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 exercise bike includes a frame, a rotor assembly and a drive assembly mounted on the frame, where the drive assembly is configured to drive rotation of the rotor assembly, and a cover configured to at least partially cover the rotor assembly. The components of the drive assembly and the rotor assembly include structures that improve the performance of the exercise bike, including but not limited to a strong and rigid construction and improvements in belt tracking, user feel, effort consistency, synchronization, and rotor performance.

In various embodiments, provided herein are systems, methods, processes, and devices for providing locomotive rehabilitation to a subject via one or more gait motions that substantially accurately mimic motions performed in healthy, natural gait cycles. The system may mimic natural gait motions via footplates and handles, and one or more linkage systems. In particular embodiments, the system may further include a motor unit and/or clutch for providing controlled forces assisting or resisting motions of a linkage system. Further, the system may include a tower for operating in a standing or seated position. In at least one embodiment, the system includes a body weight support system that provides offloading forces to a subject.

An exercise machine creates a simulated continuous resisted climbing motion. The machine includes a floor- or ground-contacting base frame and two or more substantially vertically oriented uprights, wherein at least one upright is rigidly connected to the base frame. The machine further includes two handles and two foot pedals, each handle and each foot pedal being movably engaged with an upright for linear reciprocating motion along the upright. The handles and foot pedals are interconnected so that they move concurrently. An adjustable resistance mechanism may be operatively connected to the interconnection of the handles and foot pedals to provide adjustable resistance for the simulated continuous climbing motion.

Described herein is a swivel mount for rotatably coupling a display to the frame of an exercise machine. The swivel mount includes a rigid arm fixed to one of the display or the terminal end of a frame member, the arm terminating with a ball at its free end. A socket is defined at the other one of the display or frame member which rotatably received the ball. A rotational resistance mechanism is operatively associated with the socket to selectively engage the ball and resist the rotation of the swivel mount. In some embodiments, the arm of the swivel mount may rotate in a conical range of motion for repositioning the display in relation to the frame while the display remains in a fixed position relative to the arm.

An exercise machine creates a simulated continuous resisted climbing motion. The machine includes a floor- or ground-contacting base frame and two or more substantially vertically oriented uprights, wherein at least one upright is rigidly connected to the base frame. The machine further includes two handles and two foot pedals, each handle and each foot pedal being movably engaged with an upright for linear reciprocating motion along the upright. The handles and foot pedals are interconnected so that they move concurrently. An adjustable resistance mechanism may be operatively connected to the interconnection of the handles and foot pedals to provide adjustable resistance for the simulated continuous climbing motion.

An exercise machine may be adjustable to vary a characteristic of the exercise provided by the machine, for example by changing the reciprocation path of movable components of the machine. In some examples, adjustment to an incline of the path of a reciprocating linkage may be achieved, for example by a lift assembly, the components of which may be arranged in a manner that provides a relatively compact form factor. In general, a more compact design may be achieved through the examples of the present disclosure, for example by co-axially locating a rotatable resistance element on the driven/input shaft.

An exercise apparatus having multiple exercise modes of operation may include a frame supporting generally vertically oriented reciprocating members spaced apart and in substantial parallel relationship to one another. Reciprocating leg members may include foot supports secured at the lower distal ends thereof. Reciprocating arm members may include hand grips coupled proximate the upper distal ends of the arm members. The arm members and leg members may be operably coupled in multiple configurations for a user to perform various climbing exercise movements.

An elliptical trainer with incline adjustment mechanism includes a frame, a link assembly, a pedal assembly and an adjustment mechanism. The frame has a base member and a supporting member. The supporting member defines an inner space. The link assembly has two swinging arms. The pedal unit has two pedal arms. The adjusting mechanism has a shaft, a sleeve member, two coupling members, and two links corresponding to the coupling members. When the sleeve member moves along the shaft, the coupling members and the links are driven by the sleeve member, such that the pedal arms are driven to move relative to the base member. The shaft is disposed in the inner space, preventing the shaft from protruding outward. The coupling members are pivotally connected to the supporting member to evenly distribute the weight of the coupling members and the links.
