ECO-FRIENDLY GYMS: PRIORITIZING HUMAN AND PLANET HEALTH

If you own or manage a gym or fitness center, it’s time to get serious about sustainability. The younger generation of today cares about climate change, the planet and who they do business with. They seek out products and services that are green and socially responsible. If you want to become a stand out, eco-friendly gym, there are many ways to adjust and improve your current practices.

ODESSA, FLA.—Green Lodging News has added SportsArt to the Fitness Equipment section of its Green Product & Service Directory. As the green fitness company, SportsArt believes movement is energy and that our human energy can make the planet more sustainable—one workout at a time. SportsArt’s mission is to create superior fitness equipment that helps people find their best selves while being as environmentally friendly as possible.

SportsArt, a green fitness brand that develops sustainable gym equipment, introduced an addition to its energy producing ECO-POWR line, the ECO-POWR Elite Series. This new compact gym equipment has the same build quality and ECO-POWR technology as the original Status Line, while designed to accommodate smaller fitness spaces like those seen in boutique gyms, hotels, and multi-family housing.

As a concept, sustainability focuses on meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. The concept of sustainability is composed of three pillars: economic, environmental, and social (also referred to as the three P's: profits, planet, and people).

Andrew Karr’s 9-month-old son, Arthur, is learning to walk and talk. Andrew is now relearning those same skills after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome in December. What started as a persistent cough led to pneumonia, causing his body to attack his nervous system. The new dad spent three weeks at Methodist Hospital in Omaha, very weak and struggling with coordination.
