Abstract: Various systems and methods that enhance an exercise or other physical activity performed by a user are described. In some embodiments, a classification system communicates with a media hub to receive images and perform various methods for classifying or detecting poses, exercises, and/or movements performed by a user during an activity. In some embodiments, the systems and methods include a movements database (dB) that stores information as entries relating individual movements to data associated with the individual movements. Various systems, including class generation systems and body focus/activity systems, can utilize the movements database when presenting class content to users and/or presenting exercise information (e.g., muscle groups worked or targeted) to the users.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting resistance on an exercise cycle having a frame and a flywheel include calibration, homing and auto-follow routines. A resistance apparatus comprising an actuator is configured to selectively position the resistance apparatus relative to the flywheel, wherein a distance between the resistance apparatus to the flywheel corresponds to resistance applied to the flywheel. Control components are configured to control operation of the resistance system in response to instructions, and a computing device is configured to output media for an exercise class to a user, the exercise class comprising one or more target resistance ranges corresponding to a segment of the exercise class. The computing device is further configured to selectively implement auto-follow logic configured to determine a target resistance value for a current segment of the exercise class and instruct the control components to adjust the resistance system to the target resistance value.

Abstract: An exercise machine includes a processor, a first display, a deck, and a belt rotatable about the deck. The machine also includes a sensor operably connected to the processor and configured to detect a first performance parameter of a first user running on the belt of the exercise machine. The processor is configured to receive information indicative of a second performance parameter of a second user, the second performance parameter being detected at an additional exercise machine during display of the at least part of the exercise class on a display associated with the additional exercise machine. The processor is also configured to cause the second performance parameter to be displayed on the first display together with the first performance parameter.
