1. A method for managing the use of an exercise machine by multiple users for performing physical exercises, comprising steps of:
a1) obtaining from a remote electronic processor, by a data processing unit of the exercise machine, following an authentication procedure performed on the exercise machine by a first user having a respective user profile, a code identifying the first user and one or more pieces of information representative of the user profile of the first user for using the exercise machine for a respective physical exercise;
a2) storing in a local memory unit of the exercise machine, by the data processing unit of the exercise machine, the obtained code identifying the first user and said obtained one or more pieces of information representative of the user profile of the first user;
b1) obtaining from the remote electronic processor, by the data processing unit of the exercise machine, following an authentication procedure performed on the exercise machine by at least one second user having a respective user profile, a code identifying the at least one second user and one or more pieces of information representative of the user profile of the at least one second user for using the exercise machine for a respective physical exercise;
b2) storing in the local memory unit of the exercise machine, by the data processing unit of the exercise machine, the obtained code identifying the at least one second user and said obtained one or more pieces of information representative of the user profile of at least one second user; and
c1) setting the exercise machine, by the data processing unit of the exercise machine, following a selection of either the first user or the at least one second user performed on the exercise machine to be used for performing the respective physical exercise by either the first user or the at least one second user, based on either the code identifying the first user or the code identifying the at least one second user corresponding to a selected user of either the first user or the at least one second user;
performing a log-out procedure on the exercise machine, by the data processing unit of the exercise machine, for both the first user and the at least one second user.
