The present disclosure provides an exercise apparatus designed to allow a user to perform a gluteal bridge, typically with resistance, to improve the strength of the user's posterior hip and gluteal muscles. The exercise apparatus is configurable for use in different environmentsin a gym, fitness center or training facility, a spa or studio, or a home gym. The exercise apparatus includes a frame assembly, a bench assembly, and a resistance assembly. The bench assembly is pivotally connected to the frame assembly to provide an elevated pivot point about which the bench assembly pivots when the user performs the gluteal bridge movement. The resistance assembly is operably connected to the bench assembly and provides a resistance force that the user overcomes in order to pivotally move the bench through the gluteal bridge movement. The resistance assembly can include a cable, pulley and weight stack, or an elastically deformable band.

An apparatus can include a base with a pair of horizontal beams and a pair of uprights. The apparatus can include a support arm that is pivotally connected to the base. The support arm can include a buttock pad. The apparatus can include a compressible linkage connected to the support arm. The apparatus can include a pair of foot ramps. The pair of foot ramps can each be positioned along a respective one of the horizontal beams. The pair of foot ramps can be configured to angle a user's foot relative to a surface.

An adjustable reformer for exercising is provided. The reformer includes a frame, a carriage slidably mounted to the horizontal frame, and at least one resistance element connected to the carriage. A cord connects the carriage to at least one lower guide and at least one upper guide. Pulling the cord causes movement of the carriage along the frame against resistance provided by the resistance element. The guides can be height adjustable. The reformer can include a cord-length adjustment system. Related methods of exercise are also provided.

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.

A golf club head includes a metallic section, a polymeric section, and an adhesive material. The metallic section defines an opening and the polymeric section extends over the opening. The adhesive material is disposed between the metallic section and the polymeric section to form an adhesive joint therebetween. The adhesive joint has an adhesive retaining strength configured to inhibit the polymeric section from being detached from the metallic section when the adhesive material is at least partially cured. The metallic section and the polymeric section are also mechanically engaged with one another to form a mechanical joint therebetween having a mechanical retaining strength configured to inhibit the polymeric section from being detached from the metallic section. The adhesive retaining strength of the adhesive joint, alone, is greater than the mechanical retaining strength of the mechanical joint, alone, only when the adhesive material is at least partially cured.

A chair includes a movable part including a seat on which a user sits, a supporting part configured to support the movable part in such a way that the movable part can be moved to the right and to the left; and a restoration unit, which is a biasing member configured to bias the movable part toward the neutral position in the right and the left. The supporting part supports the movable part in such a way that the movable part descends as the movable part is away from the neutral position.

An auxiliary foam roller exercise support apparatus including a trapezoidal platform with an open center area, a left longitudinal side, a right longitudinal side, an open front side, and a rear longitudinal side. A flexible cover over the open center area enables a user to rest his or her head and neck while exercising with a foam roller. Each of a left front leg and a right front leg of a pair of front legs has a handle at the top, a wheel at the bottom, and is attached to the trapezoidal platform. Each of a left rear leg and a right rear leg of a pair of rear legs also has a wheel at the bottom and is attached to the rear longitudinal side of the trapezoidal platform. A pair of cross beams support the apparatus and connect at each of the bottom of the pair of front legs and the pair of rear legs.

A dual-purpose rehabilitation machine includes a base, a fixed rod unit, a mobile device, several fastener belts and a driving unit installed behind the fixed rod unit so as to shorten a distance between a user and the fixed rod unit such that when a piston unit of the driving unit is moved to a second position, the user is lifted upward from a bed or chair to abut against the fixed rod unit. The fastener belts are mounted on the mobile device, thereby eliminating the employment of a belt-fixing rod and avoiding collision of a user's head against the belt-fixing rod, which in turn, economizes the storage space and the manufacturing expense. The fastener belts are distributed on several parts of the patient to assist in stable standing up of the patient and preventing wobbling of lower parts of the patient when standing up.
