An exercise machine which includes a centralized spring box and multiple gripping surfaces with which an exerciser may perform a wide range of exercise moves. The exercise machine includes a movable carriage and platform on a track. Bias members may be connected between the carriage and various structural elements of the exercise machine so as to impart a resistance force against movement of the carriage. An outer handle may be positioned around a carriage platform so as to surround the carriage platform. Inner handles may be positioned between the carriage platform and the outer handle, with the inner handle(s) being connected not to the outer handle or the carriage platform, but to an underlying support assembly. A pair of end handles may extend outwardly from the ends of the exercise machine. A bias member retainer such as a spring box may be centrally-located along the length of the exercise machine.

A pulley rack for an exercise machine includes a support frame, an upright extending generally vertically within the support frame, a counterweight having one or more counterweight pulleys, the counterweight moveable in a vertical direction relative to the support frame, one or more guide pulleys mounted to the support frame, a cable end assembly mounted to the upright, and a pull cable having a fixed attachment end connected to the cable end assembly and a pullable end freely passing through the cable end assembly. The pull cable is routed through the cable end assembly, the counterweight pulleys, and guide pulleys such that a force exerted on the pullable end raises the counterweight. A section of the pull cable extends from the pullable end through the cable end assembly and downwardly to one of the guide pulleys mounted below the cable end assembly.

An exercise machine may include a box rack and at least one functional training device secured to the box rack and connected to at least one resistance device. The box rack may be comprised of a number of base members, vertical members, and upper members. A first functional training device may be mounted to a first vertical member in a slidable arrangement. A second functional training device may be mounted to a second vertical member in a slidable arrangement. A third functional training device may be located on an upper portion of the box rack. A fourth functional training device may be located on a lower portion of the box rack.

A cable exercise machine may include a first vertical guide, a first pull cable routed through a first pulley, a second vertical guide, a second pull cable routed through a second pulley, and an electronic control panel. The first pulley may be movable along a length of the first vertical guide, and the second pulley may be movable along a length of the second vertical guide. The electronic control panel may be configured to: electronically allow for one or more levels of resistance to a user pulling on the first pull cable and/or the second pull cable, electronically allow for adjustment of the level of resistance to the user pulling on the first pull cable and/or the second pull cable, and electronically present the adjusted level of resistance to the user.

The invention concerns a modular exercise system having a first support frame module having a plurality of frame members, each member being joined to an adjacent frame member and oriented in a common plane such that the first support frame is two-dimensional in form. The modular exercise system further requires a weight source mounted on the first support frame, a plurality of pulleys mounted to different frame members of the first support frame, and a cable running from the weight source over the pulleys to connect the weight source to one or more manual actuator for performing a resistance exercise in use. The first support frame has one or more attachment formation for selective attachment to one or more further support frame module. The further support frame module is also two-dimensional in form and attachable to the first support frame in an orientation within the common plane, wherein the further support frame module has one or more further manual actuator.

A cable exercise machine may include a first vertical guide, a first pull cable routed through a first pulley, a second vertical guide, a second pull cable routed through a second pulley, and an electronic control panel. The first pulley may be movable along a length of the first vertical guide, and the second pulley may be movable along a length of the second vertical guide. The electronic control panel may be configured to: electronically allow for one or more levels of resistance to a user pulling on the first pull cable and/or the second pull cable, electronically allow for adjustment of the level of resistance to the user pulling on the first pull cable and/or the second pull cable, and electronically present the adjusted level of resistance to the user.

An exercise machine having non-matched cable pairing is provided. The exercise machine may include a frame, a resistance element, at least a first plurality of corresponding engagement points and a second plurality of corresponding engagement points operatively associated with the frame, and first and second elongated flexible members routed through a pulley system. The first flexible member may be operably associated with the resistance element and may include opposing cable portions associated with and extending between one of the first plurality of corresponding engagement points and another engagement point not in the first plurality of corresponding engagement points. The second flexible member may be operably associated with the resistance element and may include opposing cable portions associated with and extending between another of the first plurality of corresponding engagement points and another engagement point not in the first plurality of corresponding engagement points.

An exercise machine has a base housing and a boom that extends from a proximal end to a distal end. The boom is able to pivot between a rowing configuration wherein the boom is generally horizontal, and a skiing configuration wherein the boom is generally vertical. A rowing assembly includes a row handle attached to a row chain which extends into the base housing, to a row recoil device. A ski assembly includes a pair of ski handles, each ski handle being attached to a ski rope which extends into the base housing, to a ski recoil device. A transmission system has a shaft that is operably connected to a resistance device, the shaft having a row sprocket and a pair of ski spools, and the respective cables contact the spools so that movement of one of the cables rotates the respective spool, thereby rotating the shaft.

A gym tower which includes a base and a plurality of internal weights vertically stacked on the base. A frame is connected to the base and extends upward from the base to engage with the plurality of internal weights. A top plate is connected to the frame, so that the base and the plate enclose the plurality of internal weights within the frame. The tower also includes a spine is adapted to selectively engage the plurality of internal weights. A main pulley is connected to the top plate and a main cable is fed through the main pulley. The main cable is connectable to the spine at a first end and includes a connector device at a second end. The tower also includes a rod adapted to engage with the spine and to select an internal weight and is adapted to secure to external weights.

A cable exercise machine includes a first pull cable and a second pull cable incorporated into a frame. Each of the first pull cable and the second pull cable are linked to at least one resistance mechanism. The at least one resistance mechanism includes a flywheel and a magnetic unit arranged to resist movement of the flywheel.
