  • Publication number: 20220339499
    Abstract: A method and system for measuring exercise data using a plurality of wireless sensors is disclosed. The plurality of wireless sensors are attached onto or into a plurality of pieces of strength training equipment, wherein each individual wireless sensor from the plurality of wireless sensors is attached to and associated with an individual piece of strength training equipment of the plurality of pieces of strength training equipment. An individual piece of strength training equipment of the plurality of pieces of strength training equipment is selected and the wireless sensor is registered with selected piece of strength training equipment with a computing device. Strength training equipment details may be identified through the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11117018
    Abstract: A system for measuring, displaying, storing and utilizing user-specific exercise data from selectorized fitness machines, including the weight, repetitions, and any other physical parameters derivable from the weight and displacement of the weight stack. The system is comprised of two coupled sensor systems: an infrared sensor and multiple Hall effect sensors. The sensors are mounted to an adjustable stand that can be retrofitted to any selectorized fitness machine. The system analyzes the measurements and sends the data to a server for storage on a per-user basis. Users are identified by a near-field communication (NFC) tag or facial recognition. The system uses an innovative coupled NFC/QR/facial recognition—Bluetooth paradigm to transmit exercise data in real-time to the Bluetooth-enabled mobile device of the user. A mobile application allows users to view the exercise data, to follow predefined workout plan, and to retrieve stored data from a remote server.
