"Healthy clean energy" may soon become a catch-phrase used around the world. Businesses spanning multiple sectors and countries have begun to integrate exercise equipment as a means of generating electricity into their business plans.

According to Time, there are over 80 locations in North America that generate electric power from the sweat of their customers.
