An interactive exercise method includes streaming exercise content to an interactive video system for display via a mirror, the exercise content including a depiction of an instructor performing a repetitive movement. A video stream of a user performing the repetitive movement is received, via a camera of the interactive video system, and the user is detected in the video stream. The user or a body portion thereof is tracked in the video stream as the user performs the repetitive movement. The method also includes generating a measure of a difference between a form of the user performing the repetitive movement and a predetermined form for the repetitive movement. A corrective movement is displayed to the user, via the display and during the display of the instructor performing the repetitive movement, based on the measure, to conform the form of the user to the predetermined form for the repetitive movement.

An automatic ball launcher for pets includes a body shell, a ball launch aisle, a ball launch mechanism which is connected to the ball launch aisle and near the outlet for the ball; the ball launch mechanism comprises one or more ball launch wheels and one or more ball launch motors; the ball launch wheels are set on two sides of the ball launch aisle, a face of which is a concaved curve; the concaved curve matches the outline of the ball; regular teeth are arranged on the concaved curve; the ball launch wheels are driven by one or more ball launch motor and launch the ball from the outlet. The present invention effectively enlarged the contact surface between the wheels and the ball, which solve the problem of slippery ball being stuck inside the launcher. The playing is not interrupted by the stuck ball and is enjoyable.

A swimming machine comprising a housing adapted to be mounted to an interior wall of a swimming pool. The housing comprising a hydraulic motor connected to an impellor mounted within the housing for producing a current of water in the pool when in use. The swimming machine further comprising a hydraulic pump stored outside the housing operably connected to the hydraulic motor mounted within the housing, an electric motor connected to and powering the hydraulic pump, an inverter drive system connected to, powering and controlling the electric motor. Wherein in use the speed of the current produced is controlled by the inverter drive system.

A basketball training system includes a ball delivery system in which a basketball is delivered to a ball ready holder located in front of a ball launch mechanism. A launch arm is grabbed and pulled backward against a spring force, and then is released to pivot forward and strike the basketball from the ball ready holder.

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 dumbbell assembly includes a cradle shaped to receive a first dumbbell having a first weight set and a second dumbbell having a second weight set. The dumbbell assembly further includes an input mechanism in communication with a selection mechanism incorporated into the cradle where the selection mechanism is in communication with both a first selector arranged to adjust a first connection of the first weight set to the first dumbbell and a second selector arranged to adjust a second connection of the second weight set to the second dumbbell.

A rotatable training mannequin used for training fighters or contact sports athletes is constructed of materials that mimic or simulate the upper human body. A sensor embedded in the training mannequin's head senses, detects, and transmits signals containing data for computer analysis. The data is related to motion parameters, which include linear and angular accelerations and velocities, of the training mannequin as a result of impacts and power strikes made by trainee to the training mannequin. Analysis provides feedback to the trainee related to the motion parameters to help the trainee learn proper footwork and where and how to make effective strikes. The parameter values obtained from the training mannequin can be calibrated and/or correlated against current or future real human parameter values due to strikes or other forces that produce damaging effects, such as concussions, and the training mannequin can be used to avoid or learn about concussions.

This invention relates generally to a ball delivery system and method, and more particularly to a ball delivery system where the axis of rotation of the ball delivered from the system can range from perpendicular to the direction of motion of the ball to parallel to the direction of motion. This invention also permits a user to enter information related to the speed and axis of rotation of the ball. This invention also permits information related to the speed and axis of rotation of the ball to be determined from a video of a ball.

A tennis-ball collector which includes a chassis, a drive train, an energy source, wheels, and a motor. The tennis-ball collector is useful for collecting scattered tennis balls after a game or practice without the need to bend and pick them up by hand. The device moves balls using a vacuum system or a drive belt.

A console for an exercise machine has a console housing providing a user interface for controlling the exercise machine and a media rack removably attached to the console housing and having a shelf sized to support a media item. At least one touch input element is on the media rack and is operable to control an auxiliary device on the exercise machine.
