Exercise leaderboard

A system comprising:

• an exercise device comprising a display and one or more sensors;
• and
• a server configured to:
• receive, from a first exercise device and by a wireless adapter of the server via a network, first user parameters of a first user of the first exercise device;
• receive a respective set of second user parameters of a plurality of second users, wherein the plurality of second users comprises a first quantity of users;
• generate a plurality of simulated users based at least in part on receiving the respective set of second user parameters of the plurality of second users, wherein each simulated user of the plurality of simulated users corresponds to a respective second user of the plurality of second users;
• assign weights to the plurality of simulated users;
• using the assigned weights, rank the plurality of simulated users based on similarity to the first user;
• select a subset of the ranked plurality of simulated users based on similarity to the first user, wherein the subset of the ranked plurality of simulated users comprises a second quantity of users that is less than the first quantity of users;
• determine a respective second performance metric of each of the second quantity of users included in the selected subset of the plurality of simulated users for a workout program, each respective second performance metric comprising an aggregation of the respective set of second user parameters of a second user corresponding to a respective simulated user of the subset of the plurality of simulated users;
• determine a first performance metric of the first user for the workout program during execution of the workout program by the first user;
• compare the respective second performance metric of each of the second quantity of users included in the selected subset of the plurality of simulated users with the first performance metric of the first user, wherein a computational cost of comparing the respective second performance metric of each of the second quantity of users with the first performance metric of the first user is based at least in part on the second quantity of users;
• and
• cause to be displayed, on the display of the first exercise device, during execution of the workout program by the first user, a leaderboard indicative of the comparison of the first performance metric of the first user and the respective second performance metric of each of the second quantity of users in the selected subset of the plurality of simulated users.
