Exercise apparatus

Abstract

An exercise apparatus (1), comprising: a box-shaped element (2) configured to be transported on lorries and provided with a lower wall (3), an upper wall (4) and a lateral wall (5) which together form an inner space (6), with said lateral wall (5) having a plurality of faces (F1, F2, F3, F4) and comprising, on at least one of the faces (F1, F2, F3, F4), at least one portion (7) which is movable between a closed position (C), in which it forms a configuration (B) which minimises the dimensions of the box-shaped element (2), and an open position (A), in which the movable portion (7) projects towards the outside (8) of the box-shaped element (2) and forms an opening (9) in the lateral wall (5) designed to put the inner space (6) in communication with an outside environment (8); at least one exercise machine (10) to allow a user (35) to exercise, said exercise machine (10) being designed to occupy the inner space (6) of the box-shaped element (2) at least while in the configuration (B) of minimum dimensions; means (11) for generating electrical power which can be used for supplying electrical loads of said box-shaped element (2).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention has as its subject an exercise apparatus.[0002]Environments are known, for example gymnasiums, where a plurality of exercise machines are arranged to allow users to exercise.[0003]These environments are usually closed environments provided with windows and / or air conditioning systems to allow ventilation.[0004]A need particularly long-felt by users of exercise machines during the summer season is to be able to exercise in the open air.[0005]In the light of this the environment of the gymnasium is perceived in the summer months as a closed and unnatural environment.[0006]Another need long-felt by users of exercise machines is to be able to train on exercise machines without necessarily having to go to a gymnasium.[0007]As is well-known, in fact, a user does not always have a gymnasium available in the vicinity of their dwelling; the necessity of having to go to the gymnasium is perceived by such users as an inconvenience.[0008]Ho...

Benefits of technology

[0011]An object of the present invention is to make available an exercise apparatus which makes it possible to satisfy the need previously expressed.

Problems solved by technology

As is well-known, in fact, a user does not always have a gymnasium available in the vicinity of their dwelling; the necessity of having to go to the gymnasium is perceived by such users as an inconvenience.

However, this need is hard to reconcile with the limited spaces normally available inside dwellings, which in the light of this do not make it possible to house one or more exercise machines, and with the purchase costs of one or more exercise machines for strictly personal use.

However, said trailer is disadvantageous, being scarcely ecological and autonomous, since it requires the presence of a motor vehicle coupled thereto, in order to have an energy source.
