Eine aktuelle Interpretation durch den Mensch Energie selbst zu erzeugen bieten, Architekt Mitchell Joachim und Personaltrainer Douglas. Joachim. Sie haben mit erstaunlichem Stil und viel Phantasie ein futuristisches Fitnessstudio namens River Gym entworfen.
Das Konzept des River Gyms beruht auf der Idee, dass die Boote mit Hilfe von menschlich produzierter Energie bestimmte Fahrpläne im New York City abfahren können. Hierbei können die produzierenden Sportler ständig die verändernden Panoramaausblicke genießen. Die Boote bieten auch Platz für die Nichtsportler, denn die Boote dienen zur gleichen Zeit auch als Transportmittel. Ein weiterer ökologischer Aspekt wäre das Boot auch zur Wasseraufbereitung zu nutzen.(2)
