A connecting assembly designed for use with an exercise device is herein disclosed. The connecting assembly includes a ball joint linkage, a ball, and a ball joint arm. The ball joint linkage is designed to couple to a base. The ball is pivotally mounted in the ball joint linkage, with the ball joint arm extending from the ball and being designed to couple to various types of exercise equipment. The ball permits three degrees of rotational freedom movement of the ball joint arm relative to the ball joint linkage, offering a plethora of diverse exercises while increasing safety of the exercise activity.

A physical training system includes a belt having a belt attachment member and a first band attachment loop for an elastomeric belt. The belt attachment member is moveably positioned on the belt and at least partially encircles the belt. The belt attachment member comprises a first portion and a second portion, the first portion extending completely across a width of the belt on the outer side of the belt, and the second portion extending at least partially across the width of the belt on the inner side of the belt. The first band attachment loop is moveably connected to the belt attachment member. The elastomeric band extends through the first band attachment loop. A foot coupling includes at least one flexible strap and a second band attachment loop. The elastomeric band extends between the foot coupling and the belt attachment member.

A controllable tension force is provided on a first cable. The first cable has a terminal end wherein the terminal end is adapted to attach to an accessory. The first cable is coupled to a motor. The first cable and motor are part of a resistance unit. The resistance unit is coupled to a user support unit having a sliding seat.

A treadmill includes a frame, an exercise deck attached to the frame, and a first handle movably attached to the frame. The first handle has a first orientation where the first handle is positioned within a region above the exercise deck and stabilized to support a user's weight during a body weight exercise, and a second orientation where the first handle is positioned away from the region above the exercise deck.

Sensor data is collected from a sensor monitoring a tension generating device of an exercise machine. The sensor data is analyzed to determine whether the sensor data is within a specification. In the event the sensor data is not within the specification, an error stop mode is entered for the tension generating device.

A multi-gym apparatus comprises a frame, the frame having an upright structure and a bar assembly mounted movably on the upright structure between selected positions on the upright members. The bar assembly includes an elongate bar and a bracket attached to the elongate bar, the bracket being shaped and dimensioned to abut against at least one side of the upright structure. The bracket receives a locking means which is movable between a first position in which the locking means is engaged with upright structure thereby locking the bar in a selected position relative to the upright structure and a second position in which the locking means is clear of the upright structure thereby providing for movement of the bar relative to the upright structure. The elongate bar includes two outer bar members, one to each side of the bracket extending at an angle that projects forward of the bracket and upright structure.

An exercise device comprising a metallic box, two motors mounted at left and right sides of the box, a mirror touch screen, a camera, a loudspeaker, two motors mounted at the left and right bottom of the box, movable arms at slide tracks at both sides, a voltage transformer for the mirror touch screen, and four drive boards for four motors. All these four motors connect with gear reducers. Four carriages ride on both sides of slide tracks. The upper left and right two carriages provide support for upper limbs exercise. The lower left and right two carriages provide support for lower limbs exercise.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an adjustable-incline climbing wall. The climbing wall includes one or more climbing panels supported by a frame and a system for adjusting the incline of the frame to provide a climbing wall of a desired incline. The incline of the climbing wall may be adjusted by activating an actuator, which extends the frame a distance from a support wall, tilting the climbing wall to a desired incline. Further, by providing a plurality of attachment points between the actuator and the frame (and/or between the actuator and a support), the adjustable-incline climbing wall may be provided with a wider range of incline angles, as well as increased control over those angles.

Exerciser (3) for hanging that can be positioned around a door (16), usable by tall and short persons, having an adjustable bar for hanging (1) which can be easily removed to free the passage through the door. It is meant either for hanging exercises, than for vertebral column stretching. It comprises a bar for hanging (1) supported by two uprights (2,2′) resting on the floor (8) and fixed to a wall (14) with spacers (12). The existence of said two uprights (2,2′) permits: 1) to place the bar (1) also above a door lintel (6), for tall users 2) to removably place the bar (1) internally to the door (16) passage, for short users, thanks to rotating adjusting junctions (18,18′). Therefore this structure does not prevent the use of a door, and permits the user to make brief exercises at any time he passes through the door.

An apparatus for exercising the muscles. The apparatus includes an exercising device having a power arm or lever, which can be equipped with actuating elements at a first end of the power arm or lever. A second end of the power arm or lever is arranged on a retaining element in a way pivotable about a pivot axis at a first articulated joint. A compression-spring element can be articulated, by way of a first end of the compression-spring element at a first point of articulation on the power arm and articulated, by way of a second end of the compression-spring element at a second point of articulation on the retaining element. A cable-pull arrangement has a cable and is fixed in a releasable manner in a spatial relationship to the exercising device, independently of the exercising device, by means of a first fixing device and is able to be combined with the power arm of the exercising device by means of a second fixing device, so that the cable-pull arrangement is connectible to the exercising device in order for training to take place.
