# Eco-Friendly Workout Stairs The Stair-Scape Terrain Structure Would Be Ideal for Small Parks By Jen Chae | Published 2013-05-17 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecofriendly-gym References: [archinect](http://archinect.com/michael-jantzen/project/the-stair-scape-terrain-structure) & [michaeljantzen](http://www.michaeljantzen.com) The Stair-Scape Terrain Structure by Michael Jantzen models an energy-efficient fitness block where people can climb steps, [roller blade or skateboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qingdao-mixc-rooftop-skatepark) for leisure and workout purposes. The ramp is also wheelchair-friendly. The structure is 110 feet long and has three sections: two for steps and one center section for hill-shaped ramps. The green exterior of the structure would blend well with an outdoor environment. The triangular design of it is intended to symbolize a landscape of hills. It would ideally be situated in a [public park](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-park-sai-sha), in line with new or already-existing paths to save space. That would allow for a never-ending walk on the Stair-Scape even in smaller parks. This [outdoor workout station](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mount-fitness) would require no use of energy; it is 100% eco-friendly. The structure would be built of wood, steel and concrete. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Fitness:** The Stair-Scape Terrain Structure showcases the growing trend of eco-friendly fitness equipment, providing a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to develop sustainable workout solutions. - **Outdoor Workout Stations:** The Stair-Scape Terrain Structure highlights the trend of creating outdoor workout stations in public spaces, presenting a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to develop more engaging and accessible fitness equipment. - **Inclusive Fitness Design:** The Stair-Scape Terrain Structure exemplifies the trend of inclusive fitness design, offering a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to create wheelchair-friendly fitness equipment that caters to a wider range of users. ### Where This Applies - **Fitness Equipment Manufacturing:** The Stair-Scape Terrain Structure points towards a disruptive innovation opportunity for the fitness equipment manufacturing industry to develop eco-friendly and inclusive workout products. - **Park Design and Construction:** The Stair-Scape Terrain Structure presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the park design and construction industry to incorporate more eco-friendly and interactive fitness structures in public spaces. - **Sustainability and Green Building:** The Stair-Scape Terrain Structure highlights a disruptive innovation opportunity for the sustainability and green building industry to collaborate with fitness equipment manufacturers in creating environmentally-friendly workout solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elevated Leisure Habitats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-leisure-habitat.md) - [Dynamic Industrial Outdoor Gyms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outfit.md) - [Space-Saving Exercise Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stair-stepper-climber-sfs021001.md) - [Sloped Timber Skate Ramps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rampitecture.md) - [Muscle Loss-Combating Playground Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playground-bench.md) - [Concrete Spiral Staircase Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadenza.md) - [Terraced Urban Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-park-sai-sha.md) - [Nature-Inspired Rooftop Skateparks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qingdao-mixc-rooftop-skatepark.md) - [Adventure-Based Fitness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mount-fitness.md)
