1. An exercise system comprising:
an exercise device comprising one or more resistance modules wherein each respective module of said one or more resistance modules includes a coil storage spool configured to wrap and unwrap a respective pull cord emanating from each said resistance module, each said respective pull cord terminating at an outer end which is manually displaceable by a user during exercising, each said resistance unit at least generating resistance to extension of said respective pull cord, and said resistance unit further collecting training data in real time relating to physical movement of said respective pull cord wherein said training data indicates performance characteristics of the user during said exercises;
a graphical user interface of a computing device displaying a performance dashboard, wherein said computing device receives said real time training data generated by physical movement of said respective pull cord and said dashboard displays said real time training data and/or interpretive training data, which is based upon said real time training data, said dashboard having one or more display sections which correspond to a respective said pull cord and include graphical displays of said real time training data and said interpretive training data indicating whether physical performance and said real time training data is providing improvements relating to power, strength, endurance, hypertrophy or combinations thereof; and
said interpretive training data being displayed on said graphical user interface as an indicator in combination with a graphical display showing a plurality of exercise phases comprising at least an aerobic phase, a strength phase and a hypertrophy phase wherein said user is capable of adjusting their physical performance in real time to move said indicator to a desired one of said exercise phases.
