An exercise apparatus includes a motor, an operating member driven by the motor, a sensor operable to detect engagement of a user with the operating member, and a controller in communication with the operating member and the sensor. The controller is configured to generate exercise use data when the operating member is driven by the motor. A communication interface is in communication with the controller. In response to the controller determining that the user is engaged with the operating member, the controller is configured to report the exercise use data to the communication interface. In response to the controller determining that the user is not engaged with the operating member, the controller is configured to stop reporting the exercise use data to the communication interface. The communication interface is configured to communicate the reported exercise use data to a third party.

The level instruction module is configured to instruct the second electronic devices of all the exercise participating equipment to adjust the exercise level of the second exercise apparatus according to the exercise level of the first exercise apparatus at one or more adjustment times.

Group exercise system and method for adjusting personal exercise level in group exercise

An exercise apparatus comprises an exercise apparatus body and an image display connected to a frame of the exercise apparatus body. The image display can move between a first and a second position via a connecting component. When the image display is located at the first position, a display surface of the image display faces rearward, and the center point of the display surface is located in the width region of the exercise apparatus body for a user viewing a video image to perform a first exercise by using the exercise apparatus in a first exercise area. When the image display is located at the second position, the center point of the display surface is located outside the width region of the exercise apparatus body for the user viewing the video image to perform a second exercise in a second exercise area, which is outside the first exercise area.

Exercise apparatus with an image display

A motorized treadmill provided for allowing a user to perform a programed workout. The motorized treadmill includes a base, an endless belt movable relative to the base for allowing a user to exercise thereon, a motor coupled to the endless belt for driving the endless belt to rotate, a signal receiver, and a controller in communication with the motor and the signal receiver. The signal receiver is configured to receive a weight training signal when the user performs the programed workout with free weight equipment. The controller is configured to transmit validated exercise use data when the user is engaging the endless belt. When the signal receiver receives the weight training signal from the free weight equipment, the controller will determine that the user is not engaging the endless belt and stops transmitting the validated exercise use data.

A motorized treadmill includes a base, an endless belt movable relative to the base for allowing a user to exercise thereon, a motor coupled to the endless belt for driving the endless belt to rotate, a retaining mechanism and a controller in communication with the motor. The retaining mechanism has a retaining member mounted at a rear end of the base under the endless belt and a sensor coupled to the retaining member. The sensor is configured to sense whether an object contacts the retaining member. The controller is configured to determine whether rotation of the endless belt is interfered by the object. When the sensor detects that the retaining member comes into contact with the object, the controller determines that the endless belt is interfered by the object and stops rotation of the motor to slow down or stop rotation of the endless belt.

Electric treadmill with safety stop function

An interactive exercise apparatus for guiding a user to perform an exercise includes a frame, a mirror, a display device, a driving mechanism, and a control unit. The mirror is movably mounted on the frame and configured to reflect an image of the user. The display device is disposed on a backside of the mirror and visible through the mirror. The driving mechanism is configured to drive the mirror to move with respect to the frame. The control unit is operable to control the driving mechanism according to a location of the user so as to control the mirror to move to a suitable position where the user can see their reflected image.

Interactive exercise apparatus

An exercise apparatus includes a motor, an operating member driven by the motor, a sensor operable to detect engagement of a user with the operating member, a controller in communication with the operating member and the sensor, and a communication interface in communication with the controller. The controller is configured to generate exercise use data in response to movement of the operating member and the sensor detecting engagement of the user with the operating unit, and the controller transmits the exercise use data to the communication interface.

An exercise apparatus comprises an exercise apparatus body and an image display connected to a front portion of a frame of the exercise apparatus body. The image display can be moved between a first position and at least one second position via a connecting component. When the image display is located at the first position, a display surface of the image display basically faces substantially rearward, and the center point of the display surface is located in the region of the width in the transverse direction of the exercise apparatus body for a user viewing an image to perform a first exercise by using the exercise apparatus in a first exercise area; and when the image display device is located at the second position, the display surface faces substantially rearward, and the center point of the display surface is located outside the region of the width in the transverse direction of the exercise apparatus body for a user viewing the image to perform a second exercise in a second exercise area which is outside the first exercise area.

A treadmill which is driven by movement of a user includes a frame, a continuous belt mounted around the frame, a sensor and a control unit. The continuous belt has a top surface for allowing a user to perform walking, jogging or running thereon. The sensor is configured to detect a rotation speed of the continuous belt. The control unit is configured to control a resistance of the continuous belt and an elevation angle of the top surface of the continuous belt for adjusting the rotation speed of the continuous belt to a predetermined speed. When the rotation speed of the continuous belt is slower than the predetermined speed even the resistance has reached a lower limit of available resistance settings, the control unit is operable to increase the elevation angle of the top surface of the continuous belt to further increase the rotation speed of the continuous belt.

Manual treadmill which can be set to an exercise speed

A motorized treadmill includes a base, an endless belt movable relative to the base for allowing a user to exercise thereon, a motor coupled to the endless belt for driving the endless belt to rotate, a current sensor coupled to the motor, and a controller in communication with the motor and the current sensor. The current sensor is configured to detect a motor current of the motor when using the motorized treadmill. The controller is configured to analyze fluctuations of the motor current to determine whether objects or children interfere with rotation of the endless belt. When the current sensor detects a current change not associated with the user of the motorized treadmill, the controller determines that the endless belt is interfered by objects or children and stops operation of the motor to slow or stop rotation of the endless belt.

A stationary exercise device having variable footpaths is disclosed. The exercise device includes a frame, a pair of supporting members that have a first end to rotate about an axis and a second end to move along a reciprocating path, a pair of pedals joined to the supporting members, and a guider assembly for adjusting an incline angle of the reciprocating path.
