共享健身房上线 中国共享经济市场再现新颜

Xiao Su, a workout fanatic, was surprised to find out that the nondescript booth he spotted on his way to the gym was also a gym.

小苏是一个锻炼狂热分子，当他在去健身房路上发现一个不起眼的小亭子也是健身房时很惊讶。

"I downloaded the app for it out of curiosity. I have to pay 99 yuan ($14.86) deposit for registration with my ID number and phone number, and it charges me one yuan per five minutes," Su told the Global Times Friday.

周五，小苏告诉《环球时报》：“我出于好奇下载了app。我需要支付99元定金注册ID号和电话号码，每五分钟收费1元。”

The booths only have enough space to hold two people at once - but only one of them can exercise as the gym’s sole piece of equipment is a treadmill.
