Workout Machine

A workout machine having a base and a lifting handle adapted to adjust a length of a cable, the workout machine adapted to be used with a smart device with built-in accelerometers and a complementary app including:

• a deck pivotable relative to the base;
• a lifting gear assembly mounted on an underside of the deck, which operationally uses the cable via a pulley also on the underside to the lifting handle, the lifting gear assembly includes a spiral lifting mechanism and a graduated spooling mechanism centered on a shaft, the spiral lifting mechanism having a logarithmic groove;
• a cam follower fixed on the base wherein the cam follower is inserted in the logarithmic groove;
• the deck raises a distance equal to a distance between a center most groove point of the spiral lifting mechanism to an outer most groove point of the spiral lifting mechanism resulting in a user lifting a percentage of her own bodyweight;
• and
• a user location pivot arm fixed to the deck and a screen stand extending substantially vertically from the deck, the user location pivot arm and the screen stand pivotably attached to a screen platform adapted to hold the smart device,
• the smart device interfaces with information from movement of the screen stand via the user location pivot arm,
• wherein the user's position on the deck indicates resistance of the exercise based on a percentage of lifting the user's own bodyweight that the user is lifting.
