Many more members of the inner city workforce would be motivated to exercise throughout the day if the activity could be made more convenient. The My Lane mobile shower presents a solution to the problem of post-workout sanitation by welcoming people into its facilities before they head back to the office.
Essentially, the jogger's Johnny on the Spot proposal offers the public a place to de-sweat, optimally located in downtown parks. In order to prevent this sort of setup from becoming a site for sketchy activity, designer Pierandrei Associati suggests a secure system of members-only entry. For anyone active enough to circle the gardens in sneakers or on a bike before 9am or at lunch time, the My Lane mobile shower is a place where she can go to refresh, when her own workplace hasn't the amenities for her.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Convenient Post-workout Sanitation
- Opportunities exist for businesses to create convenient and secure spaces for people to clean up after exercise in urban areas, such as mobile shower facilities in downtown parks.
- Members-only Access
- There is a potential trend for providing members-only access to post-workout sanitation facilities in order to ensure safety and prevent misuse.
- Incorporating Fitness Into Daily Routines
- As people look for ways to incorporate fitness into their daily routines, businesses can seize the opportunity to provide convenient and accessible options for post-workout sanitation.
Sectors Adopting This
- Fitness Centers
- Fitness centers could incorporate mobile shower facilities, allowing people to exercise during work hours and have a place to clean up before returning to the office.
- Urban Parks
- Urban parks could implement secure mobile shower facilities to encourage more people to exercise during lunch breaks and have access to post-workout sanitation.
- Co-working Spaces
- Co-working spaces could differentiate themselves by offering members access to post-workout sanitation facilities, making it more convenient for people to work and exercise in the same location.
