Abstract
Systems and methods to implement a fitness network system are disclosed. A disclosed example system includes a first data terminal operatively coupled to an exercise machine. The first data terminal is configured to obtain fitness information associated with a fitness member from the exercise machine. The example system also includes a personal digital assistant wirelessly communicatively coupled to the first data terminal via a network. The first data terminal is configured to communicate a first message to the personal digital assistant based on the fitness information. The personal digital assistant enables a fitness trainer to communicate a message to the fitness member based on the first message.
