An exercise machine support system for providing increased versatility including inclination or declination of an exercise surface, a reduction in the overall length and width of the exercise machine, and an enhanced user interface which reduces the risk of injury. The exercise machine support system generally includes a cantilevered exercise machine which is adapted to have a variable angle of incline or decline with respect to a horizontal ground surface. The exercise machine will generally include a base and a support which extends between the base and the exercise machine. The upper end of the support is connected to the exercise machine by a first pivot such that the exercise machine pivots about the support. An adjustment device may be utilized to pivot the exercise machine and thus adjust its angle of incline. Various types of adjustment devices are disclosed, including an actuator, ratchet-and-pawl, gears, and cam.

A climbing exerciser includes a base having two parallel rail posts to which two sliding units are respectively connected. Each sliding unit includes a sliding rod, a handle and a pedal. The sliding rod is movably located in the correspondent rail post. A transmission unit includes two down chain wheels and two up chain wheels respectively and rotatably connected to the support. Two front chains are engaged with the down chain wheels and connected with the connection members. Two side chains are engaged with the two up chain wheels and connected with the connection members. A cable is engaged with two respective two stationary pulleys and connected to the two side chains. A magnetic-resistance unit is connected to the support and driven by the two up chain wheels. The two sliding posts alternatively movable along the rail post to simulate rock climbing actions.

The present invention relates to a device which enables a selective therapeutic exercise regimen by providing a tensioning mechanism attached to a rotatable platform along with the unique feature is where two trollies on curved rails operating on X-axis and Y-axis when pressure is applied, will work in unison to travel in any desired direction creating a unique spherically rotational reaction. The platform will react to changes in the operator's weight shifts and center of gravity placed upon it. When this novel multi-rotational aspect of the platform responds to subtle changes in the operator's center of gravity, movement of the platform will occur. These changes trigger muscular contractions around the joints of the operator responding to the rotation of the platform while the tensioning mechanism allows for selective resistance to the free movement of the platform enabling selective exercise and therapy routines for various muscle groups. Additionally, the present Multi-Planar Rotational Platform and Suspension Device offers easy scalability and uniform or non-uniform scaling in the X-axis, the Y-axis and/or the Z-axis.

An exercise machine has a base supporting a boom. The boom has an elongate rigid body that is attached at a proximal end via a pivot mount to the base such that the boom is able to pivot about an axis with respect to the base between a rowing configuration wherein the boom is horizontal, and a climbing configuration wherein the boom extends upwardly. A seat element is slidably mounted above the boom when the boom is in the rowing configuration. A row handle is attached to a row transmission system that includes a row cable that extends to a row resistance device. The boom has a pair of climb handles and a pair of climb pedals, each slidably mounted on the boom, for performing climbing exercises. A climber transmission system connects the climb handles and climb pedals to a climber resistance device.

The climbing machine structure includes a support frame, a first slide rail unit, a second slide rail unit, a first pedal, a second pedal, a first handle, a second handle, and a transmission unit. The first slide rail unit and the second slide rail unit are juxtaposed on the support frame. A first top end of the first slide rail unit and a second top end of the second slide rail unit are lower than an eye position of the operator in the height direction. Thereby, the line of sight of the operator won't be blocked.

The invention relates to an elliptical trainer including: a frame having a first end and a second end; a rocker-rod mechanism hingedly connected to the first end of the frame; a pedal mechanism hingedly connected to the second end of the frame through a transmission mechanism; an adjustment mechanism including an adjustment table, one end of the adjustment table being rotatably connected to the frame, the pedal mechanism being slidably connected to the adjustment table, the adjustment mechanism adjusting the position of the pedal mechanism relative to the frame; and a link the two ends of which are connected to the rocker-rod mechanism and the pedal mechanism respectively so that the rocker-rod mechanism is linked with the pedal mechanism. Since the apparatus of the invention is provided with an adjustment mechanism which is rotatably connected to the frame and the pedal mechanism is slidably connected to the adjustment mechanism, an exercise experience that the user simulates climbing by means of the pedal mechanism can be improved by changing an elevation angle of the adjustment mechanism relative to the frame. In the apparatus of the invention, a resistance adjustment mechanism is provided on a flywheel, the user can obtain more exercise experiences by increasing rotation resistance of the flywheel and a turntable.

A vertical stepping machine includes a frame, a crank wheel connected to the frame, a crank arm extending away from a rotational axis of the crank wheel, and a pedal beam connected to the crank arm. A linkage assembly is connected to the frame at a fixed frame location and to the pedal beam at a fixed pedal beam location. A first linkage member of the linkage assembly has a length that forces the pedal beam to travel along an elliptical path as the crank wheel rotates.

A stationary exercise apparatus includes a frame; two moving members respectively coupled to the frame, one end portions of the moving members located to define a swing axis; two swing members, one end portions of the swing members respectively pivotally joined to the swing axis of the moving members; two supporting members respectively connected to the swing members, wherein one end portions of the supporting members are movably coupled to the frame, the other end portions of the supporting members are respectively joined to the swing members so that one end portions of the supporting members moving along a reciprocating path; and two pedal sets respectively coupled to the supporting members, the pedal sets moving along a first path while the one end portions of the supporting members are reciprocating along the reciprocating path and the other end portions of the supporting members are rotating about a rotating axis.

Exercise machine includes a base and a cushion. The cushion is slidably connected to the rotary rod. A left pedal and a right pedal are arranged at the front end of the base or at positions. A supporting rail is arranged on the base and has two sides respectively provided with guide grooves. A sliding frame is cooperatively disposed on the supporting rail and provided with left wheels and right wheels, which are respectively matched with the guide grooves. A left cross rod and a right cross rod respectively extend out from two sides of the supporting rod. A left pull rod and a right pull rod are respectively hinged to the end of the left cross rod and the end of the right cross rod. Elastic ropes are disposed between the left pull rod and the rotary rod, and also between the right pull rod and the rotary rod.
