The present invention is directed to a universal gym facility, comprising: a pair of vertical supporting pillars (11), each attachable to a flat vertical object; at least one training rod (12) horizontally attachable to the supporting pillars (11); and at least one securing facility (20), for securing the training rod (12) to one of the supporting pillars (11).

An item of sports equipment includes a guy line to which is applied a mechanical tension and which ensures the stability or the rigidity of the item of sports equipment. The sports equipment includes a measuring apparatus which is fastened to the guy line such that the guy line tension is applied to it, the measuring apparatus including a sensor adapted to deliver an electrical signal corresponding to representational information on the guy line tension. The measuring apparatus is fastened to the guy line all the time, making it possible to obtain representational information on the guy line tension at any instant.

The invention relates to an exercise bar intended for the practice of a physical exercise, having a main tube with two ends each equipped with a rod rotatably mounted through a setting system comprising a device for blocking the rotation of the rod relative to the main tube. The blocking device has a groove formed in the rod and a bushing equipped with a lug disposed within the groove. The blocking device has at least one notch formed longitudinally in the end of the main tube. The notch is arranged to receive the lug by translation of the bushing towards a position of blocking the rotation of the bushing relative to the tube.

A containerized fitness system for easy transportation and deployment. A shipping container includes a series of brackets mounted to the roof to provide receiving slots for accepting the flange of a series of corresponding support arms. The flange of each arm includes a pair of spring loaded pop pins that can extend through a pair of holes in the bracket when the flange of the arm is inserted into the slot of the bracket, and that can be manually release to allow for quick disconnection of the support art from the bracket. The other end of the arms may be connected to uprights positioned around the container to provide multiple attachment points for fitness equipment.

The present invention relates to fitness equipment. The equipment includes an attachment and a support including discrete formations. A latching pin is provided for latching with the formations to fasten the attachment to the support at different locations. Advantageously, the latching pin may lock the attachment in position without user interaction with the latching pin itself. The latching pin may be actuated by the user installing the attachment. The attachment may be installed less cumbersomely than the non-latching pin arrangement.

A vertical exercise device for triggering sympathetic and/or parasympathetic system responses comprising at least one foot support and a handlebar assembly. The foot support(s) may have a support surface configured to contact the entire ball of a user's foot during use, which may be inclined at an angle and substantially flat. The handlebar assembly may have at least an upper handle configuration and a lower handle configuration, and be adapted to keep a user's wrist within a safe range of motion during use. The positioning and orientation of foot support(s) and the handlebar assembly may each be independently adjustable in various aspects, such as horizontal and vertical displacement, rotation, tilt, angle, etc. The angle and depth of the support surface may each be independently adjustable. A horizontal vibration system may move one or more components of the device along the horizontal plane. Handlebars may have thumb plates to restrict grip.

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.

An outdoor exercise apparatus is configured to mount and dis-mount from a tree or like structure. These configurations may comprise a collapsible frame with members that can support hanging weight. A strap wraps around the tree to help secure the frame to the tree. In use, the frame and strap create a cantilevered weighting mechanism that secures the apparatus in position in lieu of end user intervention. The device is further arranged to transit between different positions on the tree without end use intervention as well.

The present invention provides for a gymnastics swing trainer. The device comprises two parallel side support members and two fixed rungs forming a rectangular frame. An adjustable rung may be positioned along the side support members to accommodate the size of the user. A gymnast grasps the adjustable rung while placing her feet on the lower fixed rung. The rungs should be spaced the proper distance apart to allow the gymnast to maintain the proper hollow body position required for uneven parallel bar skills. Repeated training with the device allows for the proper body position to become an automatic response or to be retained in “muscle memory” such that the gymnast can focus on the skill while maintaining proper position.

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.
