Company description
Fit for Green upgrades commercial gym equipment such as elliptical trainers and stationary bikes. These upgrades transform the gym equipment into electricity generators and facilitate the measurement of users as they exercise. After their workouts, users connect to our Facebook application which then allows them to compete and compare across social groups by using data such as calories burned, and watts generated. Our goal is to make working out on ordinary gym equipment more interactive and rewarding by returning energy to the grid and competing with peers through modern social networking.
