US 11,478,676 B2 · Exercise system

Abstract

According to one example, an exercise system includes a vertical housing, a first weighted touchpoint coupled to the vertical housing and configured to allow a user to exercise one or more muscles on a first side of the user, a first weight system coupled to the first weighted touchpoint, a second weighted touchpoint coupled to the vertical housing and configured to allow the user to exercise one or more muscles on a second side of the user, and a second weight system coupled to the second weighted touchpoint. The exercise system further includes a control system configured to cause the first weight system to automatically provide a first heavier weight to the first weighted touchpoint for a first exercise and further cause the second weight system to automatically provide a second lighter weight to the second weighted touchpoint for the first exercise.

Dependent claims

An exercise system, comprising:

a base;
a vertical housing extending vertically outward from the base;
a plurality of weighted touchpoints coupled to the vertical housing, the plurality of weighted touchpoints comprising:
a first weighted touchpoint coupled to a first side of the vertical housing;
and
a second weighted touchpoint coupled to a second side of the vertical housing;
one or more weight systems coupled to the plurality of weighted touchpoints, the one or more weight systems configured to provide weight to the plurality of weighted touchpoints;
and
a control system configured to:
select a random weight amount for an exercise to be performed by a user;
and
cause the one or more weight systems to provide a first weight to the first weighted touchpoint based on the selected random weight amount, and further cause the one or more weight systems to provide a second weight to the second weighted touchpoint based on the selected random weight amount.

A method, comprising:

selecting, by a control system of an exercise system, offset loading for a first exercise performed on the exercise system;
randomly selecting, by the control system of the exercise system, a first heavier weight to be provided to a first weighted touchpoint that is coupled to a vertical housing of the exercise system and that is configured to allow a user to exercise one or more muscles on a first side of the user;
randomly selecting, by the control system of the exercise system, a second lighter weight to be provided to a second weighted touchpoint that is coupled to the vertical housing of the exercise system and that is configured to allow the user to exercise one or more muscles on a second side of the user;
determining, by the control system of the exercise system, that the user wants to perform the exercise using both the first weighted touchpoint and the second weighted touchpoint;
in response to the determination:
causing, by the control system of the exercise system, a first motor of a first weight system of the exercise system to rotate a first screw in a first direction to cause the first screw to thread into and attach to one or more first preset weight blocks, or in a second direction to cause the first screw to unthread from and detach from the one or more first preset weight blocks, to automatically provide the first heavier weight to the first weighted touchpoint;
and
causing, by the control system of the exercise system, a second motor of a second weight system of the exercise system to rotate a second screw in a third direction to cause the second screw to thread into and attach to one or more second preset weight blocks, or in a fourth direction to cause the second screw to unthread from and detach from the one or more second preset weight blocks, to automatically provide the second lighter weight to the second weighted touchpoint.
