An indoor, stationary, bicycle training device that provides advantages over conventional designs of exercise bicycles is provided. The stationary bicycle may include a tilting/pivoting mechanism to orient the indoor bicycle to simulate descending or climbing. The indoor bicycle may include flexible and resilient frame elements to support the indoor training device to move side-to-side under some riding situations thereby simulating the side-to-side swaying motion of an outdoor bicycle under the same riding situations. The indoor bicycle may include several combinations of frame adjustments to provide configurable dimensions of the indoor bicycle to adjust the frame to properly fit the rider, which may be adjusted based on corresponding dimensions of a user's outdoor bicycle. Still other aspects of the stationary bicycle device may aid in creating an “outdoor” feeling while using the device.

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.

An eddy current type resistance device comprising: a ring-shaped flywheel; a shaft center, the shaft center has an axial blind hole, the shaft center has a radial blind hole, the radial blind hole is connected to the axial blind hole; a positioning frame, connected to the shaft center inside the ring-shaped flywheel; multiple magnetic field generating components, evenly arranged on the positioning frame, and make the signal wires of the magnetic field generating components pass through the radial blind hole and the axial blind hole the outer end of the shaft center; and a side cover, connecting to the other side of the ring-shaped flywheel, and is connected to the shaft center by a bearing. Thereby having the effect of simplifying the type and process of the side cover.

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.

An exercise machine, such as indoor cycle, including a multi-function wheel brake actuator. A braking force is induced on a wheel, such as through eddy currents or frictionally, by finely or coarsely adjusting the brake actuator. The brake actuator may thus include a knob whereby a user may finely adjust the braking force on the wheel and a lever to actuate interval settings whereby the brake actuator provides set positions of braking resistance. The exercise machine may further include a pop-pin assembly with an over-center cam mechanism to clamp members together. The pop-pin assembly also includes a fine adjustment to adjust the clamping force. So, for example, the seat stem may be clamped to the seat tube, or the handlebar stem clamped to the head tube, with a lever actuating the over center mechanism.

A fitness machine with continuously variable magnetic-controlled damping force and combined with a manual emergency brake includes a fitness bike, a console, a magnetically controlled damping device and a resistance and brake control device. The fitness bike generates and supplies power to the console, magnetically controlled damping device and resistance and brake control device by a rotating flywheel. The magnetically controlled damping device produces continuously variable electromagnetic damping force to the flywheel. The resistance and brake control device allows a user to operate in two different modes of the continuously variable electrically controlled brake and manual emergency brake, and the function of the continuously variable electrically controlled brake may control the flywheel to produce continuously variable electromagnetic damping, so as to achieve the results of generating and supplying the required electric power, providing the continuously variable controlled damping force of the fitness bike, and combining a gradual-change brake and a multifunctional brake.

A stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device includes a stator holder, an axle, a circuit board, at least one magnetism detection element, a rotary knob, and at least one magnet. When the rotary knob is operated to rotate, a distance between a magnet and the magnetism detection element is changed so as to vary a magnetic force detected by the magnetism detection element to thereby change a magnitude of an induced voltage or generate a rotation turn signal. Based on the induced voltage or the rotation turn signal, a signal processing device identifies a resisting force level and calculates data of one of a resisting force magnitude and wattage that the resistance device applies to the stationary exercise equipment.

An exercise storage system includes a storage compartment including at least one storage element. Exercise equipment is stored on the storage elements. A door is connected to the storage compartment with a hinge such that the viewing angle of the door is adjustable. A display on the door includes a backlit display and a mirrored display. A user may select exercise equipment from the storage compartment and perform an exercise activity while viewing the display.

An exercise machine may include a reciprocating linkage that supports one or more pedals configured to move in a closed loop (e.g., elliptical) path as a user exercises with the machine. The exercise machine may be adjustable to vary a characteristic of the exercise provided by the machine, for example by changing an incline of a rail supporting the reciprocating linkage, and thus an angle of the closed loop path. The exercise machine may vary the incline with a lift mechanism operatively associated with the front upright frame of the machine, which may also support a resistance assembly, all in a compact form factor that may be more aesthetically pleasing and practical for relatively smaller exercise spaces.
