Bus takes fitness on the road
A London gym is transforming buses into mobile spin-class studios, lending a new twist to 'static' exercise bikes…It's raining out and you can't go for your morning run – bummer. But what if the bus you take into work had a mobile spin studio inside? You could kill two birds with one stone!
A boutique gym in London called 1Rebel is planning to transform a fleet of buses into high-intensity mobile spin studios. These buses will stop at four different points and finish up at the main 1Rebel studio gym, where exercisers can take a shower and prepare for work.
The bus drew its inspiration from the 1Rebel gym's popular spin program, RIDE.
The concept doesn't yet have sign-off from the British government but the punters seem keen, with nearly 10,000 already on the waiting list to join.
A few questions do, however, come to mind… Would other motorists be distracted by a bus-load of people sweating it out in a spin class? And just how much additional power could the bus generate with the addition of 20 or so electric exercise bikes? And lastly, would something like this work in Australia?
