Stereo Gym Equipment and Weight Rack Data

It is first-person video of a person doing gym upkeep, recorded with two calibrated cameras, with hand pose and sensor streams alongside. People reach it through several phrasings: gym robot training data, stereo weight rack organization video, egocentric gym equipment setup dataset, or custom fitness facility data collection at scale. They describe one request from different angles. Stereo describes the capture, and MCAP describes the container. They are separate choices.

The site does not state that stereo is already running on these rows. The catalog lists a head-mounted phone or a multiview rig as the capture setup, so a stereo pair is a capture choice agreed in the skill spec and confirmed on a Spec Pilot. The data is human capture by paid, consented contributors, not robot or teleoperation data, so using it for a specific robot still needs your own retargeting step. It is facility work, not exercise: neither row describes a person training. Firsthand is not affiliated with Foxglove or the MCAP maintainers.

Two, listed in lib/commercial-catalog-data.ts under the Gym & Fitness Studio environment in the Sports, Recreation & Wellness sector. "Equipment setup" is described as setting up benches, racks and machines for a class and adjusting weights and settings. "Weight rack organization" is described as returning dumbbells, plates and bars to the racks in order and tidying the weight area. Both are rated Easy and both are listed as Available on request.

The site defines Available on request as work that a spec starts, rather than a running capture stream a spec can join. That is a statement about the catalog row, not a promise of a delivery date. The site states no delivered hours and no delivered stereo footage for either row, so this page claims none. A third row in the same environment, "Floor cleaning", is outside this page and is covered by the stereo floor mopping page. The first table below reproduces the two rows as the catalog states them.

This page is the stereo and MCAP treatment of equipment setup and weight rack organization. The egocentric gym and fitness facility page covers all three Gym & Fitness Studio rows, including floor cleaning and equipment wipe-down, as first-person video, and stereo is not its subject. It is the non-stereo page for the same environment.

The stereo floor mopping page covers nine mopping, floor-care and janitorial rows, one of which is gym floor cleaning, as stereo capture with MCAP delivery. That is floor work with a mop, not setting up equipment or re-racking weights. The second table below sets the pages side by side with each status as the site lists it.

The catalog lists "Phone (head-mounted) / multiview rig" for both rows. The site does not state a stereo pair for either of them. Stereo applies through the site’s general stereo offer: a stereo pair is a capture choice agreed in the skill spec and confirmed on a Spec Pilot. The site also states that Firsthand does not capture at a customer’s own facility, so the setting is agreed in the spec.

The site describes two stereo setups and does not say which one an order for these rows uses. The hard-environments stack is a global-shutter 4K/60 head camera with a 120° lens, two 1080p/60 wrist cameras, a depth sensor at 848×480 and 30 fps, and 200 Hz 6-DoF IMUs. The off-the-shelf stereo head rig, dataset 06, is dual fisheye cameras at 1080p per eye, a 62 mm baseline, per-unit calibration, a 9-axis IMU and hand-tracking output. Camera count, resolution and frame rate for gym work are Not stated.

Gym upkeep is about where an item meets a place: how a bar is gripped, where a plate sits on a rack, how a bench is positioned and how a setting is adjusted. A stereo pair recovers depth from the calibrated frame pair rather than from a standalone depth sensor, so the geometry sits in the same capture that shows the hands working. The site gives no depth accuracy figure for these rows, so what a buyer does with that depth is their pipeline’s question.

A stereo pair adds depth, not a verdict. The site lists no weight value, load, item count or success label for these rows, and none is claimed. The egocentric gym page already supplies the first-person framing; stereo is the addition for a buyer who wants the depth and the MCAP file.

The rows give a natural cut. The setup row places benches, racks and machines and then adjusts weights and settings, so a placement is followed by a different hand action. The rack row returns dumbbells, plates and bars to the racks in order and then tidies the weight area, so one episode can be a long run of similar steps. A spec that says "set up the gym" gives one long action segment. A spec that names the steps gives a sequence you can slice by step.

Whether placing and adjusting are one segment or two, and whether each returned item is its own segment, is a spec decision, not a default. The site does not set an episode length, so the spec says whether one episode is one item, one rack, one class setup or a whole session. The catalog does not say what "in order" means for the rack row, so a spec should say whether order is by item type, by size or by position. Contact events can mark when a hand meets an item, where the spec asks for them.

A plate, a bar and a hand can all sit between the lens and the work. The site states that the hands occlude the work and that fingers disappear behind objects. That is why each hand joint carries a visibility flag, why contact events mark when the hand meets the item, and why instance masks are recorded per frame. It also states that reach and grasp frames are where blur and occlusion show up, and the head camera in the hard-environments stack is global-shutter, which avoids rolling-shutter skew.

The site does not state how depth or masks behave on racks full of similar-looking dumbbells, plates or bars, and the catalog row text does not describe item finishes. It states that depth degrades on wet and reflective surfaces, with confidence maps masking low-confidence regions. Whether gym metal counts as reflective for this purpose is Not stated. If your policy depends on telling one item from the next, say so in the spec and settle it on a Spec Pilot.

The site states that glare-heavy and low-texture scenes make single-frame depth worse, and that depth degrades on wet and reflective surfaces. A mirrored wall, a polished floor and a metal rack are plausible cases, but the site does not say how often they occur or how depth behaves on them. A lighting setup for the gym rows is Not stated.

Where a program needs a specific layout, lighting or background, that goes into the spec and is checked on a Spec Pilot. An episode is rejected when more than 35 percent of depth pixels in the manipulation region are invalid, and for this job the spec decides what the manipulation region is at each step. Equipment models, item counts, rack layouts and facility sizes beyond the benches, racks, machines, dumbbells, plates and bars named in the catalog are Not stated.

This page makes no injury, safety, liability or certification claim: all of those are Not stated. The site states no weight ranges, no lifting standards and no personal protective equipment rule for the gym rows. It also states no gym-specific bystander rule, so how members who are present are handled is settled in the spec.

For every delivered episode the site states that faces, plates and screens are detected and irreversibly blurred at ingest, that a reviewer confirms the result before anything ships, and that footage that cannot be de-identified is discarded. The anonymization record ships with the data, an undocumented bystander is a stated reject criterion, and every episode links to a signed contributor release. Mirror reflections and posted signage are not listed as blur categories, so this page does not claim they are blurred. If they matter, raise them in the spec. This is not legal advice, and the executed agreement controls.

MCAP is an open source container file format for multimodal log data, supporting multiple channels of timestamped pre-serialized data. It is serialization-agnostic, so messages can be Protobuf, DDS (CDR), ROS, JSON and more. Its design is row-oriented and append-only, it stores schemas alongside the data, and it offers an optional index plus optional LZ4 or Zstandard chunk compression.

Reader and writer libraries exist for C++, Go, Python, Rust, Swift and TypeScript, and the mcap CLI can inspect, merge and split files. The foxglove/mcap repository is MIT-licensed; that is the MCAP project licence, not the licence of a Firsthand delivery. The MCAP hub page and the glossary entry cover the format in full.

Firsthand offers MCAP delivery, and dataset 06 is stated as shipping as MCAP. For these rows the site states hand pose, a stereo-derived depth stream with confidence maps, IMU, contact events, action segments, per-frame instance masks and one task instruction per episode elsewhere. What it does not state is which of those are channels in an MCAP file, how they are named, what encoding they use or at what rate.

No topic name, message schema or rate is stated on this page, and none should be assumed. Name the streams that matter in the skill spec and confirm them on a Spec Pilot batch. The fourth table below sets each stream beside what the site states about it.

Hand occlusion by the load is the first risk, under the visibility flag above. Weak depth on glare-heavy or reflective surfaces is the second, and the behaviour on racks of similar-looking items is Not stated. Calibration is measured at the start and end of every session under a 0.28 px RMS gate, and an episode is rejected for a sync breach beyond the ceiling for more than three consecutive frames, for the manipulated object out of frame for more than 15 percent of the episode, for an undocumented bystander or for a mismatch against the named skill spec.

A reject log ships with every batch, and rejected items are recaptured at the provider’s cost. The fifth table below lists the failure modes beside what the site states.

The October 2026 off-the-shelf catalog lists ~324,800 hours across 18 datasets, of which stereo is ~64,800 hours across 9 datasets. The site names no gym equipment or weight rack dataset among them, so this work is custom collection, not an off-the-shelf purchase. The off-the-shelf stereo and hand-tracking video can still show the format before you write a spec.

It is custom collection at scale through a network of thousands of capture providers, for a consistent, recurring data flow to labs. Where coverage is deep, the median time from signed spec to first validated batch is a median of 48 hours; where it is thin, turnaround runs three to four weeks. The site does not say which applies to gym work, so the timeline is quoted against your spec. Collections are billed per validated hour, and rejected episodes and recaptures are never billed.

Describe the steps and where each starts and ends: placing benches, racks and machines, adjusting weights and settings, returning each dumbbell, plate and bar, and tidying. Say whether an episode covers one item, one rack, one class setup or a whole session, what counts as the object and what counts as a finished step, what order means for the rack, the privacy rule for the space, and name the variation your pipeline is missing. Then name the streams you want in the file, the topic naming and message encoding your reader expects, whether calibration ships inside the file or beside it, and whether MCAP is the only delivery or sits beside RLDS, LeRobot or WebDataset.

Most programs begin with a Spec Pilot, a small first batch that proves the spec and accept criteria on real footage before you scale. The sixth table below shows what each spec element decides.
