SEATTLE—SportsArt, a global leader in sustainable fitness solutions, announced the launch of its new ECO-POWR Calculator, an interactive tool designed to help fitness facility operators and developers quantify the environmental and operational impact of energy-generating cardio equipment.
Available online at gosportsart.com/eco-powr-calculator/, the tool allows users to input key facility data, such as equipment mix and usage patterns, and receive an estimate of how much electricity their facility could generate and how that energy can offset overall consumption.
Data-Driven Sustainability for Fitness Operators
With sustainability becoming a key performance metric for modern fitness and recreation spaces, the ECO-POWR Calculator provides operators with a practical way to model ROI, energy savings, and environmental benefits before investing in equipment. By translating workouts into watts, the tool helps facilities:
- Estimate electricity generation potential;
- Visualize energy cost offsets;
- Support sustainability reporting and LEED-related initiatives; and
- Engage members through measurable impact metrics.
Turning Workouts into Measurable Impact
The calculator builds on SportsArt’s patented ECO-POWR technology, which captures human energy during exercise and converts it into utility-grade electricity. Using an integrated micro-inverter, the equipment feeds this energy directly back into a facility’s electrical grid in real time, reducing net energy use and supporting sustainability goals.
ECO-POWR equipment can capture a significant portion of user-generated energy (up to approximately 74 percent) transforming cardio workouts into a renewable power source for fitness facilities.
From treadmills and ellipticals to cycles and steppers, the ECO-POWR line enables facilities to reduce their carbon footprint while engaging users in a more meaningful workout experience, where every session contributes to measurable environmental impact.
Executive Perspective
“Today’s operators are looking for more than just high-performance equipment, they want solutions that align with their sustainability goals and deliver measurable value,” said Ruben Mejia, Executive Vice President of SportsArt Americas. “The ECO-POWR Calculator gives facilities a clear, data-driven view of how human energy can be transformed into real-world impact. It’s a powerful way to demonstrate that every workout can contribute to something bigger through reduced energy consumption, lowered carbon footprints, and the creation of more sustainable fitness spaces.”
