A training apparatus provides a modular frame for performing group exercises. The frame includes a first, second, third vertical posts configured upright on a horizontal supporting surface and a crossbeam extending from a top of the second vertical post and a top of the third vertical post. The first vertical post and the second vertical post define a first vertical plane. The first vertical post and the third vertical post define a second vertical plane. The first vertical plane and the second vertical plane are arranged at a substantially right angle to each other. The crossbeam is adapted to be assembled with at least one first training attachment which is adjustable in a horizontal position. The second vertical post and the third vertical post are both adapted to be assembled with a second training attachment which is adjustable in a vertical position.

The disclosure describes a novel portable grip and finger strength training hangboard. The apparatus allows user to perform weightlifting exercises, with a focus on grip strength training. The device is unique as it eliminates the use of intermediary items such as ropes, or bolts for latching onto a source of resistance. The source of resistance is gym equipment comprising dumbbells, barbells, and pullup bars. The device of this disclosure has two main components, the gripping mechanism and the built-in hook mechanism. The user interacts with the gripping mechanism and adjusts their hands to the desired grip, such as pinch or crimp grip. The gripping mechanism of the device has varying embodiments and features comprising of grooves, loops and ridges. The built-in hook anchor of the device quickly latches on to the source of resistance and allows the user to easily change resistance from one workout to next.

An isolation bar for a chin-up or pull-up bar extends parallel or at an acute angle (angled facing upwards) and is below a grasping region of the chin-up or pull-up device. The isolation bar can be hung from the chin-up or pull-up bar by way of cables/elongated straps or be fixed to a door frame, wall mounted, or free standing device with the grasping region. In use, the forearms of a user are pushed against the isolation bar while carrying out a chin-up or pull-up.

A garment attachable to an exercise or therapeutic apparatus that is capable of elevating the user slightly above the ground, reducing potential for injury and strain by shifting the user's weight to the frame of the apparatus. The garment is incorporated into the apparatus by comprising panels under the buttocks and around the thighs, providing balance and lifting the user comfortably in conjunction with the frame. A low-friction plate is positioned under the user's feet so that the user can ambulate freely while held in place by the frame.

An exercise system for pull up exercises can include a bar, a first block, a first support bracket, and a first u-shaped pocket member. The bar can have a first bar end and a second bar end. The first block can be coupled to the first bar end, and the first block can contain a shock absorbing non-metal material. The first u-shaped pocket member can protrude from the first support bracket. The first u-shaped pocket member can be configured to at least partially mate with the first block such that when the first block slidably fits into the first u-shaped pocket member, the first block is restricted from rotating within the first u-shaped pocket member.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a cabled workout tower (CWT). In an illustrative example, the CWT includes a platform including a proximal base supporting opposing vertical supports extending along a longitudinal axis to a distal affixed pullup module. The CWT includes a weight platform including weight stacks housed. The CWT includes a pulley guided cable system operatively connected to cables with pulleys, including a distal weight platform pulley operatively coupled to a double pulley device. An upper pulley portion operatively couples to a distal base platform pulley and a proximal pull handle by an upper cable. A lower pulley portion operatively couples to an anchored weight proximal pulley anchored to a proximal base platform pulley coupled to a proximal pull handle. Various embodiments may advantageously enable users to perform hanging exercises from the pull up bar and weighted abdominal exercises by engaging the proximal pull handle.

A pulley system for assisting in the performance of exercises includes a first and a second belt member each having an attachment ring member on a first end and a handle on an opposing end, where the attachment ring members are configured for attachment to a horizontal bar and the first and second belt members are configured each for having a portion of the belt member and the belt member over-hanging the horizontal pullup bar. The pulley system further includes an arm support member having at least two pulley elements each interfacing with respective intermediate sections of the first and second belt members which are threaded through the at least two pulley elements and where the pulley system is configured for supporting a user under their arms using the arm support member while the user simultaneously grabs the overhanging handles for enabling the user to enhance a leg lifting exercise.
