The present invention provides a mountable arm assembly for fitness equipment, comprising two arm members and a connector for pivot connection of the two arm members. The two arm members respectively provide a plurality of assembly portions for length adjustment of the tension arm. The connector is formed with a pivot connection portion and a plurality of eccentric positioning portions. Specifically, an adjustable disposing angle is formed between the two arm members, and at least one of the two arm members sets the disposing angle through at least one eccentric positioning portion. The arm assembly can be mounted on fitness equipment and can swing back and forth through the pivot connection portion. The users can select one assembly portion on each of the two arm members for required tension arm lengths and add an applied force and a resistance force respectively on the two assembly portions. The invention effectively solves the problem that the existing fitness apparatuses do not offer adjustment of the tension arm length or the disposing angle.

The present disclosure provides training systems and apparatus for working out. The training system includes a pivotal bracket and a workout bar. The pivotal bracket includes a first portion and a second portion pivotally coupled to the first portion. The first portion is couplable to a support surface. The workout bar is coupled to the second portion of the pivotal bracket. The workout bar includes a cylindrical weight receiving portion positioned distal relative to the second portion of the pivotal bracket and a rectangular intermediate portion positioned between the second portion of the pivotal bracket and the cylindrical weight receiving portion. The weight bar may include a plurality of pairs of holes spaced apart along a length of the bar for receiving various attachment members for performing landmine workout movements. The training system may include other support structures to which the pivotal bracket is connected.

The present invention relates to a novel fitness weight device designed to allow users to customize dumbbell weights by filling the air chambers with air. The device comprises a dumbbell-styled weight with an inflatable air chamber. The devices can be inflated via a push button. Users can inflate the dumbbell devices to a desired weight for customized workouts. Once finished, the user can activate the air release valve to compact or retract the dumbbell for storage.

A set of dumbbells comprises a plurality of dumbbells of different weights with the dumbbells having a common length. A plurality of adder weights is provided with each adder weight having a cavity that is sized to receive the common length of any one of the dumbbells. Any one of the dumbbells is dropped down into the cavity of any one of the adder weights. A slide retainer is then slid into a slideway on the any one adder weight to overlie the dumbbell and secure the dumbbell to the any one adder weight. The slide retainer has a window therein to allow a user to reach through the slide retainer and grip a hand grip of the dumbbell.

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 environments—in 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.

The present invention may be embodied as a system or method for dynamically exercising a user's neck muscles. The system includes a headset, an arm attached thereto, a weight, and at least one motor to move the weight, for example, about the arm. The weight may be mounted eccentrically on a radial track that is rotatable by one motor and moved linearly by another motor. The direction of the arm, the distance between an apex of the headset and the weight, the eccentricity of the weight on the axis, and the speed of rotation of the motor are all parameters that can be adjusted by the caregiver or user, either manually or via controlling software.

This invention in the field of weightlifting assists a weightlifter in training more effectively, by providing an apparatus for decreasing weight during a weightlifting movement, such that more weight is lifted initially than must be set down again afterward. The apparatus consists generally of an arm extending from a hinge anchored at a fixed height, such that the arm may be placed atop a bar or barbell to be lifted. When the bar is lifted, the arm's position relative to the hinge causes the arm to fall off of the bar and remove the weight of the arm from the weight being lifted by the weightlifter. Thus, the amount of weight the weightlifter is lowering back down again is reduced compared to the amount of weight the weightlifter initially lifted.

A bi-directional exercise machine has a work arm, first and second cams coupled to the work arm, a resistance mechanism, and a pulley assembly that couples the resistance mechanism to the work arm via the first and second cams so that movement of the work arm is resisted by the resistance mechanism according to first and second resistance profiles provided by the first and second cams, respectfully. A primary pulley cable has a first end coupled to the first cam and a second end coupled to the second cam. When the work arm is in a rest position, the ends of the primary pulley cable extend from cable tracks of the cams, respectively, at a tangent so that the resistance mechanism applies a resistance force on the work arm via the pulley assembly immediately upon movement of the work arm out of the rest position.
