Abstract: A system for monitoring exercise activity in a gym environment includes an image-based monitoring arrangement, a storage device, and a replay device. The monitoring arrangement generates a time series of 3D representations of an individual, with each 3D representation defining a pose of the individual and comprising 3D positions of a plurality of predefined feature points of the individual. The storage device receives and stores an exercise sequence, which comprises at least part of the time series of 3D representations and corresponds to an exercise performed by the individual. The replay device retrieves the exercise sequence from the storage device, renders an animation of the individual when performing the exercise based on the exercise sequence, and provides the animation for display. The system enables a user to review the exercise at any desirable viewing angle and/or magnification.

Abstract: A system for monitoring activity in a gym environment includes a monitoring system configured to identify human representations in the gym environment and track movement of the human representations; a transceiver unit for receiving communication signals within the gym environment; a waypoint transmitter arranged at a predetermined location in the gym environment and configured to transmit a near field wireless signal; a control system configured to assign a specific human representation to an electronic device, responsive to the monitoring system detecting presence of the specific human representation at said location at a point in time associated with reception in the electronic device of the near field wireless signal.

Abstract: A device configured to enhance user operation of an exercise machine. The device includes control circuitry including logic configured to obtain a stroke measure associated with an exercise motion performed by the user operating the exercise machine; obtain a speed value associated with a target speed for the exercise motion; determine a target period for the exercise motion, based on the stroke measure and the speed value; and output a guide indicator representing the target period on a display.
