The Green Microgym is located in the Alberta Arts district of Northeast Portland and is one of the few fitness facilities in the world running off it’s own energy. What makes this Microgym green? First of all it’s called “micro” for reason, the small gym size conserves space and their treadmills use 30% less energy than regular treadmills.
Plus the bikes and solar panels generate power for the facility. The flooring is made from recycled rubber and eco-friendly cork flooring. So if you’re in the Portland area, go checkout the Green Microgym.
