Modular exercise device
A base exercise device includes at least one modular connection. The base exercise device is operable without any modular units connected to one of the modular connections. A modular unit may be physically connected to the base exercise device. The modular unit includes at least one exercise feature that is not included in the base exercise device.
1. A kit for an exercise device, comprising:
a base unit comprising a plurality of modular connections, wherein the base unit comprises a deck assembly and the plurality of modular connections are located at the base unit; and
a plurality of modular units physically connectable to the base unit at the plurality of modular connections, each modular unit of the plurality of modular units comprising at least one exercise feature not included in the base unit.
2. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of modular connections are located at different locations on the base unit.
3. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the at least one exercise feature comprises a base display, and wherein the plurality of modular units comprise:
a console associated with the base display; and
a console hinge configured to change an orientation of the base display.
4. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the base unit is operable for exercise activities independent of use of any of the plurality of modular units.
5. The kit of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of modular connections comprises both a physical connection and an electronic connection.
6. The kit of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of modular connections is interchangeable.
7. The kit of claim 1 , wherein at least two of the plurality of modular units are a same exercise feature.
8. An exercise system, comprising;
a base unit comprising:
a deck;
a front pulley at a front end of the deck;
a back pulley at a back end of the deck;
a tread belt strung between the front pulley and the back pulley and around the deck; and
a plurality of modular connections; and
a plurality of modular units physically connected to the deck at the plurality of modular connections, the plurality of modular units comprising at least one exercise feature excluded from the base unit.
9. The exercise system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of modular connections are located at different locations on the deck.
10. The exercise system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one exercise feature comprises a base display, and wherein the plurality of modular units comprise:
a console associated with the base display; and
a console hinge configured to change an orientation of the base display.
11. The exercise system of claim 8 , wherein the base unit is operable for exercise activities independent of use of any of the plurality of modular units.
12. The exercise system of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the plurality of modular connections comprises both a physical connection and an electronic connection.
13. The exercise system of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the plurality of modular connections is interchangeable.
14. The exercise system of claim 8 , wherein at least two of the plurality of modular units are a same exercise feature.
