  • Patent number: 10933293
    Abstract: The present invention is a group workout program that allows instructors to lead and teach multiple exercisers machine, free weight and other forms of exercise simultaneously. Participants within a single exercise area can do the same free weight, machine and accompanying exercises simultaneously. They can also circuit train in small, medium and large circuits doing the same or different exercises concurrently or simultaneously under the direction of an instructor. More than one exerciser can exercise on each machine at the same time and machines can be combined to deliver more exercises. An exerciser can do multiple exercises on a single machine either changing the configuration between exercises and also by leaving the configuration the same and simply moving between varying exercises. The workout program allows an instructor to teach exercises and exercise combinations in way where they can have a slow, medium, fast and mixed pace.
