Week 1 - Entrepreneurial Ideas

Recently Archbold gym at Syracuse University has been extremely crowded at the hours that I have been there. My idea is to provide live video feed of all of the on campus gyms at Syracuse University so the students can see how crowded the gyms are and what machines are being used. This way students can go to the gym and get their workouts done faster because everyone is usually on such a tight schedule.

I believe that my idea is very useful to the student body and it has not been invented yet. I have not yet been to the facilities on South Campus for the athletes but they can also be added to live video feed so other athletes can see how crowded the athletic facilities are there. This idea is also very technologically advanced which is part of the discussion that we had in class. The service will be free and available to all Syracuse University students.

This service probably does not exist yet because some people do not find it necessary yet. However for me personally it is awful to go to the gym when you only have a few hours to work out and show up to a crowded gym. With this live video feed I can check the facilities and see when it is crowded or not to plan out a better schedule. Clearly there will be some privacy issues like the ones we discussed in class but they can be worked out with waivers and signs that allow the students to know that they are being monitored. I believe this idea could benefit everyone at Syracuse University and help free up space at the work out facilities.
