Abstract: Ankle band 1 for guiding a line of a fitness apparatus. The ankle band comprises a fastener 2, a base element 3 and a guidance element for guiding the line of the fitness apparatus. The guidance element 4 is connected by a linkage member 5 to obtain a movable connection from an initial position to a working position in case that a force is exerted via the line. A resilient member 51 is provided to generate a spring force when the linkage member 5 is moved away from its initial position. The resilient member 51 returns the guidance element 4 back from the working position to the initial position in case that an exerted force reduces. The predetermined initial position is advantageous when attaching the line of the fitness apparatus to the device. The line can be connected to the device by using just a single hand.

Abstract: Portable mobile fitness apparatus for the performance of a training exercise by a person. The fitness apparatus has a disc-shaped resistance apparatus having a winding device inside a housing. With the winding device, a line can be wound onto a winding element. The winding device is coupled by means of a one-way bearing to a resistance unit, wherein the resistance unit serves to generate a training resistance. As a result of the one-way bearing, the winding element has a freewheel in a first rotational direction and the winding element meets a resistance in an opposite, second rotational direction corresponding to the unwinding of the winding element.
