Current Inventor Spotlight Honoree
Terry Jones
Inventor, Nexersys
It is no coincidence that Nexersys was conceived and developed
in Austin, Texas, one of the fittest cities in America and
home to one of the most creative gaming communities in the
world. Austin based product developer Terry Jones brought
together a team of engineers, programmers, animators and developers
to create the most intelligent and interactive fitness
product ever. Nexersys is the first fitness and gaming
product that provides the benefits and value of a Personal
Trainer via High Intensity MMA Interval Training (“HIIT”)
Work Outs. In place of the trainer’s body, Nexersys
has a vertical steel frame set on a stable base, which is
connected to a sturdy base. The spine is vertically adjustable
to fit individual heights from 5' to 6'6". In place of
a human trainer’s two arms, Nexersys has seven arms,
each holding target pads (head, body, kidney & legs).
The pads are similar in size, shape, and weight to focus mitts
trainers use on their hands to teach and train striking technique
and skills in boxing and MMA workouts. To replicate the arm
movements trainers make to dissipate the energy from the user’s
strikes, Nexersys’ arms are designed with “Compressive
Resistance” in each arm (emulating a trainer’s
elbow) and in the attachment to the spine (emulating a trainer’s
shoulder).
In place of a human trainer’s brain and sensory elements
in their hands, Nexersys has a fully functioning computer
connected to accelerometers located in each of its seven pads.
The computer provides HIIT workouts via video and animated
teaching and training rounds. Like a human trainer, Nexersys
calls for a strike or action from its user, then it records
the user’s effort in terms of accuracy, speed, reaction
and power based on the feedback from the accelerometers. In
place of a human trainer’s eyes and mouth, Nexersys
has a flat screen LCD monitor with speakers. The monitor delivers
images of the technique and work that Nexersys wants the user
to perform while also delivering encouragement and feedback
based on the user’s actual work during a session and
relevant to their current efforts. Nexersys on board intelligence
ensures its users receive a unique work out every time they
train and improve with each session. Nexersys “2 Way
Communication” provides a first of its kind experience
in the fitness space.
Nexersys future includes peer to peer game play and group
competitions and engagement. Nexersys is the Next Generation
Exercise System that provides users of all ages, shape, gender
and ability, the opportunity to enjoy an intense, intelligent
and competitive fitness experience which will deliver a Hard
Body and Sharp Mind.
