The earliest gymnasiums date back over 3,000 years to ancient Persia. Indoor gymnasiums were first developed in Germany in the 19th century based on outdoor exercise spaces. The first gym in Spain opened in 1859 in Madrid and used basic machines made of iron and wood. Modern gyms are innovating, such as magnetic dumbbells that allow adjustable weight through electromagnets and outdoor gyms that generate electricity from exercise to charge devices.

2. THE ORIGIN
● The first gymnasiums in history can be dated over 3000
years ago in ancient Persia, they were known as
Zurkhaneh, as areas that encouraged physical fitness.
● In Germany were an outgrowth of the Turnplatz, an
outdoor space for gymnastics, which was promoted by
German educator Friedrich Jahn and the Turners, a
nineteenth-century political and gymnastic movement. The
first indoor gymnasium in Germany was probably the one
built in Hesse in 1852 by Adolph Spiess, an enthusiast for
boys' and girls' gymnastics in the schools.

5. The Innovation/The Future
● O2 MAGNETIC DUMBBELL enables people to do many
different exercises due to embedded electromagnets.
While regular dumbbells lack of transportability the
magnetic dumbbell is portable and always adjustable to
all kinds of training requirements by switching the
polarity of electromagnets.
● The strength of these electromagnets can be set by
adjusting the level of electric power according to the
work out intensity wanted by the user.That is, it is no
longer necessary to carry ten regular dumbbells for ten
different work out levels, instead only one magnetic
dumbbell will always meet the current needs of
different training intensity levels.

6. The display indicates 8 circled bars which each represents an
additional weight of 3kg. Thus the user can conveniently choose
the right training weight ranging from 3kg to 24kg at a glance.
