  • Patent number: 11951358
    Abstract: A method for controlling an exercise machine using a video workout program including encoding, remotely from the exercise machine, exercise machine control commands into a subtitle stream of a video to create the video workout program, wherein the exercise machine control commands are encoded at least once per second, decoding, locally to the exercise machine, the subtitle stream of the video to access the exercise machine control commands, displaying, locally to the exercise machine, the video, and controlling, locally to the exercise machine, one or more moveable members of the exercise machine using the exercise machine control commands.

  • Publication number: 20220314078
    Abstract: In one aspect of the disclosure, a method includes rendering, by a processor, a virtual environment associating, by the processor, exercise machine control signals with the virtual environment, and displaying, by the processor, the virtual environment on a video wall. The method may include receiving, by the processor, a video of a trainer on an exercise machine in front of the video wall displaying the virtual environment, wherein the exercise machine has one or more parameters which are controlled according to the exercise machine control signals associated with the virtual environment, associating, by the processor, the control signals with the video of the trainer in the virtual environment, and publishing the video with the associated control signals for use on a remote exercise machine.

  • Patent number: 9767785
    Abstract: A treadmill having a running deck comprising a motor arranged to drive movement of a tread belt, a processor, memory in electronic communication with the processor, and instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executable by the processor to determine an anti-phase waveform based on waveform attributes of a noise emitted from the treadmill and to cause a sound of the anti-phase waveform to be emitted into a surrounding environment.
