An exercise apparatus including a vertical support, an arm assembly having first and second arms for engaging the outside of the legs of a human and a coupling assembly for securing the arm assembly to the vertical support. The coupling assembly can include a slide assembly for permitting the arm assembly to move vertically on the support element between an upper position and a lower position as the human moves downwardly relative to the vertical support and a pivot assembly for permitting the first and second arms to move between a contracted position and an extended position as the legs are pivoted away from each other. The first and second arms can be urged towards the contracted position. Methods for operating the exercise apparatus are provided.

A lever arm and method of use are disclosed herein. An example lever arm includes a translatable positioning assembly having a handle assembly having a trigger lock, the handle assembly being configured to engage with a frame member of a rack in such a way that the handle assembly can be selectively positioned along the frame member. The trigger lock is configured to engage with one of a first plurality of apertures of the frame member when a desired position for the translatable positioning assembly is selected. An armature that is pivotably coupled to the handle assembly in such a way that the armature can pivot in a first plane. The armature is configured to pivot in a second plane. The lever arm includes a first guide that is rotatably coupled to an end of the armature to allow the first guide to swivel.

The present disclosure provides an exercise apparatus designed to allow a user to perform a gluteal bridge, typically with resistance, to improve the strength of the user's posterior hip and gluteal muscles. The exercise apparatus is configurable for use in different environmentsin a gym, fitness center or training facility, a spa or studio, or a home gym. The exercise apparatus includes a frame assembly, a bench assembly, and a resistance assembly. The bench assembly is pivotally connected to the frame assembly to provide an elevated pivot point about which the bench assembly pivots when the user performs the gluteal bridge movement. The resistance assembly is operably connected to the bench assembly and provides a resistance force that the user overcomes in order to pivotally move the bench through the gluteal bridge movement. The resistance assembly can include a cable, pulley and weight stack, or an elastically deformable band.

A modular and configurable muscular physical rehabilitation and training system that is a total body fitness system designed to promote strengthening and creation of muscle mass using free weights. Free weights simulate real-life situations and promote whole body stabilization. Free weights allow more variations in the range of motion than using modern machines. The system allows the flexible and configurable use of muscle contractile activities utilizing free weights and proper techniques. This is done in a space-saving, compact, safe, configurable, and practical configuration that can be used with a plurality of participants supported by a single trainer/therapist.
