A computer implemented system provides a cruise control function, during a fitness equipment-based workout, to report a power output amount based on a cruise control set-point. The system includes a piece of fitness equipment, a control device, and a computing device. The fitness equipment produces an output corresponding to actual power produced on the fitness equipment. The control device transmits an indication of power being produced to the computing device as an input to a fitness training game. In a first operational state, the indication represents the actual amount of power being produced via operation of the fitness equipment by the user, but in a second operational state, the numerical indication is a virtual power amount corresponding to a cruise control set-point amount established via the control device.

An exercise machine having a force transmission assembly rotatable in first and second directions, first and second wheels rotatable in first and second directions, a first directional coupler that couples the force transmission assembly to the first wheel when the force transmission assembly rotates in the first direction, and a second directional coupler that couples the force transmission assembly to the second wheel when the force transmission assembly rotates in the second direction. The first directional coupler allows the force transmission assembly to rotate with respect to the first wheel when the force transmission assembly moves in the second direction, and the second directional coupler allows the force transmission assembly to rotate with respect to the second wheel when the force transmission assembly moves in the first direction. A resistance mechanism may be configured to resist rotation of the first and second wheels independently from each other.

A bicycle trainer includes a base having a base portion and a standing portion, a supporting frame rotationally pivoted on the standing portion of the base around an axle, a cassette module mounted on the supporting frame and having multiple sprockets, and a flywheel module mounted on the supporting frame. A height adjusting member includes the standing portion, the supporting frame and a fixing element. The fixing element is placed in or between the standing portion and the supporting frame for keeping the supporting frame at a predetermined angle with respect to the standing portion.

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.

The present disclosure relates to an exercise apparatus. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an apparatus operated by hand which comprises a base upon which extend frame supports for the seat unit, resistance unit, crank unit, and guide unit. Embodiments provide for a crank to be mounted to the base and frame and wherein the crank is connected to first and second actuating rods via a coupling. The actuating rods are slidably connected at one end via a guide pivotally mounted to the frame and have a free end for a user to grip.

An apparatus enabling a user to perform a simulated bicycling exercise includes a frame, two mounting points defining an axis, the two mounting points comprising an upper rear mounting point comprising an upper rear rotating joint and a lower front mounting point comprising a pivoting connection arrangement proximate to and interacting with the frame, the pivoting connection arrangement comprising at least one resistive element configured to provide resistive force returning the frame to a neutral centered orientation from an off-centered orientation and pedals associated with a wheel and the frame, the pedals enabling the user, when facing forward, to apply force to the pedals and rotate the wheel. The frame is configured to receive forces from the user and dissipate the forces into frame leaning forces such that the user has an ability to cause the frame to pivot about the two mounting points by leaning to one side.

A fly wheel resistance workout system is provided. One embodiment includes a plurality of braces secured into at least one of a floor surface and a wall surface, wherein each one of the plurality of braces on the floor surface or the wall surface is located at a predefined location on the floor surface or the wall surface; a removeable anchor that can be releasably secured to one of the plurality of braces such that the removeable anchor is secured to the floor surface or the wall surface at a location of interest; a grab bar that is grasped by a user during an exercise motion; a fly wheel resistance device that opposes the exercise motion made by the user; and a strap with an end that is coupled to the fly wheel resistance device and with an end that is coupled to the grab bar.

An exercise machine is disclosed. The exercise machine comprises a tension generating device. The exercise machine comprises a translatable arm mount coupled to the tension generating device. The exercise machine comprises an arm coupled to the translatable arm mount. The exercise machine comprises a cable coupled to the tension generating device via the arm.
