The disclosure provided herein is directed to a torque pull-up bar having a torque assembly positioned over a pull-up bar that is configured to selectively limit the rotation of a pull-up bar between a static position and freewheeling. In a strong resistance configuration and a weak configuration, the pull-up bar is capable of a limited rotation due to a resistance member that is biased to return to a natural state. Through selective engagement of the resistance member with the pull-up bar, the degree of rotation is modified.

A four-bar linkage assembly exercise station that can be adjusted to various configurations to create various exercise motions having at least one adjustable operational pivot that is movable prior to operation of the machine and stationary during operation of the machine and at least one stationary adjustment pivot operatively connected to the at least one adjustable operational pivot. The stationary adjustment pivot is also operatively connected to an adjusting and latching component or assembly that can be engaged by a user prior to operation of the machine to adjust the four-bar linkage assembly exercise station to a desired configuration to create a unique exercise motion and secure the desired configuration of the adjustable four-bar linkage assembly.

The invention is embodied in an exercise system that can allow its user to counterbalance the effects associated with a predominantly sedentary lifestyle though a fitness device that comprises a combination of (a) supporting the lower body in a manner that permits a user's upper body to act as a third class lever with the user's hips operating as fulcrum and (b) engaging in resistance exercises with the upper body in a horizontal position, unsupported above the greater trochanter.

A weightlifting assembly includes a wall mount bracket configured for mounting to a wall surface and a weightlifting rack assembly connected to the wall mount bracket. The weightlifting rack assembly may have various configurations, including a foldable weight rack assembly, a pull-up bar, a fixed weightlifting rack, a wall-mount weightlifting rack, or various other configurations. The wall mount bracket may be elongated along a lateral width thereof and may have a first mounting region and a second mounting region spaced from each other along the lateral width the wall mount bracket. The wall mount bracket may also include a central panel that is spaced from the wall surface to provide clearance for fasteners for connection to the weightlifting rack assembly, and in some embodiments, the weightlifting rack assembly may be connected to multiple wall mount panels.

A leg tuck exercise training and resistance device that can be mounted to stabilized objects to allow a user to improve muscle strength and coordination over time when performing a leg tuck exercise is disclosed.

A pull up system including a bar member a support assembly. The bar member is coupled to the support assembly and the support assembly is attachable to an outside surface. A bar locking fastener is likewise disclosed, as is a support assembly for a pull up system.

A pull up accessory that removably clips onto an existing pull up bar and provides one or more different hand positions for performing pulls ups or chin ups. An upper portion clips onto the existing bar, and a lower hand engaging portion is provided that is substantially transverse to the existing bar. A locking rotation mechanism can be included that allows the lower hand engaging portion to rotate with respect to the upper bar engaging portion in predetermined increments.

The invention relates to a fitness device (100) for the practice of fitness exercises, with at least two front limbs (1a, 1b) and with at least two rear limbs (2a, 2b), which are each connected to one another in an upper end area (oEb) with connecting joints (3a, 3b) and with at least one connecting or horizontal bar (4), and the fitness device (100) comprising at least two fixing holders (9a, 9b), by means of which in each case one of the front limbs (1a, 1b) is connectable to in each case one of the rear limbs (2a, 2b) in such a way that a fixed operating position (Bp) of the fitness device (100) is produced at at least one predetermined spread angle (Sw) between the front limbs (1a, 1b) and the rear limbs (2a, 2b).

Doorframe mountable exercise apparatus. A doorframe mountable exercise apparatus may include a leg tuck bar configured to be mounted to a doorframe. The leg tuck bar may be configured to run approximately perpendicular to a head of the doorframe. The leg tuck bar may be configured to be approximately centrally located between jambs of the doorframe.

Described herein are methods of manufacturing multi-use mounting brackets having an extension with an internal support rod configured to support gym accessories. A single multi-use mounting bracket fits gym rigging or gym racks of different sizes and hole configurations. This accomplished by including multiple pairs of holes that are sized and positioned to be compatible with different gym rigging configurations. The multi-use mounting brackets described herein are advantageously designed to resist both downward and upward forces.
