The first energy producing cycling studio
Con un amor por todo lo físico y un profundo aprecio por el medio ambiente, José Avina estaba buscando una manera de casarse con sus pasiones y no solo hacer un impacto en la vida de las personas, sino también un impacto en la comunidad que lo rodea. La solución: un estudio de cycling sostenible que transformó los entrenamientos en potencia utilizable.

TODO LO QUE HACEMOS, CADA MOVIMIENTO QUE HACEMOS, TODO PASO QUE DAMOS ES LA ENERGÍA CINÉTICA QUE SE ESTÁ PRODUCIENDO. ¿POR QUÉ NO APROVECHAR LA ENERGÍA? ¿POR QUÉ NO PRODUCIR ENERGÍA LIMPIA CON ESO?

Energy savings
Sacramento Eco Fitness operates with the goal to power itself entirely and to one day produce enough electricity to power nearby businesses. To accomplish their energy production goals, the team created an ecosystem for sustainability within their facility using large skylights along with energy efficient LED’s to brighten up the gym and their cycling class, which incorporates 14 G510 Indoor Cycles, turns human energy into usable electricity.
The power from the cycles is fed into an Enphase battery system which stores the electricity, for later use, to power the lights, charge cell phones and any other energy needs. Solar panels installed on the roof of Sacramento Eco Fitness also feed into the battery system to aid in powering the facility.
ONE CYCLING CLASS PRODUCES ENOUGH ENERGY TO RUN TWO FRIDGES FOR A DAY.
OUR ELECTRICITY BILL WENT FROM $680 A MONTH DOWN TO $30.
