Gym Car Pumps You Up

Tired of sitting in traffic doing glute squeezes to no avail? Wish Carlates provided a better cardio workout? Then check out the Gym Car. This human-electric hybrid packs an entire health club into a single seat.

The cockpit of the Gym Concept is stuffed with exercise machines that charge the batteries and keep that carbon-fiber body (the car’s, not yours) rolling. We have no idea how he did it, but designer Da Feng managed to get a step machine, rowing machine, bench press, pull-up simulator and weights into the car’s tiny confines.

It’s practically a Gold’s Gym but without the Old Joe tank tops.

Feng, a graduate student at Coventry University in Britain, developed the idea for a competition sponsored by P4 Cad Cam, a creative design consultancy and model-making company in England.

The exterior is just as wild as the interior, what with the turbinelike rims, pointed nose and open-wheel suspension that makes it look like a mashup of an F1 car and an F-117A stealth fighter. That’s fitting, because Feng drew his inspiration from World War II fighter planes, according to Diseno-Art.com.

It isn’t clear whether you can actually exercise while driving because that might inhibit your ability to, you know, steer. But who wants to exercise while creeping through the evening commute? Presumably the Gym Car would allow you to escape to a more inspiring locale like, say, the park. Or at least the parking lot at the park.
