Embodiments disclosed herein relate to an exercise system having a pair of stationary support members, each having a lower portion and an upper portion, the upper portion being at an acute angle relative to the lower portion. The system also has a pair of rotatable support members configured to rotate between a first position wherein the first rotatable support member is generally adjacent to the upper portion of the stationary support members and a second position wherein the first rotatable support member is generally adjacent to the lower portion of the stationary support members. The system has a first and a second carriage member translatable along at least a portion of the rotatable support members and a barbell coupled with the first and second carriage members.

A permanently affixed and travelling selector pin, car and weight plate selection mechanism for use with physical fitness equipment is disclosed including a segmented track and/or cut out cavern within the plate body for the car to travel within in either vertically or horizontally in order to select a different weight plate or cumulatively, more or less weight for an exercise. The selector pin and car mechanism features a selector pin which is not removable from the car and is inserted through the car which is contained by the track and or plate body shape and into a throughbore in the weight plate in order to engage with the selector stem.

A moveable rack mount apparatus for use with an exercise rack constructed of at least one rack tube configured with at least one rack hole, comprising: a tube passage sized and shaped for slidable passage therethrough of the rack tube; a reversible locking mechanism configured to engage the at least one rack hole of the rack tube when the rack tube is in the tube passage; at least one attachment hole for securing at least one of a plurality of interchangeable exercise-related attachments to the moveable rack mount apparatus.

A self-spotting exercise apparatus is formed to include a pair of weight-bearing arms that are attached to a back frame assembly of the apparatus by a pair of double-hinge components. The double-hinge configuration provides a full range of motion for the weight-bearing arms with respect to the “fixed” apparatus itself. The opposing end terminations of the weight-bearing arms are configured to support weight plates (which may be changed out, as desired), with the weight-bearing arms also including a pair of handgrips for the user to hold as he/she moves the weight-bearing arms during an exercise routine. Self-spotting is provided by the use of a foot-activated motion bar, which is attached to a pair of vertical support posts that hold the distal ends of the extended arms when not in use.

Apparatus for bi-directional ankle exercise movements has a main frame with a seat and upwardly extending columns at either side to support a “U” shaped sub-frame, mounted so that it pivots about a horizontal axis passing very nearly through the ankles of a seated user and interconnecting linkages simultaneously enforcing ankle inversion, with plantarflexion and then ankle aversion, with dorsiflexion, about perpendicularly intersecting axes, while resisting such movements, so as to provide bidirectional ankle exercises according to a progressive resistance program, thus strengthening the ankle muscle groups for enhanced balance and dynamic stability.

A User Lift Exercise Apparatus is provided which has a base frame member with a seat support member coupled thereon which moves in the upward and downward directions. The apparatus also has a user engagement member which pivotally mounts to the front of the base frame member. The back portion of the user engagement member is coupled to the seat support member. The user engages the front portion of the user engagement member with their thighs and pivots this front portion in the downward direction, which produces upward movement in the back portion and thus in the seat support member. The opposite movement is also true. This allows the user to perform exercise routines on the lower body muscles areas while in a relatively seated position. Handle members may also be part of the apparatus.

An exercise apparatus including a base, a support extending from the base, a lever, at least one seat arm and a seat is disclosed. The lever, which is pivotally connected to the support about a first horizontal pivot axis, has first and second portions extending on, respectively, first and second sides of the first horizontal pivot axis. The at least one seat arm upper portion and lower portions connected to, respectively, the first portion and the seat. The seat is pivotally connected to the first portion about a second horizontal pivot axis, which is parallel to the first horizontal pivot axis, via the at least one seat arm. The lever selectively pivots about the first horizontal pivot axis between first and second positions, the seat being higher in the first position than in the second position, and the lever being biased toward the first position.

Workout equipment includes a frame and a movable arm pivotally connected to the frame, the movable arm having a first end and a second end. A movable load unit is supported by the movable arm and a load transferer is configured to move the load unit along the movable arm. The movable arm includes a first guide and a second guide, the load unit is supported by the first and second guides and the load transferer includes a locking device for locking the load unit on the first and second guides. The load transferer includes a threaded rod having a first end and a second end, the threaded rod being parallel to the first and second guides. The load unit has a threaded aperture through which the threaded rod projects and the load unit includes weight plates connected together, each weight plate having a hole creating the aperture.

An exercise apparatus for attachment to an exercise rack including an arm, including: at least one mounting prong connected to the arm; and, a stand including a pivot point, wherein the pivot point defines a pivot axis substantially transverse to a longitudinal axis of the arm, and wherein the stand is configured in a first, vertical configuration when the apparatus is at rest and a second, largely horizontal configuration when the apparatus is in motion, and wherein the stand is rotatable with respect to the arm about the pivot axis to transition the stand from the first configuration to the second configuration.

A back exercise equipment includes a support frame seated on the bottom surface, a body frame connected to the support frame to form a support structure, a rotating part rotatably mounted to the body frame, a grip part connected to one end of the rotating part and providing a space for the user to grip, a lifting part that is connected to the other end of the rotating part, moves up and down being interlocked with the rotation of the rotating unit and provides a space in which a plate is mounted, and a seating part connected to the support frame and disposed in front of the body frame to provide a space in which the user can sit.
