Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for enabling exercise by a user. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a communication unit, a user interface unit, and a processor. The processor may receive user identification data from the user via the user interface unit and retrieve data based on the user identification data from an electronic data store. The processor may use the data to generate an exercise routine and command signals may be sent to an exercise machine based on the generated exercise routine. The processor may receive exercise data from the exercise machine via the communication unit and store the exercise data in the electronic data store.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected at least one of the available competitors start the requested competition program at a same time as the user.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the two or more exercise machines are one of a treadmill, an elliptical, an exercise bicycle, or a controlled weight machine.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the competition program is a race with a plurality of competitors.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more command signals simulate a geographical route.

8. A system comprising:

at least one sensor associated with an exercise machine and/or a user of an exercise machine and configured to measure and record new health data and workout data of the user at a plurality of time points, wherein the workout data of the user comprises at least one of: speed, distance travelled, calories burned, or wattage produced; and

a networked communication device configured to establish wired or wireless communications over a network and to transmit the new health data and the workout data between a host server and the exercise machine of the user via the networked communication device;

wherein the host server is at a location remote from the exercise machine and is configured to: communicate with the network communication device via the network and store data related to a plurality of exercise programs, health data, workout data results of the user, and information related to available competitors using at least another exercise machine networked to the host server; and

wherein the exercise machine of the user comprises:

a non-transitory memory configured to store computer-executable instructions; and

a processor that executes the computer-executable instructions to at least:

receive a request for an exercise program of the plurality of exercise programs from the user of the exercise machine;

retrieve data associated with the requested exercise program, stored user health data, and stored user workout data from the host server using the networked communication device;

identify the requested exercise program retrieved from the host server;

receive the information related to available competitors for the requested exercise program from the host server using the networked communication device, wherein the user selects at least one of the available competitors;

receive workout data for the selected at least one of the available competitors from the host server for the plurality of time points using the networked communication device;

receive the requested exercise program as one or more command signals;

execute the requested exercise program on the exercise machine;

adjust a physical characteristic of the exercise machine based on the one or more command signals, wherein the one or more command signals are at least in part the same for the exercise machine of the user and an exercise machine of the selected at least one of the available competitors at the plurality of time points;
