Abstract

An exercise system includes a chassis comprising a first board, a second board having one or more linear rails running along a lengthwise dimension of the chassis, a sled platform configured to couple to the one or more linear rails in a sliding engagement, and a resistance band dock coupled between the first board and the second board. The exercise system further includes an exercise bar stand comprising a fixed standing platform, first and second leg bases including lateral stabilizers disposed on opposite sides of the fixed standing platform, and an exercise bar projecting vertically from the first and second leg bases and including a horizontal crossbar portion.

Claims (24)

1 . An exercise system comprising:

a chassis comprising:

a first board;

a second board having one or more linear rails running along a lengthwise dimension of the chassis;

a sled platform configured to couple to the one or more linear rails in a sliding engagement; and

a resistance band dock coupled to and between adjacent sides of the first board and the second board;

wherein the first and second boards have substantially equivalent dimensions; and

an exercise bar stand comprising:

a fixed standing platform;

first and second leg bases respectively including first and second lateral stabilizers disposed on opposite sides of the fixed standing platform; and

an exercise bar projecting vertically from the first and second leg bases and including a horizontal crossbar portion.

2 . The exercise system of claim 1 , further comprising one or more handlebars emanating from the exercise bar and extending in a dimension perpendicular to the horizontal crossbar portion of the exercise bar.

3 . The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein vertical portions of the exercise bar have one or more handle docks associated therewith.

4 . The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second lateral stabilizers have horizontally-oriented bar docks configured to hold the exercise bar in a horizontal orientation.

5 . The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein the exercise bar stand comprises a raised foot stopper disposed proximal to at least a portion of the fixed standing platform.

6 . The exercise system of claim 5 , wherein the raised foot stopper extends between the first and second leg bases.

7 . The exercise system of claim 6 , wherein the raised foot stopper is in an integrated form with the first and second leg bases.

8 . The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein the fixed standing platform includes:

a first standing area on a first longitudinal side of the exercise bar; and

a second standing area on a second longitudinal side of the exercise bar.

9 . The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein, when the exercise bar is positioned in a standing position on a ground surface, the first and second leg bases hold the fixed standing platform in an elevated position above the ground surface.

10 . The exercise system of claim 9 , wherein the first board is configured to be slidable at least partially under at least a portion of the fixed standing platform, such that a first portion of the first board is disposed in a space between the fixed standing platform and the ground surface and between the first and second leg bases.

11 . The exercise system of claim 10 , wherein when the first portion of the first board is positioned in the space, a second portion of the first board is exposed.

12 . The exercise system of claim 11 , wherein the second portion of the first board includes an exercise handle dock for coupling with an exercise handle.
