Abstract
A treadmill includes a frame, a running belt coupled to the frame, and a handrail coupled to the frame. The treadmill further includes a display device configured to display information to a user of the treadmill, and a light source coupled to the handrail. The light source is configured to emit a light at least partly away from a front of the treadmill, whereby at least one of a color, a transition characteristic, or a brightness of light from the light source is varied based on collected use information.
Claims20
A treadmill, comprising:
- a frame;
- a running belt coupled to the frame;
- a handrail coupled to the frame;
- a display device configured to display information to a user of the treadmill;
- and
- a light source coupled to the handrail and configured to emit a light at least partly away from a front of the treadmill, wherein at least one of a color, a transition characteristic, or a brightness of light from the light source is varied based on collected use information.
A treadmill, comprising:
- a frame;
- a running belt coupled to the frame, the running belt configured to rotate relative to the frame;
- a handrail coupled to the frame;
- at least one sensor configured to collect information regarding use of the treadmill;
- at least one light source coupled to the handrail;
- and
- a controller in communication with the at least one light source and configured to vary at least one of a color, a transition characteristic, or a brightness of emitted light from the at least one light source at least partly based on the collected information from the at least one sensor.
A treadmill, comprising:
- a frame;
- a running belt coupled to the frame;
- a handrail coupled to the frame;
- and
- a plurality of light sources that are each configured to emit a light that varies in at least one of a brightness, a transition characteristic, or a color based on detected information regarding a use of the treadmill;
- wherein at least one of the plurality of light sources is coupled to the handrail and is configured to selectively emit light outward and away from the treadmill.
