Abstract
A system for measuring, displaying, storing and utilizing user-specific exercise data from selectorized fitness machines, including the weight, repetitions, and any other physical parameters derivable from the weight and displacement of the weight stack. The system is comprised of two coupled sensor systems: an infrared sensor and multiple Hall effect sensors. The sensors are mounted to an adjustable stand that can be retrofitted to any selectorized fitness machine. The system analyzes the measurements and sends the data to a server for storage on a per-user basis. Users are identified by a near-field communication (NFC) tag or facial recognition. The system uses an innovative coupled NFC/QR/facial recognition—Bluetooth paradigm to transmit exercise data in real-time to the Bluetooth-enabled mobile device of the user. A mobile application allows users to view the exercise data, to follow predefined workout plan, and to retrieve stored data from a remote server.
