Keith was the fitness trainer

Even the dumbbells are smart. All of our free weights and weight machines have equipment dongles. The dongles fuse feeds from on-board accelerometers, gyroscopes and other sensors to very precisely track the motion of each piece of equipment. With free weights, the dongle is simply attached with velcro. With weight machines, it replaces the normal weight selector pin.

With these simple little scrappy devices, we’re now able to track all kinds of nuanced information about your workout – and do so without throwing out what is otherwise still very useful equipment.

The heart of the Green Lake Community Fitness technology though is an dataset artificial intelligence system developed by another two software engineers here in Seattle back in 2018, building off of what was then Tensor Flow, Google’s first iteration of its Open Source artificial intelligence platform.

Be Smart About Your WorkoutWe called the system “Keith” since at our gym who worked most closely with the developers in building the first iterations of the underlying machine intelligence. If you prefer a woman trainer, you can call on virtual “Chris” (yep, another trainer at our gym).

When you approach a machine, your workout wand temporarily partners with the dongle for each piece of equipment and draws on the artificial intelligence to adjust your workout routine in real-time. It also automatically records everything you do as for your records and as a feedback loop and source of learning for future workouts.
