An exercise apparatus includes an elongated support element extending between first and second ends. The support element has a mounting member located at each of the first and second ends to engage with a door or wall surface and mount the support element thereto. A resistance-generating assembly includes a stationary member attached to the support element. A displaceable member is mountable to the support element and displaceable therealong relative to the stationary member. A resilient member is removably mountable between the stationary and displaceable members. The resilient member generates resistance upon being elastically deformed by displacement of the displaceable member relative to the stationary member. A pulley is mounted to the displaceable member and displaceable therewith, and another pulley is mounted to the support element. A hand-operable cable engages the pulleys to effect displacement of the displaceable member relative to the stationary member. A method is also disclosed.

A tension trainer system and method of using the system. The tension trainer system may include a resistance strap having a first portion and a second portion; an anchor attachment point disposed between the first portion and the second portion of the resistance strap; grip attachment points, wherein a first one of the grip attachment points may be disposed at an end of the first portion of the resistance strap opposite that of the anchor attachment point and a second one of the grip attachment points may be disposed at an end of the second portion of the resistance strap opposite that of the anchor attachment point; and one or more tension measurement devices may be integrated with the resistance strap.

An exercise device that simultaneously incorporates both balance and resistance training comprises a base including a rear and a front portion; a balancer disposed in the base proximal to the front portion of the base and configured to both support a user thereon and move with weight shifting by the user thereon; one or more lines retractably disposed in the front portion of the base; a resistance mechanism disposed in the base and operably associated with the one or more lines, wherein both balance and resistance training are provided by the balancer and the resistance mechanism when a user attempts to balance the user's weight on the balancer while pulling on the one or more lines.

An exercise storage system includes a storage compartment including at least one storage element. Exercise equipment is stored on the storage elements. A door is connected to the storage compartment with a hinge such that the viewing angle of the door is adjustable. A display on the door includes a backlit display and a mirrored display. A user may select exercise equipment from the storage compartment and perform an exercise activity while viewing the display.

A modular exercise system includes a first strap that has a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side. The first strap is extendable around a door. A coupler is attached to the first end and receiving the second end to form a closed loop. A demarcation line is defined on the first strap to partition the first strap into a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes the first end and the second portion includes the second end. A second strap is attached to the first portion at a first attachment point and is attached to the second portion at a second attachment point. The second strap is configured to be positioned over an upper edge of a door. The exercising system is configured to engage a resistance band to releasably secure the resistance band to the door.

A flying disc training device incorporates a training disc for being gripped by a user, and having a centerpoint, top and bottom sides and an annular rim. A swivel strap includes first and second ends pivotably attached at the centerpoint of the disc on respective top and bottom sides. The swivel strap forms an intermediate loop which extends beyond the annular rim of the disc, such that the swivel strap is capable of freely pivoting relative to the disc. An elastic resistance band is attached to the swivel strap and has a free end adapted for being secured to a fixed structure.

Methods and systems are presented in which one or more heavy-duty straps are positioned in contact with a top and bottom of said door and engaged with a heavy mechanism exerting a static tension greater than 10 newtons. A user can exercise using removable extenders attached to any of several loops at various vertical positions, creating enormous leverage along the strap(s). Notwithstanding large kinetic energy imbued upon components during or after exercise as described herein, damage may be minimized by supplemental cushioning.

A modular exercise system includes a first strap that has a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side. The first strap is extendable around a door. A coupler is attached to the first end and receiving the second end to form a closed loop. A demarcation line is defined on the first strap to partition the first strap into a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes the first end and the second portion includes the second end. A second strap is attached to the first portion at a first attachment point and is attached to the second portion at a second attachment point. The second strap is configured to be positioned over an upper edge of a door. The exercising system is configured to engage a resistance band to releasably secure the resistance band to the door.

An exercise device that is composed of at least one ergonomic plate that has two end handles. In preferred embodiments, the device will be used with resistance bands. The handlebar-plate exercise device is flat and is made so that a first element of the device can connect to a second, third and fourth element of the device by using a friction-based peg system.

Presented is a portable full body work out system for indoor and outdoor uses. The system includes a pair of mounts configurable over an intended surface, a pair of bracket assembles releasably mountable over the mounts, a strap with extending around one or more pulleys of one of the bracket assemblies and operatively connecting to a securing device, a resistance band releasably mountable around a retainer member of one of the bracket assemblies and another coupled to the securing device. The securing device is selectively operated during initial set up to allow the user to adopt to an appropriate position to connect an external exercising accessory to the strap for performing an exercise. The user is able to select the desired resistance for the exercise, or reduce the selected resistance, or combine resistances for even greater resistance by selecting appropriate resistance bands, and/or changing the tension applied on the strap.
