Abstract
A system and method for efficient automation of a fitness circuit is disclosed. The system includes a number of networked client computers positioned at workout stations. The client computers are coordinated by a primary client computer which serves as a relay between the client computers and a centralized circuit control system where circuit scheduling and workout details are defined. The method includes enabling an exerciser to scan an issued identification card at each workout station. A client computer positioned at the workout station retrieves and displays workout information specific to the user and further instructs user when to progress to the next circuit station.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method for improving the effectiveness of circuit training, said method including:
- receiving, at a host computer, a user request for a workout schedule from a client computer;
- retrieving, from a database, workout data associated with a user;
- determining, at said host computer, a number of stations in a workout circuit based on said workout data, wherein said number of stations is added to an instruction set associated with said user;
- identifying, at said host computer, a station based on said workout data, wherein said station is added to said instruction set;
- creating reservation data, at said host computer, to facilitate reserving said station for a duration of time;
- configuring, at said host computer, an optimum weight setting for said station based on said workout data, wherein said optimum weight setting is added to said instruction set;
- and,
- transmitting said instruction set to said client computer.
A computer-readable storage medium encoded with processing instructions for implementing a method, said processing instructions directing a computer to perform the steps of:
- receiving, at a host computer, a user request for a workout schedule from a client computer;
- retrieving, from a database, workout data associated with a user;
- determining, at said host computer, a number of stations in a workout circuit based on said workout data, wherein said number of stations is added to an instruction set associated with said user;
- identifying, at said host computer, a station based on said workout data, wherein said station is added to said instruction set;
- creating reservation data, at said host computer, to facilitate reserving said station for a duration of time;
- configuring, at said host computer, an optimum weight setting for said station based on said workout data, wherein said optimum weight setting is added to said instruction set;
- and,
- transmitting said instruction set to said client computer.
A system including a host computer, a plurality of stations and a client computer associated with each of said plurality of stations, said host computer configured to:
- receiving, at said host computer, a user request for a workout schedule from said client computer;
- retrieving, from a database, workout data associated with a user;
- determining, at said host computer, a number of stations in a workout circuit based on said workout data, wherein said number of stations is added to an instruction set associated with said user;
- identifying, at said host computer, a station based on said workout data, wherein said station is added to said instruction set;
- creating reservation data, at said host computer, to facilitate reserving said station for a duration of time;
- configuring, at said host computer, an optimum weight setting for said station based on said workout data, wherein said optimum weight setting is added to said instruction set;
- and,
- transmitting said instruction set to said client computer.
