An exercise support frame system includes a lower base assembly able to rest on the ground and an upper frame assembly able to surround a user standing on the lower base. A horizontal bar is disposed within the upper frame above the user, and may either be used as a pull-up bar, or may support various implements useful for various arm lift interfaces. The upper frame has left and right vertical supports, which are affixed to the base via a pair of pins passing through each support. The pins are modular and permit the upper frame to pivot upon the base when only one pin is passed through each vertical support, enabling conversion of the exercise support frame between deployed and stowage configurations.

Embodiments of a strength training apparatus and related methods are provided. In one embodiment, a strength training apparatus may include a tower, a first arm and a second arm each pivotally coupled with the tower and each being configured to be selectively positionable independent of each other at multiple angles relative to each other, a first pulley coupled to an end of the first arm, a first cable extending through the first arm and the first pulley, a second pulley coupled to an end of the second arm, a second cable extending through the second arm and the second pulley, a magnetic mechanism coupled to the first cable and the second cable and configured to provide multiple levels of resistance to a user pulling on the first cable and/or the second cable, and a control panel located on the tower.

A method of varying a resistive force applied by exercise equipment including providing a resistance band assembly for providing resistive force during the performance of an exercise. The resistance band assembly includes a housing having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. A bore is defined in the housing and a connector is provided in the bore. The connector includes first and second surfaces and a hole is defined in the connector and extends between the surfaces. A disc is also provided in the bore and also has a first and second surface. An aperture is defined in the disc and extends between the first and second surfaces thereof. A first and second resilient member is provided and these resilient members are selectively engageable with the resistance band assembly to provide a first resistive force during the performance of an exercise.

A layered strap-like apparatus for exercising, stretching and training multiple muscle groups of the entire body of a user. The apparatus is adapted to be worn about the waist or carried as a bandolier about the user's body. The apparatus has an optional, releasably closable pocket between the layers for securing and carrying accessories, such as attachable handles and elastic bands. The apparatus and methods of use provide the user with balanced loading options and the flexibility to exercise anywhere.

A mobile exercise device (1) having a plurality of exercise equipment modules (2, 3, 4). Each said module including a frame (7, 8, 9) defining a space (10, 11, 12) adapted to receive exercise equipment. A plurality of mounting means (46) locatable on said frames to connect said modules together. A plurality of indicators (30) operatively associated with said modules and adapted in use to direct a user and/or trainer to the equipment to use for a particular exercise routine.

An exercise device includes a pivot adjustably positioned at an intermediate point along the length of an elongate support element. One or more lower body supports are mounted on the elongate support element on a first side of the pivot and one or more upper body supports mounted on the elongate support on a second side of the pivot. The device may be used in push up, sit up, inverted pull up or leg raise modes.

Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for performing various physical exercises. A push-up apparatus is disclosed including a handle member having a first distal end portion and a second distal end portion, and first and second support members, each including a substantially flat support surface and a bearing structure rotatably coupled to one of the first and second distal end portions of the handle member, the bearing structure being positioned such that a respective distal end of the handle member is closer to a top surface of the respective support member opposite the support surface than to the support surface. The handle member is configured to rotate axially about a central axis of the handle member independently of the first and second support members.

There is provided a high bar assembly attachable to a door frame, the assembly comprising: first and second door frame attachments secured to a door frame, wherein first and second door frame attachments are secured to first and second opposite inner side walls of the door frame respectively; first and second retainers protruding inwardly from the first and second door frame attachments in a monolithic or integrated manner therewith respectively; first and second bar supports retained or supported by the first and second retainers, wherein each bar support has a retainer groove in a first end thereof, wherein each retainer is slidably and removably fitted with each retainer groove in a horizontal direction, wherein each bar support is secured to each door frame attachment, wherein the second end of each support bar protrudes horizontally beyond the door frame by a predetermined distance; and an elongate bar passing through the second ends of the first and second bar supports.

A pull-up fitness exercise machine with a grip bar hanging frame structure for a hang-up training includes a support board. The support board is automatically lifted upward by a pushing unit for the user to take an expected pull-up exercise. The pushing unit is activated by an electric adjusting element in a mechanism box unit for a proper adjustment of the pushing force. The support board is provided with a hand-operated switch unit and a foot-operated switch unit for cooperating with their corresponding barbed hooks respectively, such that the support board can always be kept at a relatively low position in the case that the foot-operated switch group is not stressed. A hanging frame having a plurality of corresponding hanging bars is positioned on both top ends of the front frame for providing a random hanging of a grip bar with a safety sling.
