An exercise machine handle system for providing a gripping structure that substantially surrounds a stationary or movable exercise platform. The exercise machine handle system generally includes a stationary or movable exercise platform and a perimeter handle surrounding the exercise platform. A space is formed between an outer edge of the exercise platform and an inner edge of the perimeter handle that allows a plurality of fingers of an exerciser to extend through.

An exercise machine may include a frame, a resistance mechanism supported by the frame, first and second pull cables supported by the frame and linked to the resistance mechanism, a power rack attached to the frame, first and second handles selectively attachable to the first and second pull cable, and first and second pulleys. The power rack includes upright posts configured to have barbell holders adjustably attached thereto such that the barbell holders are configured to be adjusted in various positions between highest positions and lowest positions on the upright posts. The pulleys are configured to selectively receive the pull cables to enable the pull cables to be selectively attached to a barbell to assist or hinder a user in lifting the barbell in a combined cable and free weight workout, the pull cables decoupled from the pulleys for cable workouts.

A limb exercise machine includes a first transmission unit and a second transmission unit. A left-hand control member, as well as a right-foot control member, is connected to the first transmission unit. The left-hand control member and the right-foot control member are pulled by the first transmission unit to be moved synchronously. A right-hand control member, as well as a left-foot control member, is connected to the second transmission unit. The right-hand control member and the left-foot control member are pulled by the second transmission unit to be moved synchronously.

A portable exercise device includes a pedal spaced away from and pivotably connected to a base and having a neutral position relative to a pivot axis. The pedal is configured to rotate about the pivot axis in a first direction toward the base and in a second direction, opposite the first direction, toward the base. The device also includes a resistance mechanism configured to exert a force on the pedal about the pivot axis in a direction opposite to the respective direction of rotation of the pedal. The device is movable between an open, in-use configuration, where the pedal is disposed in the neutral position to receive a foot and spaced away from the base, and a closed configuration, where the pedal is adjacent the base.

A fitness machine operable by a user. The fitness machine includes a base that extends in a length direction, a width direction, and a height direction that are perpendicular to each other. A mobile portion is configured to support the user during operation of the fitness machine. A resilient body is configured to provide a resistance against the mobile portion moving towards the base in the height direction. A frame is moveable in the length direction relative to the base to adjust the resistance provided by the resilient body. A fastener assembly moveably couples the frame to the base, where the fastener assembly is configured to expand in the width direction to prevent the frame from moving in the width direction relative to the base during operation of the fitness machine.

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a jump rope handle assembly is described. The jump rope handle assembly includes a handle having a longitudinal axis. A shaft assembly is disposed within the handle. The shaft assembly is to receive a jump rope section and is to rotate and slide within the handle. The shaft assembly includes a collet to retain the jump rope section. The jump rope handle assembly also includes a spring to compress between the shaft assembly and an interior impact surface of the handle.

A rowing machine has a base, a seat, a rotating plate, two oar components, a damping mechanism and a transmission mechanism; the base with a rack and a slope rail; the seat cushion slidably coupled to the rail; the rotating plate with a fixing rotating shaft rotatably assembled to the rack through the rotating shaft; two oar components respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft by unilateral bearings in universal joining way to unilaterally drive the rotating plate to rotate when swinging; the rotation damping mechanism is assembled to the rack; the transmission mechanism assembled between the rotating plate and the damping mechanism to drive a damping wheel of the damping mechanism when the rotating plate rotates.

A training, rehabilitation, and recovery system comprises an exercise apparatus including a user interface member coupled to a plurality of links and joints, brakes capable of resisting movement of at least a subset of the links or joints, and sensors capable of sensing movement at the joints or the user interface member. The system also includes a processor configured to receive from the sensors positional data of the links or joints over an initial movement of the apparatus by a user, from which positional coordinates of the user interface member are calculated and a reference trajectory is established. An end space is defined based on the reference trajectory. Over a subsequent movement of the apparatus by the user, the processor receives additional positional data and determines a completion of a repetition based on the positional coordinates of the subsequent movement and the defined end space.

An exercise machine monitoring and instruction system for the movement of an element of an exercise machine by an exerciser and providing automated feedback to the exerciser to help improve the exercise in real-time. The exercise machine monitoring and instruction system generally includes an exercise machine having a movable element that moves between a first position and a second position in a reciprocating manner, a sensor that detects a real-time position of the movable element, a processor in communication with the sensor to receive the real-time position data from the sensor related to a position of the movable element and a feedback device in communication with the processor that provides real-time instructions to the exerciser on how to adjust their workout to achieve a desired result.

A horse-riding training device comprises a base, a body portion for supporting a rider, the body portion being displaceably mounted on the base, a neck portion pivotally connected to the base and a resilient element which resists displacement of the body portion and the neck portion with respect to the base, which provides a realistic simulation of riding a horse.
