I had an idea a while ago for gyms that create usable energy by the members. Turns out these actually exist, but I'll do it one better:
Make the gyms free, and have the members pledge to work out a certain amount, hence create a certain amount of energy. If they don't reach their monthly quota, they pay a typical membership fee. It gives people the incentive to work out beyond wanting to be environmentally-responsible, especially because that desire hardly outweighs the desire to finish the work day and not move til the next one begins.
If necessary, these gyms could align themselves with local businesses that would benefit from the generated energy (and the positive PR) and help sponsor the gyms.

Would this mean the lights are powered by people pedaling bikes?
yup. i imagine they could create excess power as well and use it to give back to the community or nearby stores, etc.
