Abstract
A cooling assembly is disclosed for cooling an exerciser while exercising. The cooling assembly includes a plurality of air outlets supported by at least one extended cooling structure, and includes at least one cooling air input. Each air outlet is in airflow communication with a cooling air input. The plurality of air outlets is arranged along the at least one extended cooling structure so as to at least partially surround the exerciser with cooling air. Each extended cooling structure is cooperative with at least one support mechanism for supporting the extended cooling structure. Each at least one cooling air input is connectable to a cooling air source for supplying a flow of cooling air. At least partially surrounding the exerciser with cooling air results in more comfortable exercise sessions, while also saving energy by more efficient cooling of each exerciser as compared with typical gym cooling systems.
