Abstract
An exercise apparatus includes a base, an operating unit movable relative to the base, a motor coupled to the operating unit, a sensor operable to detect engagement of a user with the operating unit, and a controller in communication with the operating unit and the sensor. A communication interface is in communication with the controller, wherein the controller is configured to generate a non-validated exercise use data in response to movement of the operating unit relative to the base and the sensor does not detect engagement of the user with the operating unit, wherein the controller is further configured to generate a validated exercise use data in response to movement of the operating unit relative to the base and the sensor does detect engagement of the user with the operating unit, and wherein the controller transmits the validated exercise use data to the communication interface.
