Abstract: A biomechanical optimization device is provided. There is an adjustable frame, a plurality of resistance bands and a motorless treadmill. One end of a resistance band attaches to a user and the other end anchors to the frame. This allows the user to engage with and move the belt of the motorless treadmill. By attaching resistance bands to various parts of the user's body and anchoring the resistance bands to the frame at various positions and angles, the user is able to focus on strengthening or rehabilitating certain muscle groups.

Abstract: A threaded weight bar and collar is provided. There is a weight bar with threaded ends and a handle portion, weight plates and a spring collar. The combination of a threaded bar and spring collar allows a user to both slide the spring collar in place for quick and easy placement and removal and rotate the spring collar around the threaded end to tighten the seal. Various combinations of weight bar lengths, weight plate configurations and spring collar shapes and sizes may be used according to a user's preference.

Abstract: A group exercise device is provided. The device has a top where a person exercising can obtain balance and positional support during the exercise routine. In addition, the exercise device provides different points of attachment for exercise units. The attachment points vary in vertical placement measured from the floor such that individuals of different builds and heights can jointly use the unit during either solo or group routines. The exercise device of the present invention promotes group interaction during an exercise routine by providing a stable attachment point for multiple users of exercise units, such as resistance bands, and a balance bar accessible in a communal fashion.

Abstract: A portable exercise bar is provided. The bar is particularly suited to individuals wishing to obtain balance and positional support during an exercise routine, especially routines involving the lifting and balancing of the user's legs. The bar is useful for practicing ballet and dance moves in temporary environments where there is a door that can be used for supporting the device. Thus, the bar is configured for secure, yet removeable, attachment to a common door. Further, the exercise bar of the present invention is lightweight and can be conveniently packed for modern travel needs.

Abstract: A configurable dumbbell is provided. The dumbbell is useful for both one-handed and two-handed workout exercises in a single device. The dumbbell can also be reconfigured into separate dumbbells that have both single-handed and double-handed advantages. The dumbbell can be used in single-handed, double-handed, rotational momentum, and non-rotational momentum exercises or any combination thereof.

Abstract: A modular exercise pole and anchoring system is provided. The present invention relates to an exercise pole with multiple vertical and horizontal attachment points for connecting resistance training devices, the pole being attached to a base having a base post that accepts a plurality of plate-type weights for anchoring. The exercise pole and anchoring system have application to resistance training for fitness, among other uses, while the anchoring system alone has application to a number of uses where convenient, removable anchoring is desired.
