1. A monitoring system configured to acquire workout information from an exercise equipment device that includes a set of selectable resistive, elements, wherein a net resistance of the exercise equipment device is determined by a selected subset of the resistive elements;
- the monitoring system comprising;
a testing subsystem configured to apply a detectable query to the resistive elements, wherein the detectable query changes state when an exercise repetition is performed, and wherein the change of state indicates the resistive elements that are selected;
a sensing subsystem configured to monitor the state of the detectable query; and
a processor configured to determine the net resistance and to count the number of repetitions performed according to the monitored state of the detectable query.

Abstract
An exercise monitoring system. The monitoring system is configured to acquire workout information from an exercise equipment device that includes a set of selectable resistive elements, such as a weight stack. The monitoring system includes a testing subsystem, sensing subsystem, and processor that cooperate to acquire the workout information by monitoring the set of selectable resistive elements.
