Floor-based exercise machine configurations
An exercise system includes an exercise platform comprising an internal motor coupled to a cable exiting the exercise platform via a portal in an exit direction to transmit force to a remote handle. It further includes an auxiliary pulley external to the exercise platform that redirects the cable from the exit direction to facilitate a direction of an exercise motion.
1. An exercise system, comprising:
an exercise platform comprising an internal motor coupled to a cable exiting the exercise platform via a cable guiding wrist in an exit direction to transmit force to a remote handle, wherein the exercise platform comprises a track, wherein the cable guiding wrist is translatable along the track, and wherein the cable guiding wrist is rotatable on a horizontal plane of the exercise platform; and
a detachable component comprising a pulley that redirects the cable from the exit direction to facilitate a direction of an exercise motion, wherein the detachable component comprising the pulley is attachable to a plurality of different mounting points.
2. The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein the exercise platform comprises a spool.
3. The exercise system of claim 2 , wherein the spool is horizontally oriented.
4. The exercise system of claim 3 , wherein the exercise platform comprises a tensioner to maintain tension on the cable within the exercise platform.
5. The exercise system of claim 3 , wherein the exercise platform comprises a roller on the spool.
6. The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein the exercise platform comprises one or more processors configured to anticipate instability.
7. The exercise system of claim 6 , wherein instability is anticipated based at least in part on an inertial model of the exercise platform.
8. The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein the exercise platform comprises two or more cables and the cable is one of the two or more cables.
9. The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein the internal motor is mounted horizontally.
10. The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein the internal motor is mounted vertically.
11. The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein the exercise platform comprises an exit portal on a face of the exercise platform.
12. The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein the cable guiding wrist further comprises at least two pulley sheaves.
