Weight platform treadmill
A treadmill includes a deck, a first pulley disposed in a first portion of the deck, a second pulley disposed in a second portion of the deck, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley, and a platform incorporated into the deck.
1. A treadmill, comprising:
a deck;
a first pulley disposed in a first portion of the deck;
a second pulley disposed in a second portion of the deck;
a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley;
a platform incorporated into the deck such that the platform is adjacent to, but not surrounded by, the tread belt; and
a vibration sensor in communication with the platform.
2. The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the platform further comprises a vibration mechanism.
3. The treadmill of claim 2 , further comprising a vibration isolator disposed between the platform and at least one of the first portion and the second portion of the deck, the vibration isolator configured to at least mitigate a strength of a vibration passing from the platform to the at least one of the first portion and the second portion of the deck when the vibration mechanism is active.
4. The treadmill of claim 3 , wherein the vibration isolator comprises a passive vibration isolator.
5. The treadmill of claim 3 , wherein the vibration isolator comprises an active vibration isolator.
6. The treadmill of claim 3 , wherein:
the treadmill further comprises an upright portion connected to the deck; and
the vibration isolator is further configured to at least mitigate the strength of the vibration passing from the platform to the upright portion when the vibration mechanism is active.
7. The treadmill of claim 2 , wherein:
the treadmill further comprises a processor, a memory in communication with the processor, and a display in communication with the processor;
the vibration sensor is in communication with the processor; and
the memory includes programmed instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
record a vibration signature of the platform when a user is on the platform and the vibration mechanism is active;
perform a comparison the vibration signature to a baseline signature when no user is on the platform and the vibration mechanism is active; and
determine at least one parameter about the user based on the comparison.
8. The treadmill of claim 7 , wherein the at least one parameter comprises a weight of the user.
9. The treadmill of claim 7 , wherein the at least one parameter comprises an amount of weight held by the user.
10. The treadmill of claim 7 , wherein the at least one parameter comprises a type of exercise performed by the user.
11. The treadmill of claim 7 , wherein the at least one parameter comprises a repetition count of an exercise performed by the user.
12. The treadmill of claim 1 , further comprising:
an upright portion connected to the deck; and
a display connected to the upright portion.
13. The treadmill of claim 12 , wherein the display is configured to display a repetition count of an exercise performed on the platform.
14. The treadmill of claim 12 , wherein the display is configured to display a type of exercise performed on the platform.
15. The treadmill of claim 12 , wherein the display is configured to display an instruction for performing an exercise on the platform.
16. The treadmill of claim 1 , further comprising a free weight rack connected to the deck.
17. A treadmill, comprising:
a deck;
a first pulley disposed on a first portion of the deck;
a second pulley disposed on a second portion of the deck;
a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley;
a platform incorporated into the deck;
a vibration mechanism incorporated into the platform;
a processor;
a display in communication with the processor;
a vibration sensor in communication with the processor; and
a memory in communication with the processor, the memory including programmed instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
record a vibration signature of the platform when a user is on the platform and the vibration mechanism is active;
perform a comparison the vibration signature to a baseline signature when no user is on the platform and the vibration mechanism is active; and
determine at least one parameter about the user based on the comparison.
18. The treadmill of claim 17 , wherein the at least one parameter comprises a weight of the user.
19. The treadmill of claim 17 , wherein the at least one parameter comprises a repetition count of an exercise performed by the user.
20. A treadmill, comprising:
a deck;
an upright portion connected to the deck;
a first pulley disposed in a first portion of the deck;
a second pulley disposed in a second portion of the deck;
a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley;
a platform incorporated into the deck;
a vibration mechanism incorporated into the platform;
a processor;
a display in communication with the processor and connected to the upright portion;
a vibration sensor in communication with the processor;
a vibration isolator disposed between the platform and at least one of the first portion of the deck, the second portion, the upright portion, and the display, the vibration isolator configured to at least mitigate a strength of a vibration passing from the platform to the at least one of the first portion, the second portion, the upright portion, and the display when the vibration mechanism is active;
a memory in communication with the processor, the memory including programmed instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
record a vibration signature of the platform when a user is on the platform and the vibration mechanism is active;
perform a comparison the vibration signature to a baseline signature when no user is on the platform and the vibration mechanism is active; and
determine at least one parameter about the user based on the comparison.
