An exercise device system comprising a tower; a support structure inclinable at different angles relative to the tower; a movable user support platform movably associated with the support structure for movement relative to the support structure; a pulley system associated with the movable user support platform; a cable extending through the pulley system and including opposite ends; exercise device handles coupled to the opposite ends of the cable, whereby movement of the handles causes movement of the movable user support platform relative to the support structure.

A physical fitness system includes a stand assembly including a stand, a computing device mounted on the stand, and at least one integrated docking station for receiving an exercise device. At least one exercise device is configured to be releasably mounted to the docking station. Upon receiving instructions from a user input on the computing device, the system computer processor is configured to transmit instructions over the network from a system network communication interface to an exercise device network communication interface, and upon receiving the instructions, the exercise device processor is configured to activate a driver in the exercise device to change either the resistance applied to the exercise device or the weight carried by the exercise device.

A device including a mirror which reflects incident light from a user facing a front surface of the mirror to present a reflected image of the user and which transmits incident light from a rear surface of the mirror; and at least one display arranged behind the mirror for displaying content superimposed on at least a portion of the reflected image of the user. The display is configured to display at least one visual element of the content on a black toned background. The display and the mirror are configured to create a holographic effect for the at least one visual element by an additional projection of the at least one visual element on the mirror, and, for generating the additional projection, a front side of the display at which the content is displayed is arranged at a predetermined minimum distance to the rear surface of the mirror and the mirror has a predetermined transparency-opacity ratio.

The present invention is directed, in part, to a system and methods for combining newly designed cardiovascular equipment with the added features of an upper body weight training regimen in order to provide a user a full body workout, cardiovascular exercise and weight training simultaneously. The invention does so by employing either a weight tray apparatus configured to newly designed cardiovascular equipment or machine or through the use of an adjustable weight training apparatus combined with the newly designed cardiovascular equipment or machine. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and methods for combining newly designed cardiovascular equipment including stationary and recumbent bikes, elliptical machines, treadmills and stair steppers, with a tray apparatus that allows a user to employ free weights. The invention further relates to a system and methods for combining newly designed cardiovascular equipment including stationary and recumbent bikes, elliptical machines, treadmills and stair steppers that are configured with an adjustable weight training apparatus that allows a user to build upper body muscle groups simultaneously with cardiovascular exercise, in effect, providing a full body workout.

A rowing exercise assembly for includes a pair of elevation units that is each positionable at a selected point between a minimum elevation and a maximum elevation. A rowing machine is coupled between each of the elevation units thereby facilitating the rowing machine to be positionable at a variety of horizontal angles. In this way the elevation units enhance rowing exercises. A pair of cables is each of the cables is coupled to the resistance unit. A pair of handles is each coupled to a respective one of the cables and each of the handles may be gripped for performing rowing exercises. A control is positioned proximate the rowing machine and each of the elevation units is electrically coupled to the control. Moreover, the control actuates each of the elevation units to be positioned at the selected point between the minimum and maximum elevations.

An exercise machine includes a processor, a display, a deck, and a belt rotatable about the deck. The machine also includes a sensor operably connected to the processor and configured to detect a performance parameter associated with a belt of the exercise machine. In implementations described herein, the performance parameter may be disregarded when it is determined that a user is not on the belt.

An exercise system that may be rail-less, frameless, and/or portable is described. The exercise system includes a carriage having a plurality of wheels and a stationary platform. The stationary platform is independent of and separate from the carriage, and the stationary platform is freestanding. At least one tension member having a first end is attached to the carriage and a second end is detachably attached to the platform such that the carriage is movable on a horizontal plane parallel to a ground surface while the stationary platform remains in a fixed position.

An assembly is provided for incorporating a media playback device remote control into a rowing machine handle, without requiring modification to the handle itself. The user interface on the remote control is configured to enable a user to readily access the controls while using the machine, substantially without interfering with the user's grip on the handle. Moreover, the remote control employs wireless communication to interface with a host media playback device, which in one embodiment, can provide the user real-time data regarding the quality of handle motion.

An interactive exercise system includes a mechanical support system and a display module held by the mechanical support system. At least one force-controlled component is engageable by a user and connected to the mechanical support system, with the force-controlled component configure to reduce force when applied user force is great enough to cause tip-over or unwanted movement of the mechanical support system. The force-controlled component can be graspable by a user and allows for a range of exercise types and programs.
