Patent number: 11273358Abstract: A method transmits audio signals to exercise machines of a training class including providing a control unit accessible to a trainer user managing a training class. Exercise machines operatively connect to the control unit by a data communication network. The exercise machines include a first group of exercise machines used in the training class. The control unit and each exercise machine of the first group establish a data communication channel for transmitting audio signals between the control unit and the first group of exercise machines. The control unit receives a first audio signal representative of a voice control by the trainer user and a second audio signal representative of a piece of music selected by the trainer user. The control unit sends the encoded first and second audio signals to all exercise machines of the first group of exercise machines by the communication channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2018Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: TECHNOGYM S.p.A.Inventors: Marcello Tana, Pietrino Atzeni, Stefano Santilli, Mauro Fabbri

Publication number: 20190118038Abstract: A method manages training of users on exercise machines provides a control unit of a user training class on exercise machines. The control unit is accessible by a trainer user managing the training class. Exercise machines are operatively connected to the control unit by a data communication network. The control unit loads a training program to be performed for the class users chosen by the trainer user in a respective memory module of the control unit. The control unit sends a training start command to the exercise machines by the data communication network. The training starts following receipt of the training start command. An operation control instruction of each exercise machine is sent to the exercise machines by the control unit and data communication network. Operation of each exercise machine is controlled based on the operation control instruction of each exercise machine received from the control unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2018Publication date: April 25, 2019Applicant: TECHNOGYM S.p.A.Inventors: Marcello TANA, Paola MUSSONI, Mauro FABBRI

Publication number: 20120264569Abstract: An exercise machine of the treadmill type comprises a motor (5) connected to a belt (3) and able to be activated for driving the belt, an actuator (6) associated with the belt (3) for angling it, an interface (7) designed to allow the user (100) to set a basic pair of values relating to predetermined operating parameters and corresponding to a machine operating configuration. The machine also comprises a processor (8) programmed to derive a user (100) oxygen consumption value depending on the basic pair of values and for calculating, the oxygen consumption value being equal, at least one alternative pair of values which involves lower energy consumption by the motor (5) compared with the basic pair.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2012Publication date: October 18, 2012Applicant: TECHNOGYM S.P.A.Inventors: Camilo ESCOBEDO, Mauro FABBRI, Francesco LANNI, Claudio SERRA
