ABOUT THIS VIDEO
"Big results. Small footprint." That's the motto of Portland's Green
Microgym. When founder and work-out enthusiast Adam Boesel decided to
build a gym for Portland-area residents, he knew that going green would
greatly benefit his clients and staff, while bringing about substantial
savings that would help keep membership fees low. Well, Adam sure didn't cut any
corners. When we say "green", we're talking about a very dark shade of
green-- think emerald! Adam opted for eco-friendly options in all areas
of the gym, so clients can feel relaxed knowing that everything from
the soaps to the marmoleum flooring is free of harmful toxins. But
clients have something even bigger to smile about: As they workout on
the gym's machines, the energy expended is trapped and re-routed as
electricity to run machines, televisions, laptops and other electrical
products in the gym. Brilliant idea? We think so! And can you believe
that the Green Microgym has franchise opportunities?! DIG DEEPER

- When you workout, bring your own reusable water bottle that's made out of stainless steel, especially on the inside. By doing this, you will avoid exposing yourself to the harmful chemicals that can leach out of plastic bottles.
- Whether you workout at one of Portland's Green Microgyms or some other
gym, always be sure to choose active wear that's made out of organic
and/or sustainable fabrics that will reduce your body's exposure to
toxins. Every day, more and more clothes are being made from
alternative, green materials. Brands such as Patagonia, LuLuLemon and Gaiam offer organic cotton and alternative fiber blends, including seaweed!
