At a minimum, one would hope that the gyms themselves are not net consumers of energy! Seems like they would have some incentives to buy equipment that helped them cut their electric bills. Instead, I would expect that most equipment currently draws power from the wall socket... But suppose you're a gym owner... What do you do? I suppose that's the place to start: can you buy exercise equipment that generates power? What changes to the wiring are required to capture the generated power? What's the cost benefit? Seems like you could get some good publicity, for a start!
I suppose I should have read the initial article...
