Abstract

Techniques are provided for determining a circuit training path in a smart gym for an exerciser to perform an exercise program in order to minimize user contention for exercise equipment. The training path is defined by the exerciser visiting a number of exercise machines in the order specified by a system. The system determines a next exercise machine for the exerciser to visit which addresses the personal exercise program. In making this determination, the system communicates with all station agent nodes in the system to determine the set of station agent nodes that have an associated exercise machine which operate to address the personal exercise program. Out of that set of station agent nodes, the system reserves the next exercise machine associated with one of the set of station agent nodes that has a state value reflecting the least waiting time for the exerciser.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention generally relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for improving circuit training in a smart gym, and more particularly, to advantageous systems, methods, and computer program products for determining a circuit training path in a smart gym for efficient utilization of exercise equipment. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Circuit training exercise programs typically consist of defining an ordered set of exercises performed on exercise equipment to work out particular muscles or muscle groups, each exercise having an associated duration or repetition count, and associated levels of resistance. Traditional gyms provide a limited number of stand alone pieces of exercise equipment, or stations, on which to accomplish these exercise sets. Each station can be used to perform a small set of specifically targeted exercises, for example, a tricep machine is operated by a user to exercise the user's tricep muscles, the target...
