Abstract: Flagging irregularities in user performance in an exercise machine system. In one aspect of the disclosure, a method may include receiving first performance parameters of a first user associated with a first exercise machine that is executing a video workout program to enable the first user to perform a workout on the first exercise machine. The method may also include detecting an irregularity in the first performance parameters that indicates a performance of the workout by the first user is different than expected. The method may further include, in response to the detecting of the irregularity, displaying a visually discernable indication with a first performance indicator of the first user to visually indicate the irregularity.

Abstract: Treadmill configured to automatically determine user exercise movement. In some embodiments, a treadmill may include a deck, a first pulley disposed in the deck, a second pulley disposed in the deck, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley, an electronic sensor incorporated into the treadmill and configured to automatically produce measurement data in response to exercise movement performed by a user over the deck, an electronic console including an electronic display, a processor, and a memory. The memory may include programmed instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to automatically analyze the measurement data produced by the electronic sensor to automatically determine a characteristic of the exercise movement performed by the user over the deck, and automatically present, on the electronic display, an indication of the characteristic of the exercise movement performed by the user over the deck.

Abstract: A haptic simulation exercise device includes a frame, a base supporting the frame, and an incline motor. The incline motor is configured to move the frame relative to the base to provide haptic simulation during a workout routine. An actuator moves the frame faster than the incline motor to simulate outdoor conditions during a workout routine.

Abstract: An exercise machine may include a frame, a resistance mechanism supported by the frame, first and second pull cables supported by the frame and linked to the resistance mechanism, a power rack attached to the frame, first and second handles selectively attachable to the first and second pull cable, and first and second pulleys. The power rack includes upright posts configured to have barbell holders adjustably attached thereto such that the barbell holders are configured to be adjusted in various positions between highest positions and lowest positions on the upright posts. The pulleys are configured to selectively receive the pull cables to enable the pull cables to be selectively attached to a barbell to assist or hinder a user in lifting the barbell in a combined cableand free weight workout, the pull cables decoupled from the pulleys for cable workouts.
