  • SportsArt equipment can help your facility capture green incentives in your location and boost your bottom line!

  • Each state and many utility companies, counties and municipalities offer incentives for demonstrating energy savings and/or innovative energy saving technologies. Some programs recognize energy savings for a whole facility or building while others focus on building retrofits or equipment replacement. SportsArt equipment can be part of a green strategy in many ways! 

1. Attract New Members

The way we shop for food, goods and services have changed drastically over the last decade, especially when it comes to millenials. Millenials are on the look out for brands who have ideologies and business practices that align with there personal beliefs. With 73% of this generation willing to pay more for a brand that is sustainable, going green with ECO-POWR is a great way to attract a new segment of clientel.

 

2. Reduce Energy Costs

ECO-POWR is a great way to offset energy costs. By producing energy rather than consuming energy users are able to lower their own cardon footprints while lowering your gyms usage rates. EcoGym UK is the first green circle cirtified gym in the world and with 6 pieces of equipment were able to reduce their energy usage by 8% over a 6 month period of time.

In California, Jose Avina of Sacramento Eco Fitness was able to reduce their monthly energy bill from $680 to just $38 with the use of 14 G510 indoor cycles. Now imagine a whole gym of treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals...what would that energy bill look like?

 

3. Financial Incentive

Every state has a variety of clean energy incentives to encourage comapanies and corporations to start thinking about sustainable business practices. These incentives go to the federal level and even down to the community basis. Using Washington State for as an example, here are a few of the state leve incentives a green gym could be eligible for if they were to utilize energy prducing ECO-POWR equipment.
