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 machine accessory system for facilitating exerciser rehydration during a workout and antibacterial machine wipe down. The exercise machine accessory system generally includes an exercise machine having a first end and a second end, first and second stationary exercise platforms, a movable carriage movably positioned upon a rail, a biasing member connected to the movable carriage, first and second handle assemblies connected to the frame of the exercise machine, a first bottle holder, a first antibacterial wipes dispenser and/or a first disposal receptacle connected to the first right handle assembly or the first left handle assembly.

A hand strength appliance is provided that may be used in multiple or selected configurations for grip and pinch strength assessment as well as grip and pinch exercises. The appliance includes a frame and a sliding internal handle fitted within and slidable within the frame, and may be positioned for multiple test positions and exercises. The appliance may include and be used with a force sensing device that may transmit information to a computing device.

A device is used for carrying out movements by shifting the center of gravity and/or actuating muscles of a human body. A user lies on the device and shifts the center of gravity by moving his or her hip region in order to incline a movable part of the device including the user's own body in different directions. Furthermore, the user wears video goggles or the like during the process and can move in a virtual environment using the overall system, which includes the video goggles and the movement device and can interact with these. The movements caused by the user can be generated solely using gravity by shifting the center of gravity. Additionally, the movements of the device are influenced by motors or dampers arranged in or on the device.

An exercise machine resistance adjustment system for providing an exerciser the ability to immediately adjust the resistance force by changing their body position on the movable carriage or end platforms. The exercise machine resistance adjustment system generally includes a frame, a carriage movably positioned on the frame, a spring connected to the carriage to apply a biasing force to the carriage, one or more left projections within the carriage adapted for a left hand of an exerciser to grasp, and one or more right projections within the carriage adapted for a right hand of an exerciser to grasp. The exerciser is able to efficiently adjust the amount of resistance force applied to the carriage by repositioning their hands (or feet) from a first set of projections at a first distance to a second set of projections at a second distance from the first end of the exercise machine.

A device for training abductors and/or adductors of the hip joint, having a frame and guided, movable seating. The characterizing feature of the device is that abductors and/or adductors of the hip joint can be trained. To this end, the guiding component of the seating, which is pivotally connected to the frame and can be locked in various positions, has a first rest for at least lateral placement of the knee, at least a lower leg region and/or at least a thigh region of one leg. Furthermore, the guided component of the seating is provided with a seat having a second rest and a third rest for lateral placement of at least the upper region of the pelvis and/or at least a region of the upper body. The second rest and/or the third rest can be adjusted into and locked in its position in order to provide lateral fixing.

The upper body exercise device is a resistance based training device that is adapted for use by a person. Specifically, the upper body exercise device uses the weight of the exerciser to generate a counterforce that provides resistance to specific upper body exercises. The upper body exercise device comprises a frame, a first resistance system, a second resistance system, and a third resistance system.

An abdominal exercise apparatus can include a track, at least one rolling member, a cart, and a base. The track can extend between first and second ends. The rolling member can be moveable along the track. The cart can support the rolling member for the movement along the track and be grasped by the user during exercise. The base can be engaged proximate to the first end and have a surface configured to receive the knees of the user during exercise. The second end can be pivotally movable about the base over an arcuate range by the user while exercising during the rectilinear and rolling movement along the track by the at least one rolling member. The apparatus can also include a structure such as a helical spring for resisting pivotal movement that is elastically deformable.

Disclosed is a masticatory muscle exercise device. The masticatory muscle exercise device includes: an upper mouthpiece; a lower mouthpiece; and at least one elastic member applying elasticity to the upper mouthpiece and the lower mouthpiece. According to the masticatory muscle exercise device, a user can strengthen his/her masticatory muscles by actively exercising.

An exercise machine which allows for a wide range of exercises while maintaining improved balance and control for the exerciser. The exercise machine generally includes a frame having a first track, a carriage movably connected to the first track, a first platform and a second platform connected to the frame, a first stationary handle extending upwardly from the upper surface of the first platform, and a second stationary handle extending upwardly from the upper surface of the first platform.
