Abstract: An exercise machine configured for a user to perform an exercise motion. A first frame is configured to be positioned on a floor. A second frame is supported by the first frame, the second frame being manually moveable by the user relative to the first frame into a desired position for the user to perform the exercise motion. A sensor detects an actual position of the second frame relative to the first frame. A display device is configured to display the actual position detected by the sensor to assist the user in moving the second frame into the desired position.

Abstract: A method for controlling a fitness machine having a light. The method includes receiving a preset time for a user to perform an exercise using the fitness machine, receiving a request to start the exercise, and controlling the light in a first operating mode. The method further includes counting an elapsed time since the exercise was started, determining a remaining time as a difference between the elapsed time and the preset time, and comparing the remaining time to a threshold time. The method further includes changing the light to a second operating mode different than the first operating mode when the remaining time is less than the threshold time to thereby indicate that the exercise will be ending.
