With the acceleration of urbanization and the growing awareness of health, traditional gyms face challenges related to space, time, and operational costs, particularly in meeting the fragmented fitness needs of urban residents. Unmanned gyms, integrating advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), provide flexible, personalized fitness solutions available 24/7, addressing the increasing fitness demands of modern urban populations. Moreover, through innovative business models such as dynamic pricing, data monetization, and value-added services, unmanned gyms optimize their revenue structures and enhance user experiences. However, despite their significant growth potential, unmanned gyms still face challenges in terms of technology, ethics, and regulation. This paper reviews the current development of unmanned gyms, their spatiotemporal characteristics, and future trends. Future research should focus on the sustainability of technologies, user engagement, and the improvement of regulatory frameworks to foster the healthy growth of the unmanned gym industry.
随着城市化进程的加速和健康意识的不断提高，传统健身房面临着与空间、时间和运营成本相关的挑战，尤其是在满足城市居民碎片化的健身需求方面。无人健身房集成了物联网（IoT）和人工智能（AI）等先进技术，提供全天候可用的灵活、个性化健身解决方案，满足现代城市人群日益增长的健身需求。此外，通过动态定价、数据货币化和增值服务等创新商业模式，无人健身房优化了其收入结构并提升了用户体验。然而，尽管无人健身房具有巨大的增长潜力，但在技术、伦理和监管方面仍面临挑战。本文回顾了无人健身房的当前发展、时空特征和未来趋势。未来的研究应关注技术的可持续性、用户参与度以及监管框架的完善，以促进无人健身房行业的健康发展。
