A modular exercise apparatus comprising a frame, a common drivetrain supported by the frame and including a common axle, a plurality of input receivers coupled to the common axle, and a resistance member operably coupled to the common axle and operable to provide resistance against rotation of the common axle, a first exercise attachment including a first drive member operably coupled to a first input receiver of the plurality of input receivers of the common drivetrain, and a second exercise attachment including a second drive member operably coupled to a second input receiver of the plurality of input receivers of the common drivetrain.

The invention pertains to a stationary exercise bike along with a display that provides instruction to lead a rider through an exercise program. The invention allows a rider to obtain benefits of a group, instructor-led class though the rider's schedule does not permit the rider to participate in the class. The invention also describes a method of exercising with the foregoing bike and display.

An exercise machine for a total body workout includes a platform, a lower frame mounted over the platform, and an upper frame mounted to the lower frame. The platform includes recoiling shock absorbers such as springs. A lower drive assembly includes a pair of pedals mounted to the lower frame. An upper drive assembly includes a pair of handles mounted to the upper frame. A person for exercise can stand on the pair of peddles while grabbing the pair of handles. Thereafter, the person can rotate the pair of the peddles by legs and the pair handles by hands in the cycling motion.

A variable-resistance exercise machine with network communication for smart device control and interactive software applications, comprising a network interface that receives input from a user device and provides output to a user device; a plurality of moving surfaces that each provide an independent degree of resistance to movement based on received input, a sensor that detects movement and provides output to a user device based on the movement.

An exercise apparatus having a stationary frame, a handlebar assembly, a frontal-torso assembly, a resistance assembly, a rotatable crankset having a pair of crankarms with pedals mounted thereon where the crankset is positioned rearward of the handlebar assembly and the frontal-torso assembly.

An exercise machine for a near-elliptical arm movement, comprising at least one manual arm-moving structure system enabling an elliptical movement pivotably connected to a cycling pivot shaft structure at one position thereof, and performs a circular movement, elliptical movement, near-elliptical movement, or unidirectional full-cycle movement; and pivotably connected to a reciprocating pivot shaft structure at another position thereof, or performs a linear or curved bidirectional reciprocating movements under restriction and control of a related guide wheel structure system or guide rail structure system. Other portions of the manual arm-moving structure enabling the elliptical movement perform a near-elliptical movement under the collective action of systems related to the full-cycle movement or the bidirectional reciprocating movement. An arm of a user is also moved in a near-elliptical trajectory by means of a corresponding handle structure directly or indirectly provided on the manual arm-moving structure enabling the elliptical movement.
