A horse-riding machine with rowing function includes a driven assembly hinged with a base assembly, one end of a moment arm is hinged with the driven assembly; an armrest of the driving assembly is provided at top of the main body rod, and the footrests are provided at a bottom of the main body rod. The bottom of the paddle rod is connected with the bottom of the main body rod, and the middle of the main body rod is hinged with the other end of the moment arm; when the driving assembly swings, the driven assembly is driven by the driving arm to swing back and forth through the moment arm; one end of the elastic rope is connected to the driven assembly, and the other end of the elastic rope is detachably fixed on the base assembly. When the driven assembly swings, the elastic rope is elastically stretched.

An exercise machine resistance adjustment system for providing an exerciser the ability to immediately adjust the resistance force by changing their body position on the movable carriage or end platforms. The exercise machine resistance adjustment system generally includes a frame, a carriage movably positioned on the frame, a spring connected to the carriage to apply a biasing force to the carriage, one or more left projections within the carriage adapted for a left hand of an exerciser to grasp, and one or more right projections within the carriage adapted for a right hand of an exerciser to grasp. The exerciser is able to efficiently adjust the amount of resistance force applied to the carriage by repositioning their hands (or feet) from a first set of projections at a first distance to a second set of projections at a second distance from the first end of the exercise machine.

Disclosed herein is an exercise machine that includes an elongated frame having a head end and a foot end, and a moveable carriage slidably coupled to the elongated frame and moveable between the head end and the foot end, the moveable carriage having a spring bracket coupled to an underside of the moveable carriage. The exercise machine also includes a spring support rod slideably coupled with the elongated frame and disposed adjacent the foot end, and selectively positionable with reference to the foot end by a handle that extends from an interior area of the elongated frame to an exterior area of the elongated frame. The exercise machine also includes at least one resistive member coupled at a first end with the spring support rod and at a second end with the spring bracket, and configured to bias the moveable carriage towards the foot end of the elongated frame.

A supporting device for users of a Pilates exercise machine to maintain the user at an inclined angle upon the platform or carriage of the exercise machine during use. The supporting device features a body having a bottom adapted for positioning on the moving or stationary carriage of the Pilates machine and an inclining top surface to support the body of the user inclined. A first and second side space formed on opposing sides of a narrowed portion of said top surface provide respective spaces for positioning of the arms of the user therein.

A reformer may include a frame extending between a first end portion and a second end portion. The reformer may also include a carriage slidably coupled to the frame, where the carriage is movable along a length of the frame. The carriage is configured to be selectively and releasably coupled to the first end portion of the frame, and selectively and releasably coupled to the second end portion of the frame.

An exercise machine tension device securing system for safely and efficiently securing selectable biasing members to an exercise machine. The exercise machine tension device securing system generally includes an exercise machine including a frame and a carriage movably positioned on the frame. A plurality of tension devices may be connected to the frame at one end; with the other end being removably connected to the carriage by a selection device. The selection device may include a plurality of slots for removably receiving one or more of the tension devices to secure the tension devices selectively to the carriage. A securing member movably connected to the selection device includes projections adapted to selectively enclose the slots so as to secure the tension devices within the slots of the selection device.

A pilates reformer machine has a frame with a longitudinal central extruded spine (2) extending between a first support member (4a, 4b) and a second support member (6a, 6b), a carriage (8) supporting a platform (9) moveable along the spine, at least one retention spring housed within the spine and attached to the carriage, the at least one retention spring being selectively attachable to the frame by buttons (12), the carriage being provided with sides that wrap around sides of the spine and engage with an underneath of the spine, the carriage further including a plurality of wheels receivable within tracks formed within the central spine. A leg exerciser (30) and foot bar (20) may be included in the machine.

The exercise machine tension device securing system generally includes an exercise machine including a frame and a carriage movably positioned on the frame. A plurality of tension devices may be connected to the frame at one end; with the other end being removably connected to the carriage by a selection device. The selection device may include a plurality of slots for removably receiving one or more of the tension devices to secure the tension devices selectively to the carriage. A securing member movably connected to the selection device includes projections adapted to selectively enclose the slots so as to secure the tension devices within the slots of the selection device.

An improved exercise machine has a stationary longitudinal monorail structure that extends between front and back end stationary exercise platforms, and an exercise platform mounted on a levitated carriage that is reciprocally movable along the monorail between the stationary platforms. Magnetic elements arranged on various opposing surfaces of the carriage and monorail generate magnetic forces that levitate and stabilize the carriage as it moves relative to the monorail thus substantially eliminating contact friction. Springs selectively attachable to the movable platform provide a resistance force for exercising. Pseudo-levitation and eddy brake elements on the carriage and monorail structure further stabilize the carriage and platform.

Disclosed herein is an exercise machine that includes an elongated frame having a head end and a foot end, and a moveable carriage slidably coupled to the elongated frame and moveable between the head end and the foot end, the moveable carriage having a spring bracket coupled to an underside of the moveable carriage. The exercise machine also includes a spring support rod slideably coupled with the elongated frame and disposed adjacent the foot end, and selectively positionable with reference to the foot end by a handle that extends from an interior area of the elongated frame to an exterior area of the elongated frame. The exercise machine also includes at least one resistive member coupled at a first end with the spring support rod and at a second end with the spring bracket, and configured to bias the moveable carriage towards the foot end of the elongated frame.
