Floating Paris gym uses human energy to cruise down the Seine River

Italian architects Carlo Ratti Associati have unveiled a new design for a floating gym powered by human energy.

Designed to meander down the Seine River, the 20-meter-long Paris Navigating Gym would be powered by Technogym‘s revolutionary ARTIS exercise machines, which harvest power generated by the fitness enthusiasts inside.

The 20-meter long floating gym is powered by Technogym's revolutionary ARTIS exercise machines, which harvest human power generated by the motivated gymgoers inside to cruise down the picturesque Seine River.

The transparent glass bubble design of the floating gym vessel was fashioned after the beloved Bateaux Mouches ferry boats that have been carrying tourists on the river since the early 20th century.
