Abstract: The invention concerns exercise apparatus having a weight source (18) operably connected to a plurality of manual actuators (28, 32) by a cable and pulley system. The cable and pulley system (12) has a plurality of pulley wheels (16), a supporting frame (10) for the weight source (18) and pulley wheels (16), and a cable (22) defining a force path from the weight source (18) over the pulley wheels (16). The pulley wheels (16) and frame (10) are provided in a common plane with the weight source (18) at least when the exercise apparatus is not in use. The manual actuators (28, 32) are provided at spaced locations along the path defined by the cable (22) and are actuatable in a direction away from the common plane when in use. The frame (10) may supported in an upright orientation for use by a support structure, e.g. a wall, and may occupy a minimal space/depth.

Abstract: The invention concerns a modular exercise system having a first support frame module having a plurality of frame members, each member being joined to an adjacent frame member and oriented in a common plane such that the first support frame is two-dimensional in form. The modular exercise system further requires a weight source mounted on the first support frame, a plurality of pulleys mounted to different frame members of the first support frame, and a cable running from the weight source over the pulleys to connect the weight source to one or more manual actuator for performing a resistance exercise in use. The first support frame has one or more attachment formation for selective attachment to one or more further support frame module. The further support frame module is also two-dimensional in form and attachable to the first support frame in an orientation within the common plane, wherein the further support frame module has one or more further manual actuator.
