A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to interact with a user of an exercise device during an exercise session. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive data as input, and based on the data, providing an output. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the data from an input peripheral of a computing device associated with the user. Based on the data being received from the input peripheral, the method includes determining, via the machine learning model, the output to control an aspect of the exercise device.

A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to modify resistance of pedals of an exercise device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive measurements as input, and outputting, based on the measurements, a control instruction that causes the exercise device to modify, independently from each other, the resistance of the pedals. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the measurements from sensors associated with the pedals. The method includes determining, based on the measurements, a quantifiable or qualitative modification to the resistance provided by a pedal of the pedals. The resistance provided by another pedal of the pedals is not modified. The method includes transmitting the control instruction to the exercise device to cause the resistance provided by the pedal to be modified.

The user interface includes a display that provides feedback and an apparatus tracking processing unit (“ATPU”). The ATPU includes the first electronic communications channel for receiving the measured data from the ATMU, a microprocessor, a memory storage area, a database stored in the memory storage area, and a tracking processing module located in the memory storage are. The database stores a first set of evaluation rules and a second set of evaluation rules, the first set of evaluation rules corresponding to one or more tracking parameters, and the second set of evaluation rules corresponding to the one or more apparatus conditions. The tracking processing includes program instructions that, when executed by the microprocessor, causes the microprocessor to determine the one or more tracking parameters using the measured data and the first set of evaluation rules, and determine the one or more apparatus conditions data using the one or more tracking parameters and the second set of evaluation rules.

It is provided an apparatus for training a person's lower and/or upper extremities, comprising at least two motion elements which are arranged on a base element, wherein the motion elements each have an axis of rotation around which an actuating element can be moved. The motion elements each are independently movable relative to the base element about a first axis of movement, wherein the first axis of movement extends substantially perpendicular to an extension surface of the base element. Each motion element has a separate drive in order to rotate the actuating elements about the axis of rotation, and that the apparatus includes a control element which can individually actuate each drive in order to provide for a movement of each drive independent of a movement of another drive.

A rowing machine is disclosed. The rowing machine includes a frame including a base for contact with a support surface and a seat rail supported by the base. The rowing machine includes a seat configured to reciprocate back and forth along the seat rail. The rowing machine includes a rowing engine that includes at least one resistance mechanism rotatably coupled to the frame. The rowing machine includes at least one handle operatively connected to the at least one resistance mechanism, and a paddle linkage assembly operatively connecting the at least one handle to the at least one resistance mechanism such that rearward movement of the handle is resisted by the at least one resistance mechanism.

A multifunctional cardiovascular exercise machine may include a frame including a first and second end attached to one another by a pair of ski rails and a centrally located center frame rail. A flywheel may be operatively mounted to the frame, and a pulley system may be mounted to the frame, the pulley system supporting and routing a pull rope, wherein the pull rope is operatively engaged with the flywheel, and a free end of the pull rope is removably engaged with a pull bar, a pair of ski poles, and/or a pair of pull handles. A sliding seat may be operatively attached to the flywheel and slidably mounted to the center frame rail, and a pair of footrests may be mounted to the frame proximate to the flywheel.

A portable exercise device provided includes: a base disc, two pulley assemblies, a support plate, and a fan wheel assembly. A support plate is disposed on the base disc, the two pulley assemblies are provided on the base disc, and the fan wheel assembly is provided on the support plate, so that the fan wheel assembly and the two pulley assemblies are vertically arranged on top of each other, thereby reducing the overall volume. More preferably, because the volume is reduced, the user can arbitrarily move and hang the portable exercise device at the desired position, and because the portable exercise device of the invention can be hung at different positions, which allows the user to train different muscles according to the different positions.

According to one example, an exercise system includes a base, a vertical housing extending vertically outward from the base, a first weighted touchpoint moveably coupled to the vertical housing, a second weighted touchpoint moveably coupled to the vertical housing, and one or more weight systems configured to provide weight to the weighted touchpoints. The exercise system further includes a control system that determines randomized workouts that include a random selection of a muscle group, a weight amount, a weight differential, a number of sets of an exercise, and/or a number of repetitions in the set. The control system may also cause the weight system to adjust the weight of the weighted touchpoints based on the randomized workout.

An exercise assembly structured to perform different rowing routines characterized different rowing motions. A resistance device is movable within a chamber and is cooperatively structured therewith to resist such movement. A drive assembly includes two drive sections each independently connected in driving relation to said resistance device. A connector structure includes two connector members each attached to a handle and connected in driving relation to a different one of said drive sections.
