A portable parallel walking bar assembly is provided which is intended for use in a variety of settings due to the uniquely designed ability to rapidly assemble, disassemble, transport and store the apparatus when not in use. This particular design is made of five lightweight individual parts which may be assembled to form a stable support structure. Two of the segments are each of the parallel bars which in this design are collapsible in length and allow for variation in length. The bars extend to a length of 8.5 feet and collapse to a length of only 4 feet. The remaining three parts of the system are the support stanchions which the horizontal bars attach to for stabilization and their useful intended height of 24 to 40 inches. Each support stanchion consists of a flat cross-member, with beveled edge, which spans the width of the assembled system and provides the base of support. On both ends of each cross-member, a vertical support extends up and is adjustable in height. The vertical supports each connect to the horizontal rails in such a way that the assembled system is stable and secure for rehabilitation purposes, specifically for persons with physical disability to apply force through the rails to support their body weight as needed while walking.

A portable, foldable barre exercise device providing balance support for a user during exercise may include a pair of legs and a pair of support arms. Each support arm may be pivotally attached to a corresponding leg and may be adapted to be extended upward with the device in an open state. A horizontal exercise bar may be arranged between upper ends of the support arms. The device may further include a pair of weight stacks of removable dumbbells, each attached to a corresponding support arm, and one or more quick release straps for facilitating folding of the device into a closed state for stowage and for strapping the support arms and legs together. The device is lightweight yet structurally configured so as to support a user's entire weight thereon.

A stair and slide assembly includes a stair portion including a plurality of stairs, a slide portion including a slide with an entrance and an exit, and an assist bar positioned proximate the exit of the slide to assist a user with pivoting from the exit of the slide to the stair portion. The slide has a first portion extending substantially linearly from the entrance of the slide at an angle and a second portion extending from the first portion to the exit of the slide. The second portion transitions the slide from the angle of the first portion to substantially horizontal. The exit of the slide is configured to be positioned at a target height above a ground surface. The target height is between about 18 inches and about 30 inches.

The present invention provides methods and systems for determining the play value of a playground, the challenge level of a playground, or both. In some embodiments, the methods and systems may propose modifications to a playground that would result in an effective and efficient increase in the play value of the playground, a desired increase or decrease in the challenge level of the playground, or both. Further, in some embodiments, the methods and systems may be configured to provide comparisons of various playgrounds in order to determine which playgrounds are of greatest play value. In some embodiments, the methods and systems may be incorporated into software that is configured for the design of playgrounds.

Exemplary embodiments of a workout station and methods of using the workout station are provided.

A rooftop mount device for connecting to a roof of a portable gym and for attaching exercise equipment is described. The portable gym is a portable container, such as a shipping container, having a top surface, or roof, to which the rooftop mount is attachable. The rooftop mount device includes connection members. The rooftop mount can also include one or more horizontal stabilization members and equipment attachment elements. The connection members are attached to a roof of the container. Exercise equipment is attached to the parts of the rooftop mount device. The rooftop mount provides proper height and stability for the bars, racks, stands, cages, rigs and riggings, and other exercise equipment that are attached to the container's roof so that the equipment does not move during use by an exerciser. Systems and kits are also described, which include a rooftop mount device, various exercise equipment, and a portable container.

Training apparatus 1 includes exercise equipment 3, 4 mounted to a side surface 8a or a roof 19 of a land vehicle or for mounting to a surface such as a wall of a building or ship. The exercise equipment includes a support structure which is attached to the surface 8a or roof 19. In some embodiments the support structure is manoeuvrable by pivoting with respect to the surface or roof, whilst remaining attached thereto, between a stowed condition and an exercising condition.
