Abstract: A monitoring system includes a shoe and a sole integrated into the shoe. The monitoring system also includes a connection mechanism attached to an underside of the sole and is shaped to connect the sole to a pedal. A pressure sensor is incorporated into the shoe that senses a force exerted on the pedal when the shoe is connected to the pedal through the connection mechanism.

Abstract: A free weight assembly includes a cradle, an aerobic exercise element that is movable with respect to the cradle during the performance of an exercise, at least one free weight removable from the cradle, an input in communication with a processor that determines a time to instruct a user to remove the free weight, and an indicator that activates when the time to remove the free weight arrives.

Abstract: Exercise machine. An exercise machine may include a frame, a resistance mechanism supported by the frame, and a console configured to control the resistance mechanism and guide a user through a workout using the exercise machine using a projected visual indicator to assist a user in performing the workout properly.

Abstract: Cable and power rack exercise machine. An exercise machine may include a frame, a resistance mechanism supported by the frame, a first pull cable and a second pull cable supported by the frame and linked to the resistance mechanism, and a power rack attached to the frame. The power rack may include a first upright post configured to have a first barbell holder adjustably attached thereto and a second upright post configured to have a second barbell holder adjustably attached thereto. The first barbell holder may be adjusted in various positions between a first highest position and a first lowest position on the first upright post. The second barbell holder may also be adjusted in various positions between a second highest position and a second lowest position on the second upright post.

Abstract: A treadmill may include a deck, a first pulley disposed in a first portion of the deck, a second pulley disposed in a second portion of the deck, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley, and a locking mechanism that selectively prevents the tread belt from moving.

Abstract: An exercise machine may include a frame, a base portion of the frame, a deck pivotally connected at a rear end, an upright structure of the frame, a handle movably attached to the frame, and a linkage connecting the handle to the first end of the deck. An elevation of the first end of the deck changes when the handle is moved.

Abstract: A treadmill may include a deck, a first pulley disposed in a first portion of the deck, a second pulley disposed in a second portion of the deck, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley, an upright structure connected to the deck, and a pull cable incorporated into the upright structure.

Abstract: A method for positioning a console of an exercise device includes determining an angle formed between an exercise deck of the exercise device and a base of the exercise device and adjusting a physical height of a console of the exercise device to a correlated height based at least in part on the angle of the exercise deck when the physical height is determined to be out of alignment with the correlated height.

Abstract: A system may include a receiving module and a conversion module. The receiving module may be for receiving location data associating video data depicting a real-world route with topographical location of the real-world route. The conversion module may be for creating an exercise program. The exercise program could include control signals representing changes to be made to one or more operating parameters of an exercise device as the video data depicting the real-world route is displayed to a user of the exercise device. The control signals may be based at least in part on the location data. The changes to the one or more operating parameters may correspond at least in part to one or more aspects of the real-world route.

Abstract: A method may include receiving a health goal of a user and receiving data describing a status of the user. The status of the user may be related at least in part to the health goal. The method may also include determining that the user has not achieved the health goal based at least in part on comparing the status of the user and the health goal. The method may further include sending an instruction to an environment-altering device associated with a location of the user. The instruction may be configured to generate an altered environment at the location. The altered environment may be configured to encourage the user toward achieving the health goal.

Abstract: A treadmill includes a deck, a first pulley disposed in a first portion of the deck, a second pulley disposed in a second portion of the deck, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley, and a platform incorporated into the deck.

Abstract: A free weight assembly includes a cradle, an aerobic exercise element that is movable with respect to the cradle during the performance of an exercise, at least one free weight removable from the cradle, an input in communication with a processor that determines a time to instruct a user to remove the free weight, and an indicator that activates when the time to remove the free weight arrives.

Abstract: A treadmill includes an exercise deck. The exercise deck includes a platform, a first pulley attached to the platform in a front portion, a second pulley attached to the platform in a second portion, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley, and a pacing mechanism incorporated into the platform.

Abstract: A treadmill includes a deck, a first pulley disposed in a first portion of the deck, a second pulley disposed in a second portion of the deck, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley, and a platform incorporated into the deck.

Abstract: A replacement wrist band may include a display and at least one replaceable module formed on the wrist band itself.

Abstract: An exercise device includes a frame and an exercise deck. The exercise deck includes a platform, a first pulley connected to a front portion of the platform, a second pulley connected to a rear portion of the platform, and a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley. The exercise device also includes a motor in mechanical communication with at least one of the first pulley and the second pulley to drive the tread belt and an energy efficiency indicator that actives in response to determining that a power load needed to operate the exercise device is below a predetermined energy efficient threshold during a performance of an exercise.
