  • FIG. 1 illustrates a front view of a compact exercise apparatus, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS
  • Various aspects of the illustrative embodiments will be described using terms commonly employed by those skilled in the art to convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced with only some of the described aspects. For purposes of explanation, specific numbers, materials and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the illustrative embodiments. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without the specific details. In other instances, well-known features are omitted or simplified in order not to obscure the illustrative embodiments.
  • Various operations will be described as multiple discrete operations, in turn, in a manner that is most helpful in understanding the present invention. However, the order of description should not be construed as to imply that these operations are necessarily order dependent. In particular, these operations need not be performed in the order of presentation.
  • The phrase “in one embodiment” is utilized repeatedly. The phrase generally does not refer to the same embodiment, however, it may. The terms “comprising”, “having” and “including” are synonymous, unless the context dictates otherwise.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a front view of a compact exercise apparatus 100, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • The compact exercise apparatus 100 includes a foundation station frame 110, a pull down bar 120, a press bar 130, a plurality of spotters 140, a folding bench 150, an adjustable leg press and calf raise 160, a plurality of seated rows 170, a roller system 180 and a pair of cables 190.
  • The foundation station frame 110 has a front 112, a lower portion 114, a rear 116 and has a linear vertical frame 118 that supports the compact exercise apparatus 100. The pull down bar 120 is positioned in the front 112 of the foundation station frame 110 and is utilized to perform one or more suitable pull down type exercises. The press bar 130 is positioned in the front 112 and lower portion 114 of the foundation station frame 110 and is utilized to perform one or more bench press and military press exercises or other suitable exercises. The spotters 140 are disposed on the front 112 of the foundation station frame 110. The spotters 140 are horizontally correspondingly aligned in a straight linear plane so a user can place the press bar 130 on the spotters 140 if the user is unable to complete an exercise with the press bar 130 or to simply rest the press bar 130 on the spotters 140 after utilizing the press bar. The folding bench 150 can be folded toward the foundation station frame 110 when desired to allow relatively more compact and easier storage of the compact exercise apparatus 100. The adjustable leg press and calf raise 160 has a distal end 162 that extends horizontally to allow a user to perform a leg press or other suitable exercise. The seated rows 170 are disposed on the distal end 162 of the adjustable leg press and calf raise 160 to stabilize the foundation station frame 110. The adjustable leg press and calf raise 160 and the seated rows 170 can also be folded forward toward the foundation station frame 110 when desired to allow for relatively more compact and easier storage of the compact exercise apparatus 100. The roller system 180 is disposed on the lower portion 114 and the rear 116 of the foundation station frame 110 and allows the user to add additional weight typically in the form of one or more barbell plates of any suitable weight to add resistance to the pull down bar 120, the press bar 130 and the adjustable leg press and calf raise 160. The pair of cables 190 is attached to the pull down bar 120 and the adjustable leg press and calf raise 160 and apply resistance to the pull down bar 120 and the adjustable leg press and calf raise 160. The pair of cables 190 is made of steel cable, plastic coated steel cable or any other suitable material. The compact exercise apparatus 100 is also made of metal or other suitable material.
  • The compact exercise apparatus is a compact multi-option exercise system that introduces a suitable alternative to developing muscle resistance. Made from relatively sturdy materials such as metal, the compact exercise apparatus includes a foundational station possessing a plurality of intricate attachments and adjustable parts, such as a folding bench, a press bar, a plurality of weights and a positioned back-up spotter. Serving as a total gym apparatus, that is approximately 28 inches in width and 77 inches in height, with a varying length of approximately 67 inches when in use and approximately 33 inches in length when folded-up for storage, the compact exercise apparatus allows a user to perform proper muscle extensions, leg presses, pull-downs and other isolating muscle exercises that can result in regulating body fat and muscle while improving the user's overall health. The compact exercise apparatus is relatively compact enough for at-home use while providing effective machinery design that supports individual alignment during exercises. The feature of an adjustable exercise station, capable of adapting to a plurality of traditional body strengthening movements, affords novices and hardcore fitness enthusiasts with a functional apparatus for performing a wide range of suitable work-outs.
  • While the present invention has been related in terms of the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described. The present invention can be practiced with modification and alteration within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Thus, the description is to be regarded as illustrative instead of restrictive on the present invention.
