An exercise device is configured to enable a user to interact with a trainer in real-time communication. The exercise device includes an exercise mechanism having a movable element for movement in performance of exercise by a user. Communicating with the exercise mechanism is an interface adapted for gathering a first real-time signal from the user. The interface communicates with a communication system for receiving a packetized second real-time signal including a synchronized control signal from the trainer. The exercise device includes an output device configured to reproduce the second real-time signal. The control signals carried by the second signal are used to control the operating parameters of the exercise mechanism in real-time.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of controlling one or more operating parameters of an exercise module of a user module, the method comprising the steps of: (a) preparing a first signal for delivery to a communication module remote from the user module, the communication module being in communication with a trainer module; (b) in response to the first signal, at the communication module, producing and packetizing programming having one or more control signals for controlling the one or more operating parameters of the exercise device; and (c) upon receiving the programming at the user module, reproducing and depacketizing the programming and adjusting the one or more operating parameters of the exercise module in response to the one or more control signals. 2. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the preparing step comprises: (a) gathering one or more signals representative of a user exercising on the exercise module; and (b) manipulating the one or more signals into a form capable of being delivered via a network to the communication module. 3. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the first and second signals are each real time signals and wherein the programming is reproduced and depacketized in real time. 4. A method as recited in claim 3, wherein the producing and packetizing step comprises: (a) transmitting the first real-time signal to a trainer module located at a distant location from the user module; (b) in response to the first real-time signal, creating the programming and the one or more control signals; and (c) synchronizing the programming and the one or more control signals before transmittal to the communication module. 5. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the producing and packetizing step comprises: (a) selecting the programming from a data storage module of the communication module; (b) in response to the first signal, generating the one or more control signals; and (c) synchronizing the programming and the one or more control signals. 6.

A method as recited in claim 9, wherein reproducing the programming comprising reproducing at least one of an audio portion of the programming and a video portion of the programming. 12. A method as recited in claim 1, further comprising delivering the first signal from the communication system to a remote trainer system. 13. A method as recited in claim 12, wherein the first signal comprises at least one of audio data and video data. 14. A method as recited in claim 13, further comprising reproducing at least one of the audio data and the video data. 15. A method as recited in claim 9, further comprising collecting the first signal at the exercise device, the first signal comprising at least one of audio data and video data. 16. A method as recited in claim 15, further comprising capturing the audio data with a microphone and capturing the video data with a video camera. 17. A method as recited in claim 9, further comprising delivering the programming from the communication system to the exercise device by way of a communication network, the communication network is a network selected from the group consisting of a local area network, a wide area network, a wireless network, a packetized network, or a real-time network. 18. A method of controlling one or more operating parameters of an exercise device, the method comprising the steps of: (a) receiving a first signal from an exercise device at a distant location; (b) in response to the first signal, producing and packetizing programming having one or more control signals for controlling the one or more operating parameters of the exercise device; and (c) upon producing and packetizing the programming, transmitting the packetized programming to the exercise device that is configured to reproduce and depacketize the programming and adjust the one or more operating parameters of the exercise device in response to the control signals. 19. A method as recited in claim 18, wherein the first signal comprises a real time signal. 20. A method as recited in claim 18, further comprising receiving the first signal at a trainer system.
