After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.
Unlike regular gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, standalone rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.
Every foursquaremeter room is equipped with a treadmill(跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains for privacy.When exercising, users can listen to music, watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill.There’s no shower or washbasin.
Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by smartphone application, book a room in advance and then need to scan (扫描) a QR code for use.A refundable deposit (保证金) of 99 yuan is required, and users are charged 0.2 yuan per minute.
The shared gym rooms are created by Misspao, a Beijingbased technology company founded in July.Within two weeks since it was founded, the company has already got two rounds of funding valued over 100 million yuan, Yicai Global reports.The idea of the shared fitness experience is not entirely nascent.Last December, the Shanghaibased technology company VRUN set up shared treadmills in office and apartment buildings.
The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China.According to Yicai Global, confident investors are pouring millions into sharing startups.In March, the State Information Center published a report which predicts that the total value of China’s sharing economy will see a yearly growth of 40% in the coming years, and it is expected to contribute around 10% to the country’s GDP by 2022.
