The present invention describes an electromechanical exercise machine that simulates the inertia and weight of a mass in Earth's gravity field and allows a user to move said simulated mass in the primary degrees of freedom of a traditional barbell free-weight system, with or without the use of various accessories.

The unit includes a single rowing and seat component connected to a simplified braking mechanism. The sliding seat is attached to a dual track frame. The rowing component includes a handle attached to a deep profile sprocket and synchronous belt attached to a flywheel. The unit folds onto itself, and telescopes together compacting and weighing approximately 27 pounds for transport in a small carry case.

An embodiment of this invention discloses a folding mechanism of a rowing machine that comprises a first frame, a second frame, a saddle member, and a control member. A front of the second frame includes a guiding portion that comprises an operation cut and a storage cut. The saddle member fixes with a rear end of the first fame and straddles on the rear end of the first frame. The saddle member includes a slot, and the first frame pivotally connects with the second frame via a pivot of the saddle member. The control member is arranged below the first frame and includes a bar at its rear end. The rowing machine can be folded for storage or spread for operation by switching the bar into the storage cut or operation cut.

The present invention is a horizontal rowing machine having a frame with a removable seat, adjustably mounted on the frame and an adjustable chest pad. The present invention has angled foot plates. The foot plates enable the user to use the machine in various positions. The present invention has two fixed multi-grip handles with 8 fixed hand positions and 6 positions on which to attach swivel handles. The swivel handles allow for a more natural and free form rowing movement. Maximal adjustability of all aspects of the machine allow for a more optimal and beneficial training exercise for any user, regardless of body size. The user can lift a desired weight by pulling the handles.

Lever-type rowing machine, whose main rigging dimensions meet the corresponding parameters of sweep rowing or sculling boat is mounted to the base frame by using front and rear elastic suspension so that the simulator makes it possible to rotate (tilt) about its transverse and longitudinal axes and move vertically, thus making it possible to simulate the boat swings on the transverse and longitudinal axes and movement in the vertical direction. In addition, the simulator has passive and active stabilization systems, enabling the athlete to maintain a balance, and stiffness of its front and rear suspension and stabilizer system can be adjusted depending on the weight and balancing ability of user. There is also a possibility to constraint the suspension thus ensuring full stability of the simulator and exercise regime, corresponding to the exercising on common rowing machines.

The unit includes a single rowing and seat component connected to a simplified braking mechanism. The sliding seat is attached to a dual track frame. The rowing component includes a handle attached to a deep profile sprocket and synchronous belt attached to a flywheel. The unit folds onto itself, and telescopes together compacting and weighing approximately 27 pounds for transport in a small carry case.

A row bar pivot assembly includes a mounting plate for fixedly attaching to a side wall of a swim spa or the like and a row bar pivot assembly detachably connected to the mounting plate. The row bar pivot assembly allows a row bar to be removably mounted to the side wall of the spa, swim spa, the hot tub, or the pool. Further, a rowing exercise system includes a swim spa or the like, and a pair of row bar mounting assemblies, one for each of opposing side wall areas of the swim spa. Each of the row bar mounting assemblies includes a mounting plate for fixedly attaching to the side wall area of the swim spa, a row bar pivot assembly detachably connected to the mounting plate, and a row bar attached to the row bar pivot assembly. The row bar pivot assemblies removably mount the row bars to the side wall areas of the swim spa.
