EXPANDED BLUETOOTH CAPABILITIES

Bluetooth on the XS1 has been revamped to include not only enhanced visibility for OxeDots and heart rate monitor (HRM), but brand new compatibility for external audio devices (headphones and speakers). Easily manage bluetooth devices and pairing from the XS1 bluetooth menu. Nearby bluetooth devices will appear in one of the three sections:

01. CONNECTED:  Bluetooth devices currently paired to your XS1.
02. SAVED:  Bluetooth devices previously paired to your XS1, in conjunction with either your user profile or another's when multi-users share XS1.
03. SCANNED:  Bluetooth devices nearby in which your XS1 has detected a signal for. 

To preserve battery life, OxeDots will disconnect when XS1 is not in use. Click each OxeDot to wake it before each training session and allow a few seconds for it to connect. The toolbar will display a number next to the OxeDot icon to indicate how many units are currently paired.

Up to three OxeDots can be connected at a time, along with one audio device and one HRM. This functionality allows an active user to have their bluetooth headphones and wearable HRM device paired and in use simultaneously while training, while also using three separate OxeDots for the most fluent experience.

Please refer to this XS1 Bluetooth Settings help article in our support center for the complete overview of bluetooth settings and device-specific functionality.

LIFT WITH INSTANT VIRTUAL SPOTTER

The advanced setting Virtual Spotter now has an additional option to select from named GRADUAL REDUCE. This option is primarily useful in helping you push through fatigue to reach a higher rep count, but while keeping a relatively high weight load. See each of the three Virtual Spotter options described below for easy comparison.

Gradual Return: The load will gradually decrease when assistance is needed to complete the concentric phase of a rep and will then Return to the full amount once the rep is complete.

Gradual Reduce: The load will gradually decrease when assistance is needed to complete the concentric phase of a rep and will then remain at the Reduced amount for the next rep.

Instant: The resistance will be unloaded completely when you are unable to complete the concentric phase of the rep.

GIVE INVERTED CHAINS A TRY

The advanced setting Chains now has an inverted option. When using the inverted setting, the load will decrease throughout the concentric phase and increase throughout the eccentric phase, with the full chain weight applied at the “bottom” of your range of motion. This training method is designed to maximize your force output during the onset of each concentric phase.

SET ADAPTIVE TARGET SPEED

Prior to this release, the Adaptive advanced setting would use a standard target concentric speed to gauge your reps in determining whether to increase or decrease the load. 

The advanced setting Adaptive now provides a range for which you can set the target average concentric speed. This empowers you to adjust the target according to the specific exercise selected and the movement involved to perform it. Set the target speed higher for more explosive exercises and lower for less explosive exercises.

STACK MULTIPLE ADVANCED SETTINGS

Experience training with multiple advanced settings applied at once. This capability is made possible by structuring the advanced settings into two tiers based on certain functionalities, limitations, and training physics.

The first tier includes the three base modes Standard, Reactive, and Adaptive, one of which will need to be selected first to determine which other advanced settings can be stacked with it. Standard is the default mode to indicate no base mode setting is applied.

The second tier includes all other advanced settings. The visibility, however, will change based on which base mode is applied in the first tier. Only the “stackable” advanced settings will populate here for you to select.

UNLOAD AT TARGET REP COUNT

The Target Rep Count feature allows you to set and easily adjust how many reps you want to achieve before each set. Access to this feature is now available for all strength exercises and will be visible in the bottom right corner of screen for quick and easy access.

Target Rep Count also includes a new, optional Unload At Target Rep Count function that can be turned ON/OFF for each set. When this function is turned on during exercise, the cable weight will automatically unload as soon as the rep count is reached. When turned off, the notification sound will still play to indicate rep count reached, but the weight will remain loaded.

Using the ON/OFF slider to engage or disengage this function can only be done in between sets while the weight is unloaded, not while exercise is in progress.

Unload At Target Rep Count can be a great addition if you want to eliminate a few steps and cruise through your training sessions faster.

MORE WAYS TO FREESTYLE

Two additional Freestyle Mode setups have been configured. (01) Single Cable + Harness:  use the harness accessory with a single cable from either the slide or deck to perform an exercise. (2) Deck + Rope:  use the rope accessory with a single cable from the deck to perform an exercise.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING IN OXEPLAY

A new gaming experience is now available in OxePlay called Skiing. Enjoy the new cross-country skiing game which features three separate tracks to master: Flat, Downhill, and Hilly. This game fully utilizes OxeFit’s unique force plate technology, enabling you to steer by shifting your body weight and perform jumps to make your skier launch over fallen trees scattered throughout the course. You can choose from different experience levels to race against time, race against someone else, or have fun challenging your friends and family, and all while earning achievements.

BETTER BALANCE METER

A visual re-design of the Balance Meter is now in effect and can be viewed by turning this Advanced Setting ON before starting an exercise. In addition to enhancing the overall aesthetic appearance of the Balance Meter, this re-design is geared towards an improved, even more rapid cognitive recognition of its real-time feedback projections.
