Benefits of technology

[0008]In another aspect of the present invention, both the pull up station and the dip station are configured so that the user is able to adjust the user interface devices—the handholds—both vertically and horizontally. Vertical adjustment allows the user to lower the handholds as the user becomes fatigued, even to the point where the user's feet are on the ground, yet still performing the exercise with the assistance of the user's legs. The horizontal adjustment allows the user to adjust the handholds to meet the best position for each individual, and to vary the muscle g

Embodiment Construction

[0024]Exercise apparatus 10 is shown in a first illustrated embodiment in FIG. 1. Each of the four exercise or training stations is described in detail below and each is arranged around a central supporting frame, identified generally with reference number 12. Relative directional terms used herein are based upon the geometric center of exercise apparatus 10 being the reference point, and with the exercise apparatus 10 oriented as it is shown in FIG. 1 on the floor, which defines the ground plane. Thus, the term “downward” refers to the direction toward the floor or ground plane on which the apparatus sits, and “upper” or “upwardly” refers to the opposite direction. The terms “outward” or “outer” are based on the reference point—that is, the geometric center of the apparatus. Thus, the term “outwardly” refers generally in the direction away from the reference point.

[0025]Support frame 12 defines a stable platform to which the exercise stations may be attached and around which the st...

Abstract

An exercise apparatus is designed specifically to provide a cross training apparatus for mixed martial arts training. The exercise apparatus combines separate training methodologies and apparatuses that are desirable for mixed martial arts training, then arranges each of those apparatuses into a desired spatial orientation at separate stations. Stations include a close combat station, two stations that are directed upper body strength training, and a core training station. Users of the apparatus go through an exercise routine at each station, then move immediately to the next station and go through a routine for that station. The exercise routines may be timed.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to exercise devices, and more specifically to an exercise apparatus that combines at least four different exercise stations, each configured for providing a different kind of physical activity, and arranges the exercise stations in proximity to one another so that users may go through a timed exercise routine with a focus on a different, specific activities or activities at each of the stations. Each station is adapted to provide specialized cross training uniquely suited for mixed martial arts performance.BACKGROUND[0002]There is a wide variety of different types of exercise equipment on the market and there is specialized exercise equipment that has been designed to facilitate a variety of exercise motions. To name just a couple of examples, treadmills allow a user to walk or run in place, simulating a striding motion. Stair climbing simulators allow a user to simulate the motion and physical activity that occurs when a person asc...
