Abstract

An exercise bench and an exercise tower. Both the bench and the tower have multi-apertured frames so that the respective parts thereof may be adjusted to a plurality of differing functional positions of adjustment and so that the interconnections between bench and tower may also be changed as desired. The bench includes a chair having a seat portion with a back portion hingedly connected thereto. The chair is supported by a carriage member that is slideably adjustable with respect to an elongate central frame member. The exercise tower includes a pair of upstanding frame members and a fixed position support unit that is secured to a wall or other support member to which the upstanding frame members may be secured in an upright position or in different inclined positions. Cables having their respective paths of travel defined by multi-position pulley members interconnect one or two handle members, as the exerciser may select, with weight members so that the exerciser may lift weights by pulling down on the handle or handles in many differing directions. Magnetic locking devices are provided for safety, and a removable bar extending between the upstanding frame members interconnects opposing weights when desired. The bench frame may also be used as a mini-tower, and the tower may be used without cables and pulleys for many exercises. Although the bench and tower may be used independently, they may be interconnected, and their parts exchanged, to provide many additional exercise configurations.
