The present invention relates to the field of fitness training devices and exercise machines. More specifically, a substantially horizontal exercise machine comprising an exercise platform slidable along one or more rails aligned with the longitudinal axis of the machine structure, the slidable platform spring-biased towards one end of the machine, is tiltable to allow for one end of the machine to be raised or lowered relative to the opposed end of the machine.

An adjustable rehabilitation and exercise device, including a first rotary member rotatably mountable about a first hub and having a plurality of spaced apart and elongated first mount supports defined thereon; a first mount adjustably positioned on one of the first mount supports; a first patient engagement member attached to the first mount, a second rotary member rotatably mountable about a second hub the opposite the first rotary member, the second rotary member having a plurality of spaced apart and elongated second mount supports defined thereon; a second mount adjustably positioned on one of the second mount supports; and a second patient engagement member attached to the second mount. The first and second mounts are adjustably positionable on the first and second rotary members to enable adjustable positioning of the first and second patient engagement members radially relative to the first and second hubs of the rotary members and angularly relative to one another.

An exercise machine handle indicia system for facilitating efficient and proper exercise movements by an exerciser. The exercise machine handle indicia system generally includes a frame, a carriage movably positioned upon the frame, a bias member connected between the carriage and the frame that applies a bias force upon the carriage, and a first handle and a second handle connected to the frame near the first end of the frame. The first handle includes a first indicia to indicate where to position a first hand of an exerciser to perform a first exercise and the second handle includes a first indicia to indicate where to position a second hand of the exerciser to perform the first exercise. During the performance of an exercise, the exerciser is instructed by a human instructor or an electronic device which indicia on the handles to position their hands or other body parts.

An exercise machine resistance adjustment system for providing an exerciser the ability to immediately adjust the resistance force by changing their body position on the movable carriage or end platforms. The exercise machine resistance adjustment system generally includes a frame, a carriage movably positioned on the frame, a spring connected to the carriage to apply a biasing force to the carriage, one or more left projections within the carriage adapted for a left hand of an exerciser to grasp, and one or more right projections within the carriage adapted for a right hand of an exerciser to grasp. The exerciser is able to efficiently adjust the amount of resistance force applied to the carriage by repositioning their hands (or feet) from a first set of projections at a first distance to a second set of projections at a second distance from the first end of the exercise machine.

An exercise system comprising: an exercise cycle comprising a crank, wherein the crank is configured to be rotated by a user; and a sensing unit coupled to the exercise cycle, wherein the sensing unit is configured to sense information related to at least one crank measurement and to transmit the information related to the at least one crank measurement to a remote device via wireless communication. In some embodiments, the remote device is a mobile device. In some embodiments, the at least one crank measurement comprises a rotational speed of the crank or a force applied to the crank. The remote device can display information related to use of the exercise cycle based on the information received from the exercise cycle.

An adjustable rehabilitation and exercise device, including a rotary member rotatably mounted on a hub; a mount having a ring located adjacent to the rotary member with a lock selectively engageable with the rotary member to lock the ring at an angular position relative to the rotary member, and an arm connected to the ring and extending radially relative to the rotary member and having a movable carriage associated therewith to move radially relative to the rotary member and lockable to position the carriage at a radial position relative to the rotary member; and a patient engagement member connected to the mount and movable with the carriage.

An adjustable rehabilitation and exercise device, including a rotary member rotatable on a hub and having a plurality of elongated and spaced apart elongated mount receivers defined thereon; a mount selectively and movably positionable on a selected one of the mount receivers of the rotary member to select an angular location of the mount, the mount including a sliding member movably positionable along the selected mount receiver to a selected radial location along the selected mount receiver to select a radial location of the mount relative to the hub; and a patient engagement member connectable to the mount and movable with the mount.

An adjustable rehabilitation and exercise device, including a rotary member having a plurality of elongated and spaced apart elongated open-ended slots defined thereon; a mount selectively and movably positionable on a selected one of the slots of the rotary member to select an angular location of the mount. The mount includes a sliding member movably positionable along the selected slot to a selected radial location along the selected slot to select a radial location of the mount relative to the hub of the rotary member. The mount has a slide member configured to slidingly engage the slot and a movable plunger located on the slide member, wherein the plunger is movable to engage the slot so as to lock the position of the mount along the slot; and a patient engagement member connectable to the mount and movable with the mount.

An adjustable rehabilitation and exercise device, including a rotary member rotatable about a hub and having an elongated slot defined thereon extending radially relative to the hub, the slot including a plurality of spaced apart and opposed fingers along the length of the slots, with a plurality of gaps defined between the fingers of each side of the slot; and a mount selectively and movably positionable on a selected location on the slot of the rotary member to select an angular location of the mount. The mount includes a sliding member movably positionable along the slot to a selected radial location along the selected slot to select a radial location of the mount relative to the hub of the rotary member. The sliding member is configured to slidingly engage the slot, the slide member having at least one spring loaded lock configured to engage one of the gaps to lock the position of the sliding member, and a key operable by a user to disengage the lock from the gap to enable the sliding member to be moved to another location along the slot. A patient engagement member is connectable to the mount and movable with the mount.

An apparatus for converting a cycle-type exercise machine into another type of exercise machine includes a stationary frame structure that attaches to a frame of the cycle-type exercise machine, a pair of swing arms pivotally coupled with the stationary frame structure, and a pair of coupler bars pivotally coupled with the pair of swing arms on one end and rotationally attached to a crank bar of the cycle-type exercise machine on an opposite end.
