Provide a way for people to go workout by doing hard physical labor for a business. The employer gets some work done and the person gets paid to workout rather than paying someone else for the priviledge of using specialized gym equipment.
The service would hook up “job” seekers with job providers.
People would only work for 1/2 hour to a couple hours every day.
