technology has made a notable mark on these indoor fitness bikes. Riders can now access data and receive feedback on their performance or calculate functional threshold power or FTP. They can also follow live-stream classes on integrated screens, smartphones, and tablets and use digital resistance. Now, riders at home and in the gym can also generate clean electricity.
