1. A method for flagging irregularities in user performance in an exercise machine system, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processing unit operatively connected to a first exercise machine, first performance parameters of a first user of the first exercise machine that is executing a video workout program to enable the first user to perform a workout on the first exercise machine;
detecting, by the processing unit, an irregularity in the first performance parameters that indicates a performance of the workout by the first user is different than expected, wherein the irregularity is detected based on a comparison between the first performance parameters and expected performance parameters; and
displaying, in response to the detecting of the irregularity and on a leaderboard displayed by a display of a second exercise device, a visually discernable indication associated with a first performance indicator of the first user to visually indicate the irregularity, the first performance indicator of the first user being based on the first performance parameters.
