While considering how to replace the equipment, Athletics &amp; Recreation (A&amp;R) saw a unique opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They could replace the machines with new, comparable ones, or they could take an approach that would further one of the University\u2019s most notable ongoing institutional goals \u2013 affordable and clean energy \u00ad\u2013 with something more innovative: electricity-generating workout machines.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Steven-Chuang.jpeg\" alt=\"Steven Chuang\" class=\"wp-image-350952\" style=\"width:206px;height:206px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/03\/Steven-Chuang.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/03\/Steven-Chuang-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Steven Chuang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The decision was an easy one. While the green machines were comparable in price to traditional equipment, they offered a notable advantage: the value of using human power to reduce emissions on the Keele Campus. \u201cThis is one of the key driving forces that led us to purchase these state-of-the-art machines that can advance our mission towards sustainability, contributing back to the grid and keeping up with our fitness goals, one step at a time,\u201d says <strong>Steven Chuang, <\/strong>executive director for A&amp;R. \"We wanted to ensure that we\u2019re really striving towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and educating students about the value of sustainability.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since August 2023, 42 electricity-generating machines \u2013 which include treadmills and indoor bicycles from green fitness company SportsArt \u2013 have been introduced to the Tait McKenzie Centre, helping York become one of the first universities in Canada to have green workout equipment at that scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The treadmills and bicycles have been plugged into outlets where no energy is drawn and are leveraging the energy generated by users to give back to the University\u2019s power grid. Over the past months, the machines have been working toward the roughly 19,264 kilowatts of energy they can produce per year, which equals roughly 7,700 kettles of water.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/03\/SportsArtYFile-88-scaled-1-1024x662.jpg\" alt=\"York community member on a green bike\" class=\"wp-image-350966\" style=\"width:307px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/03\/SportsArtYFile-88-scaled-1-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/03\/SportsArtYFile-88-scaled-1-400x259.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/03\/SportsArtYFile-88-scaled-1-1536x993.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/03\/SportsArtYFile-88-scaled-1-2048x1324.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>They are expected to save $25,000 over the next five years, as energy produced from workouts follows the path of least resistance to where it\u2019s needed on campus \u2013 whether it\u2019s providing energy to power a clock or an LCD screen. Tait McKenzie, and the machines, even offer a feature where those breaking a sweat on the machines can directly see their contributions to sustainability through a leaderboard display screen that tracks which workout equipment units are producing the most power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving these machines on campus is a model for what can be done for sustainability,\" says <strong>Mike Layton<\/strong>, chief sustainability officer. \"That's what being part of a university is all about \u2013 contributing not only to making the university space better but making a better world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past few months, these machines have made an impact on several users, including staff members. \u201cI smile when I'm on them,\u201d says<strong> Art McDonald<\/strong>,<strong> <\/strong>acting associate director of campus recreation. \u201cIt feels good to use these machines and give back to the planet.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those interested in testing these machines, visit the Tait McKenzie Centre on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and weekends from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Keep an eye out for the green SportsArt logo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tait McKenzie Centre now offers the York community a chance to reduce emissions and power the grid with electricity-generating workout
