A computerised method (200, fig 2) for configuring and operating one or more fitness studios (111) each comprising a plurality of exercise stations (128) at which users (1315) perform associated exercise routines (319), each station having an associated display (120), the method comprising, for each fitness studio, periodically retrieving (205), by a server (101) from a database (105), studio information (213) for the studio in question for a specified period, from a multi-period fitness library (104); communicating (207), by the server to a studio computer (114), the retrieved studio information over a communications network (107); periodically receiving (303), by the studio computer, the retrieved studio information; configuring (308) the exercise stations dependent upon the received studio information; and communicating (310), by the studio computer to the exercise station displays, dependent upon the received studio information, station directions (319) to users exercising at the stations for performing an exercise. The studio information preferably includes the physical layout of the exercise stations and the configuring may include repositioning the exercise stations. |
