PARIS — An Italian design firm has unveiled a floating gym that can cruise down the Seine river using the power generated by gym-goers. <br /> <br />The project, known as Paris Navigation Gym, is developed by Carlo Ratti Associati in collaboration with Technogym, Terreform ONE and URBEM. <br /> <br />The gym is a 20-meters-long boat and can host up to 45 people. It is equipped with Technogym’s ARTIS bikes that can harness human energy. The movement generated by the gym-goers are transferred into energy used to propel the gym boat. <br /> <br />According to Carlo Ratti Associati, the gym also contains augmented-reality screens inside that shows the gym-goers of the amount of energy sourced from their workouts. <br /> <br />The gym will inhabit the river all year long and the transparent glass can be opened in the summer to let in the breeze on River Seine. <br /> <br />Although the gym is purely a concept for now, studies show it could be implemented in less than 18 months, reported BreakingNEWS.ie.
