An apparatus includes a first cable, a first motor configured to provide first tension to the first cable, a second cable coupled to the first cable at an end effector, and a second motor configured to provide second tension to the second cable. The first cable and the second cable are routed such that the first tension and the second tension combine to provide a force on the end effector. At least one of the first tension or the second tension is directed at least partially in a downward direction.

Fitness equipment includes an electric motor and an end effector coupled to the electric motor. The electric motor is configured to interact with a user during performance of an exercise task by the user, and the electric motor is operable to provide a force to the end effector. The fitness equipment also includes a sensor configured to measure an attribute of performance of a game task by the user and circuitry programmed to simulate an action in a virtual game based on both the attribute of the performance of the game task by the user and an attribute of the performance of the exercise task by the user.

An exercise apparatus includes a cable, a motor configured to apply a tension to the cable, a first pulley, a second pulley, a first connection point configured to selectively redirect the cable through a gap between the first pulley and the second pulley such that the first connection point experiences a first force corresponding to double the tension, and a second connection point coupled to the cable and experiencing a second force corresponding to the tension.

A strength training assembly includes a stand and a frame movable along the stand in a vertical direction. The frame includes a cradle configured to receive a barbell. The strength training also includes a drive system coupled to the frame and controllable to affect a velocity of the frame relative to the stand, a force sensor coupled to the frame such that the force sensor moves with the frame, the force sensor configured to provide a signal indicative of an amount of force exerted on the force sensor by a user, and a controller configured to receive the signal from the force sensor and control the drive system such that the velocity of the frame varies as a function of the amount of force exerted on the force sensor.

An exercise apparatus includes a motor configured to generate a force experienced by a user of the exercise apparatus, a video monitor, and circuitry. The circuitry is configured to obtain an augmented video file from a remote streaming service. The augmented video file comprises a video and a plurality of settings. The augmented video file associates the plurality of settings with a plurality of time steps during a runtime of the video. The circuitry is also configured to cause the video monitor to display the video, and, at each of the plurality of time steps during the runtime of the video, control the motor in accordance with the setting associated with the time step.

A strength training apparatus includes a rack configured to hold a bar between exercises performed using the bar, at least one light source coupled to the rack, and a controller communicable with the light sources. The controller is programmed to determine a desired range of motion for a current exercise and control the at least one light source to display an illumination pattern based on the desired range of motion.

An exercise apparatus includes a cable, a motor configured to apply a tension to the cable, a first pulley, a second pulley, a first connection point configured to selectively redirect the cable through a gap between the first pulley and the second pulley such that the first connection point experiences a first force corresponding to double the tension, and a second connection point coupled to the cable and experiencing a second force corresponding to the tension.

An exercise apparatus includes a first cable, a first motor configured to apply a tension to the first cable, a pair of pulleys, and a terminal. The first cable extends from the first motor, past the pair of pulleys, and to the terminal, and the terminal constrains a distal end of the first cable from retracting toward the first motor away from the terminal such that at least a minimum length of the first cable is maintained between the first motor and the terminal. The exercise apparatus also includes a first connection point between the pair of pulleys, wherein the first connection point is configured to selectively redirect the cable between the pair of pulley such that the first connection point experiences a first force corresponding to double the tension.

A method of guiding pacing of a strength training exercise includes receiving a selection of a current exercise from a plurality of available exercises, determining an illumination pattern based on a desired pacing for the current exercise, and controlling a lighting system to display a plurality of repetitions of the illumination pattern.

Exercise equipment includes a motor, a cable coupled to the motor such that the motor is operable to create a tension in the cable, a sensor arranged to measure a parameter affected by tapping of a foot of a user of the exercise equipment, and control circuitry programmed to modify operation of the motor in response to detecting a pattern in the parameter as measured by the sensor.
