Abstract: An indication is received from a user to rack or unrack a digital weight. A motor is signaled to apply or remove tension to a cable couple to the motor based at least in part on the indication. The actuator is connected to the cable and is physically arranged to deliver a force to the user. The motor selectively tensions a cable in accordance with an exercise program.

Abstract: In response to physical connection of an exercise accessory with a portion of an exercise machine, an identifier of the portion of the exercise machine is received. A signal including the identifier of the portion of the exercise machine is transmitted.

Abstract: An exercise machine includes a cable. It further includes an interface to a moveable camera device coupled with the exercise machine. It further includes a processor configured to receive a cable-based measurement associated with an exercise performed by a user. The processor is further configured to receive, from the moveable camera device, video information associated with the exercise. The processor is further configured to provide a workout determination based at least in part on both the cable-based measurement and the video information received from the moveable camera device.

Abstract: In response to physical connection of an exercise accessory with a portion of an exercise machine, an identifier of the portion of the exercise machine is received. A signal including the identifier of the portion of the exercise machine is transmitted.

Abstract: A controllable tension force is provided on a first cable. The first cable has a terminal end wherein the terminal end is adapted to attach to an accessory. The first cable is coupled to a motor. The first cable and motor are part of a resistance unit. The resistance unit is coupled to a user support unit having a sliding seat.

Abstract: An exercise accessory includes a load bearing shaft. It further includes a ring-shaped actuator oriented substantially concentrically to the shaft that is responsive to radial pressure from a user. The radial pressure from the user causes a control signal to be transmitted from the exercise accessory to an exercise machine.

Abstract: An exercise system includes a load bearing element having a control element. It further includes a resistance mechanism responsive to a signal from the control element. The signal from the control element is selectively rejected based on state information relating to a state of the load bearing element.

Abstract: An exercise accessory includes a load bearing element. It further includes a haptic actuator. In response to an indication of an event pertaining to a load on the load bearing element, the haptic actuator is configured to generate a vibration pattern corresponding to the event. Different events are associated with different vibration patterns.

Abstract: An exercise system includes an exercise machine and an exercise handle coupled to the exercise machine via a cable, the exercise handle comprising a set of sensors. The set of sensors is used to detect a location of a portion of a user's hand on the exercise handle.

Abstract: In response to physical connection of an exercise accessory with a portion of an exercise machine, an identifier of the portion of the exercise machine is received. A signal including the identifier of the portion of the exercise machine is transmitted.
