A social engagement system includes a first exercise machine having a display able to present videos, a three-dimensional camera system, and local processing system able to provide pose estimation based on data from the three-dimensional camera system. The system also includes a communication module for connection to a cloud processing system, with the cloud processing system supporting connection to a second exercise machine having a display able to present videos, a three-dimensional camera system, and local processing system able to provide pose estimation based on data from the three-dimensional camera system. Additionally, the connection allows transfer of data useful for social engagement.

An indication is received from a user to rack or unrack a digital weight. A motor is signaled to apply or remove tension to a cable couple to the motor based at least in part on the indication. The actuator is connected to the cable and is physically arranged to deliver a force to the user. The motor selectively tensions a cable in accordance with an exercise program.

A golf putting game includes at least one putting green defining a putting surface and a plurality of putting cups disposed within the putting surface at a different location on the putting green. Each putting cup has an exterior housing and an interior core disposed within and removably attached to the exterior housing. The interior core is removable from the exterior housing with the putting cup disposed within the putting surface of the putting green. Each putting cup is illuminated by a different predetermined color and assigned a different predetermined number of base points corresponding to the predetermined color. A player score is determined from a number of putting strokes made by a player to putt a putting ball into the putting cup and the predetermined number of base points assigned to the putting cup.

An exercise machine including a motor assembly that provides both motor driven resistance forces and motor driven rotation forces. A frame of the machine assists a user in the performance of an exercise, and separates a treadmill portion of the machine from a weightlifting portion of the machine. The treadmill portion is driven by the motor driven rotation forces, and the weightlifting portion is driven by the motor driven resistance forces, thereby providing a universal machine that provides for performance of a plurality of exercises.

An exercise accessory includes a load bearing element. It further includes a haptic actuator. In response to an indication of an event pertaining to a load on the load bearing element, the haptic actuator is configured to generate a vibration pattern corresponding to the event. Different events are associated with different vibration patterns.

An exercise system includes a load bearing element having a control element. It further includes a resistance mechanism responsive to a signal from the control element. The signal from the control element is selectively rejected based on state information relating to a state of the load bearing element.

In one aspect, a method useful for automating, personalizing, and optimizing a resistance force in an exercise across time and space, the system including the step of providing an exercise machine. The method includes the step of providing a biometric sensor coupled with a user performing an exercise on the exercise machine. The method includes the step of obtaining a user's profile data, wherein the user's profile data comprises factors such as a user's history of exercising on the exercise machine. The method includes the step of obtaining a user input into an exercise resistance controller of the exercise machine. The method includes the step of, while the user performs one or more repetitions of the exercise on the exercise machine, obtaining real-time data of a set of parameters of the one or more repetitions of the exercise on the exercise machine. The method includes the step of obtaining a user's biometric data.

The disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing a user with key performance indicators of a basketball player relating to accuracy, precision and improvement. Specifically, the disclosure is directed to a system of sensors coupled to a basketball backboard adapted to provide an accurate tracking of a shot in a given three-dimensional space and extract features manipulated to yield key performance indicators based on establishing whether, how often and where the ball center passes the rim plane at a sub-cm resolution over a period of no more than 200 msec.

An exercise system. A member ID of a member of the exercise system is received. A selection of an exercise routine comprising of two or more exercises is received. Settings associated with a previous performance of at least one of the two or more exercises by the member are provided.

The present disclosure provides a fitness guidance method, a device and a storage medium. The method includes: collecting a face image of a user in real time in response to detecting a sport event of the user; performing recognition on the face image; determining a current sport state of the user based on a face recognition result; and providing a prompt for advising the user based on the current sport state.
