Sustainability and environmental protection in the fitness industry - It works!

Categories : Fitness equipment for building fitness and strength , Fitness topics - Questions and answers from the experts

Sustainability and environmental protection are becoming increasingly important issues for companies. On the one hand because it is demanded by consumers, but on the other hand also because of the need to act in a resource-saving way. As the awareness of ecology and sustainability is becoming more and more topical in society, it is also penetrating more strongly into the fitness scene. We would like to show you that this sustainable basic idea can also be implemented there with the ECO-friendly fitness equipment providers NOHrD and SportsArt.

SPORTSART - Fitness equipment that makes the planet more sustainable with every workout

SportsArt is leading the fitness industry in terms of eco-innovation, sustainability, design and quality. The ever-increasing awareness to act in an environmentally friendly way does not stop at the fitness industry. More and more athletes and fitness studios are realising the benefits for themselves and the environment when they act sustainably. The SportsArt ECO lines are a prime example of how fitness training can contribute significantly to a better environment. The ECO-POWR line from the sports equipment supplier has been on the market for several years now. With the cardio equipment, up to 75 % of one's own training energy can be converted into electricity and fed into the power grid either in the studio, in the office or at home.

As The Green Fitness Company, we focus on bringing beautiful, smart, innovative products and technologies to market that play a role in keeping the planet and people healthy.

Is generating electricity via cardio equipment worthwhile?

According to SportsArt, about 160 watts per hour can be generated by using a device from the sustainable ECO-POWR line. The cardio equipment converts human energy into electricity. Thus, 15 indoor bikes operating for three hours a day can produce about 2,592 kilowatt hours (kWh). The average annual household electricity consumption in Switzerland is 5200 kWh. The savings are therefore worthwhile not only for homes, but also for smaller gyms - because they can additionally rely on renewable energies and thus become independent of electricity providers in the future.

NOHrD - fitness equipment made of wood and natural leather

Besides electricity-generating cardio equipment, fitness equipment made of natural materials is also in demand, where the production is as sustainable as possible. At the fitness provider NOHrD, ecology is a real philosophy of life. The aim is not only to make athletes fitter, healthier and stronger, but also to make them aware of issues such as environmental protection and sustainability. Accordingly, the gym equipment and fitness machines at NOHrD are mainly made with wood and other natural materials.

There is no waste!

All wooden fitness equipment ismanufactured by hand in the company's own factory in Germany, but the WaterRower is made in the USA. The combination of classic handwork and precise machine technology ensures constant quality and development. In the production of the WaterRower wood and bark are completely recycled - there is no waste! Non-recyclable residual wood is used in the NOHrD manufacture to generate energy. The company's own solar power is used for production. A responsible approach to our environment is therefore part of everyday life at NOHrD and is deeply anchored in the company's philosophy.

Each piece of training equipment is unique

The solid wood used is obtained without exception from renewable stocks in North America and Germany. Only young and smooth solid core wood is processed. The high-quality wood elements are protectively oiled to prevent dirt and stains. As wood is a natural raw material, it can vary in colour and consistency. Solid wood, for example, darkens over time. This is especially true for cherry wood. The natural leather used is processed by hand. It comes exclusively from Germany. Even high-quality genuine leather can have natural characteristics due to its nature. There are no hides that are flawless. The plant-tanned natural leather at NOHrD remains as natural as possible.That's why every NOHrD training device is unique.
