SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BRIDGING COMMERCIAL AND HOME GYMS

Smart overview of the Invention

The disclosed system integrates commercial and home gym environments through advanced electronic exercise equipment. It utilizes mobile communication devices to track and coordinate exercise routines across different spaces. This includes receiving data from a mobile device about a user's location and exercise activities, then providing tailored instructions for subsequent workouts. The system supports exercises involving various equipment, enhancing the user's fitness journey by adapting to their goals and routines.

Technical Innovations

This invention addresses common issues with traditional gym equipment, such as bulkiness and complex controls. By minimizing the physical footprint and simplifying user interactions, it offers a more efficient workout experience. The system leverages electronic controls to allow for flexible routine adjustments and enhanced motivation, overcoming the rigidity of conventional machines.

Simulated Exercise Environment

A key feature is the creation of a virtual training environment where users can engage with avatars representing themselves and others. This simulation is powered by sensors on exercise equipment, which transmit exertion data to animate avatars in real-time. Participants can interact within this environment, fostering a shared workout experience despite being in different physical locations.

Adaptive Exercise Routines

The system incorporates dynamic adjustments for injury management and user preferences. It can modify exercise sequences to avoid strain on injured muscles and replace disliked movements with alternatives that achieve similar fitness goals. This customization is facilitated by feedback from sensors monitoring equipment usage, ensuring exercises remain effective and engaging.

Communication and Scoring Features

The system supports individualized communication channels between trainers and clients, allowing for real-time dialogue and performance monitoring. Additionally, it evaluates user performance through exertion data and posture analysis, providing scores that reflect both effort and form. These features enhance personalized coaching and motivate users by tracking progress against set goals.
