An exercise machine has a main frame and a user support movably mounted relative to the main frame for movement between a start position and an end position during an exercise. At least one user engagement device is movably mounted relative to the main frame for engagement and actuation by a user during an exercise, and a connecting linkage translates movement of the user engagement device to movement of the user support. A lifting arm is movably mounted relative to the main frame and associated with at least one of the user support, user engagement device, and connecting linkage so as to move during an exercise. A load associated with the lifting arm provides exercise resistance.

A functional training rig kit includes a box and a plurality of components adapted to fit within the box. At least some of the components and the box include elements by which the components are adapted to be attached to the outside of the box to provide at least one functional training rig attached to the outside of the box.

A universal gym exhibits improved versatility employing a frame supporting a weight stack connected via cable to an exercise attachment point, which further engages a floating pulley with an extension cable. Accessory receiving ports throughout the frame allow placement of the floating pulley virtually anywhere the athlete desires, affording a vast array of exercises employing the weight stack. Free weights, elastic bands, and the weight stack, alone or in combination, can provide a diverse resistance. Decorative panels, optionally mounted with hollow-headed bolts each having an axial recess for receiving and retaining a panel-mounting rivet, can disguise the universal gym when not in use.

A versatile exercise apparatus includes a central foundation frame and two arched bars. The frame comprises two generally parallel lateral cross bars, two generally parallel longitudinal bars, and two partial circular bars attached to four 4-way joints. The two arched bars are also attached at the four 4-way joints and extend perpendicularly from the frame. In some aspects of the invention, the frame elements and two arched bars are attachable and detachable, allowing the formation of two modules. In this aspect the modules may be attached in corresponding or opposing orientations. This permits manual modification of the exercise device, thereby increasing the number of exercises, balance techniques, and stretches that can be performed with the exercise apparatus.

A weight arm assembly for use with a weight lifting rack is provided, the weight arm assembly including a mounting bracket configured to be attached to a vertical surface in a fixed position, an arm mount configured to be coupled to the mounting bracket so as to be pivotable about a first axis, a stop member coupled to the arm mount and configured to move between an engaged position to prevent pivoting of the arm mount through interaction with the mounting bracket, and a disengaged position to allow pivoting of the arm mount, and a weight arm configured to be coupled to the arm mount, proximate a first end of the weight arm, so as to be pivotable about a second axis substantially orthogonal to the first axis.

A system, method, and apparatus for providing an abdominal exercise cycling apparatus is provided having a body support apparatus, secured to a base apparatus using fasteners, an adjustable lumbar support pad, secured to the base apparatus using a fastener; an anti-slip component, having a friction textured surface configured to interlock with the lower surface of the base apparatus; a stabilizing member, an adjustable member capable of affixing the frame portion in at least one fixed position when the adjustable member is inserted in an aperture comprising a supporting member, the supporting member, providing load bearing support when in the at least one fixed position; a housing covering, a display, having a user interface capable of displaying real-time readings, set in the housing; a resistance apparatus having a contactless eddy brake unit whereby the resistance apparatus utilizing the contactless eddy brake unit to create progressively increasing resistance as speed increases.

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.

An exercise accessory may be a component of a leg lift exercise system assembly. The exercise accessory may be useful for a user to hold themselves up by the arms to perform leg lifts, among other exercises. The accessory has an angular adjuster to allow a user to adjust the positioning of his or her forearms during the exercise. The angular adjuster has a cage which can attach to and suspend from an overhead bar, and an apertured base having radial tines. An indexer may be able to rotatably index to and rest within the radial tines. Rotating the indexer when tension is not applied to the system allows the user to adjust angular positioning. From the indexer and through the aperture an arm support is suspended.

An exercise machine is for performing a striding exercise motion. The exercise machine has frame; first and second pedal members; first and second foot pads on the first and second pedal members, respectively, each of the first and second foot pads being configured to move in an elliptical path during the striding exercise motion; first and second rocker arms pivotally coupled to the frame; and first and second adjustment devices configured to actively adjust and set a position of the first and second pedal members relative to the first and second rocker arms, respectively, which thereby changes a shape of the elliptical path.

An exercise device (200) which a user (220) communicates with a base unit (260) whose shape comprises of a first arm projection (340) that ends with a first end (380) located along a radiating line from the base unit (260), and comprises of a second arm projection (440) that ends with a second end (420) ending somewhat away from the base unit (260) in a shape that contacts the user's head, whereby upon the urging of the user of the first end (380) produces at the second end (420) a force onto the user when the second end (420) is at least in contact with the user's head.
