The present invention provides an exercise device (100) for exercising core muscles of a user’s torso. The exercise device comprises a frame (110), configured to be supported by the user and a radially outwardly facing channel (130; FIG. 6), the channel (130) configured to receive a resistance member. The frame defines an aperture (112) configured to receive a torso of the user and the device (100) is configured to provide a resistance force against which the user can exercise when the device (100) is in use. Also claimed is a kit of parts comprising the device (100) and a resistance member, and a method of exercising core muscles of one’s torso.

A fitness exercise apparatus includes a base member, a support unit disposed on the base member, and a pivot assembly disposed on the support unit. A seat frame includes a guide rail having a front end provided with a pivot connecting member pivotally connected to the pivot assembly. The seat frame is pivotally movable to different angular positions relative to the base member. An elastic cord unit includes a plurality of first and second elastic cords connected to the support unit. A pulling unit includes two first cables connectable with the first elastic cords. An operating unit is connectable with the first cables.

A resistance adjustable exercise device, including a resistance assembly to provide resistance to movement, a handle assembly connected to at least a portion of the resistance assembly to move the resistance assembly in at least one of a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction, and a control unit disposed on at least a portion of the handle assembly to adjust at least one of a first resistance level and a second resistance level of the resistance assembly.

An exercise device is described which includes a platform having a first end and a second end opposite the first end; first and second wheels, wherein the first wheel is positioned proximate the first end and the second wheel is positioned proximate the second end and the first and second wheels are configured to roll across a surface as the exercise device is displaced along the surface; a first motor configured to apply a first torque to the first wheel where the magnitude of the first torque is related to the distance of the exercise device from a zero position and the direction of the first torque urges movement of the exercise device toward the zero position. Versions are also described with more wheels and more motors.

An exercise system includes a base module having a seat with a seat depth, and a vertically adjustable back configured to fixedly engage with the base module at a first seat depth and a second seat depth different from the first seat depth.

A system and method for networking fitness machines for allowing an instructor to control various settings for a plurality of exercise machines simultaneously, and for allowing an individual user and/or trainer to modify the settings of an individual exercise machine. The system and method for networking fitness machines generally includes a trainer remote control device, one or more machine-mounted onboard trainer controllers, and a machine-mounted onboard user controller. The trainer remote control device may be securely mounted to the arm of a trainer so that the trainer's hands remain free to instruct exercisers. The trainer remote control device includes a touch screen that displays selections corresponding to various settings on the exercise machines. The trainer remote control communicates with the plurality of exercise machines via a wireless network or Bluetooth connection allowing the trainer to change the settings of a plurality of exercise machines in a class mode simultaneously.

An exercise bar is provided. The exercise bar includes a handle tube with a longitudinal interior bore. The handle tube has a first end and a second end. A center shaft has an outer surface. The center shaft is fitted through the longitudinal interior bore exposing a first end portion of the center shaft at the first end of the handle tube and exposing a second end portion of the center shaft at the second end of the handle tube. A sensor is disposed on a mounting section of the outer surface of the center shaft between the first and second portion of the center shaft. A processor is disposed in an interior of the exercise bar. The sensor is in electronic communication with the processor in the exercise bar.

An exercise machine has a two-part hexagonal base. A plurality of supports is attached to the two-part hexagonal base, and a pair of intermediary elastics, each arranged by crossing one side extremity of the two-part hexagonal base from a top extremity of the exercise machine to the bottom face of the opposite extremity of the two-part hexagonal base. A top two-part bar is arranged horizontally between tops of the pair of intermediary elastics. A top cylindrical wheel arranged and centered on the top two-part bar, wherein the two-part hexagonal base having a set of cylindrical openings spaced along an entire length of the two-part hexagonal base, two side openings, two rollers, arranged transversally centered in a one of the two side openings, a bottom hollow arranged along the an entire length of the bottom of the two-part hexagonal base, two pairs of straight bottom bars arranged centered and spaced on and along the entire length of the bottom face of the two-part hexagonal base.

The present invention discloses a swing exercise machine including a support frame, a pair of footrests disposed at both sides of support frame and at least one suspension arm disposed between footrests and support frame, each footrest is rotatably connected to at least one suspension arm, and a pivot assembly is provided between the support frame and each suspension arm. The present invention is equipped with a support frame, a pair of footrests, and at least one suspension arm disposed between each footrest and support frame, each footrest is rotatably connected to at least one suspension arm, the connected X and Y pivot assemblies are disposed between suspension arms and support frame to allow footrests to swing back-and-forth, left-and-right. The present invention has simple structure and small volume, can realize effect of large-scale forward, backward, left and right movement of footrests through suspension arms, thus can effectively realize fitness effects.
