Publication number: 20230310939Abstract: A fitness system includes a computing system in communication with a wearable device and multiple pieces of exercise equipment. The wearable device is associated with a user, includes a user sensor for detecting motion, and outputs user sensor data. The multiple pieces of exercise equipment are configured to be used by the user to perform an exercise therewith, include an equipment sensor for detecting motion, and output equipment sensor data. The computing system receives and processes the user sensor data collected at a first time and the equipment sensor data collected from the multiple pieces of exercise equipment at the first time to associate the user with one of the multiple pieces of exercise equipment used by the user at the first time, determines exercise information, exercise recommendations, or both, and transmits the exercise information, the exercise recommendations, or both.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: Shapelog, Inc.Inventors: Nolan Orfield, Bryan O'Rear, Mark Angeloni

Publication number: 20220111256Abstract: A weight machine sensor includes a force sensor, a position sensor, and a processor. The force sensor is programmed to output a force signal representing a force applied to a pulley-disposed on a cable incorporated into exercise equipment having a stack of weights. The position sensor is programmed to detect motion of the stack of weights and output a position signal representing the motion detected. The processor is programmed to receive the force signal and the rotation signal and determine, from the force signal and the position signal, exercise data including an amount of exercise resistance and a number of repetitions performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2021Publication date: April 14, 2022Applicant: ShapeLog, IncInventors: Nolan Orfield, Brandon Hazelton, Jesse Raleigh, Andrew Muth
