The exercise assembly for squats includes a support frame, a foot plate, a seat member, a wall frame, an upright beam, and a trolley member. The support frame includes a base member, a base post, and a support arm. The seat member is placed relative to the support frame by the foot plate. The seat member is adjustable. The wall frame includes curved knee frame, a knee wall, and a horizontal support beam. The upright beam extends upward from the base member at an angle toward the seat member. The support arm connects the base member, the horizontal support beam, and the upright beam at an angle to allow performance of a squat in a proper and safe posture throughout the complete squatting movement. The trolley member slides along the upright beam so that the complete squatting movement tracks along the angle of the upright beam.

An exercise device includes an elongate platform and a pair of foot support members slidably mounted on the elongate platform. A mount permits reciprocating movement of the elongate platform and a guide member retains a body support member vertically above the elongate platform. The guide member guides the body support member for movement as an exerciser slides in opposite directions along a longitudinal dimension of the elongate platform.

A pilates exercise system includes a pair of forward vertical members and a pair of rear vertical members extending upward from a base; a frame positioned at a top of the vertical members, the frame having one or more poles pivotally engaged with one or more framing members; the one or more poles to pivot from a horizontal to a vertical position; a platform assembly slindingly housed within the base, the platform assembly is to slide on a first track and a second track, the platform assembly, having a lower section to engage with the first track and the second track; a middle section slidingly engaged with the lower section; and an upper section pivotally attached to the middle section; and attachment elements secured to the vertical members and to provide locations for attachment of exercise equipment.

A reversible resistance exercise machine for reversing the direction of applied resistance against a movable platform of an exercising machine. The exercise machine has a frame, a carriage movably positioned upon the frame, and a plurality of biasing members. A plurality of first tension connectors are accessible near the first end of the carriage and are adapted for removably attaching selected biasing members near the first end of the carriage to resist motion of the carriage in the first direction. A plurality of second tension connectors are accessible near the second end of the carriage and are adapted for removably attaching selected biasing members near the second end of the carriage to resist motion of the carriage in the second direction. A user selectable amount of force may be applied to the carriage to resist movement in either of the first direction and the second direction.

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.

A multifunctional exercise device is described. The multifunctional exercise device has multiple configurations where the user can perform different exercises by simply adjusting the angle of the bench to utilize both the user's bodyweight and gravity as the resistance.

An exercise device system comprising a tower; a support structure inclinable at different angles relative to the tower; a movable user support platform movably associated with the support structure for movement relative to the support structure; a pulley system associated with the movable user support platform; a cable extending through the pulley system and including opposite ends; exercise device handles coupled to the opposite ends of the cable, whereby movement of the handles causes movement of the movable user support platform relative to the support structure.

An exercise apparatus with oscillating tilt system includes a main frame for supporting all the components of the apparatus, a tiltable upstanding support is tilted oscillating, a mechanism which enabling a user of the apparatus to move hands and feet up and down harmoniously, and another mechanism to change an orientation of the user in relation to the vertical line oscillating during the exercise, and consequently changing the direction of the forces affecting different muscles of the user of the apparatus.

An eccentric weightlifting machine that includes a first pole connected to a first weight and to a device acted on by a user, a second pole connected to a second weight and to a motor, wherein the motor lifts the second pole in response to movement of the first pole by the user, and a latch configured to latch the first pole to the second pole during an eccentric exercise portion of a weightlift.

Handles for use in exercise apparatus and in lifting apparatus are provided. The handles have an elongated handle body with a top head, a bottom head, and a central bore extending along a longitudinal axis. A top pulley is coupled to the top head and is rotatable around a top axis that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A bottom pulley is coupled to the bottom head and is rotatable around a bottom axis that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. At least one secondary pulley is associated with at least one of the top pulley and the bottom pulley. A cord is disposed on a circumferential surface of the top pulley, the cord passing through the central bore and being disposed on a circumferential surface of the bottom pulley, so that when the handle body is moved, the top and bottom pulleys rotate to allow the cord to travel smoothly through the central bore.
