Negli ultimi anni, con la rapida crescita dell'industria del fitness, il suo impatto negativo sull'ambiente è diventato più evidente. Soprattutto durante l'epidemia, il mondo ha consumato tante risorse per stimolare l'economia. Molte persone hanno visto la possibilità e la necessità di costruire un'economia resiliente a basse emissioni di carbonio e raggiungere questo obiettivo richiede una trasformazione economica più ampia. L'economia circolare come un modo per realizzare questa visione, è più importante che mai. Questa ricerca spiega la relazione tra l'industria del fitness e l'economia circolare ed esplora la possibilità di un progetto di prodotti e sistemi che combini fitness e attività all'aperto verdi (come la semina e il giardinaggio). Per studiare questo argomento sono stati adottati diversi metodi di ricerca. Nella fase iniziale, attraverso la ricerca sul tavolo, capisco il valore economico del fitness e l'impatto negativo del fitness tradizionale sull'ambiente. Quindi, attraverso casi di studio e interviste agli utenti, vengono confrontati i vantaggi e i limiti delle diverse palestre. Nella fase intermedia sono stati utilizzati metodi come indagini sul campo, osservazioni, mappe di viaggio e interviste. Questi sforzi mirano a definire le sfide dell'innovazione e le linee guida per la progettazione di prodotti e sistemi di servizi per il fitness verde. Nel periodo successivo, la tesi ha cercato di proporre un concetto di progetto che è uno strumento e un sistema di servizi innovativi che combinano fitness e attività verde. esportazione del progetto: il progetto concettuale di strumento di fitness agricolo che consente agli utenti di esercitarsi attraverso la semina. Questo concetto include prodotti e sistemi operativi che consentono agli utenti di esercitarsi contribuendo all'ambiente.

Abstract
While fitness grows rapidly recently, the negative impact on the environment is more outstanding. Especially, in the response to the Covid-19 pandemic, lots of funds are consumed to stimulate the economy around the world. Many see an unprecedented opportunity to build a resilient and low-carbon economic recovery. Achieving this goal requires a wider economic transformation. The circular economy, as an important way of achieving this vision, is now more relevant than ever. This study explains the relationship between the world of gyms and fitness and the theme of the circular economy. And explore the possibility of designing green equipment and a system that combines fitness with green and outdoor activities such as growing or gardening. To study this topic, different methods are distributed in different steps. In the earlier stage, desk research is applied to learn the economic value of fitness and the negative impact on the environment of traditional gyms.
