Patent number: 11794064Abstract: An exercise machine reversible resistance system for reversing the directional force of resistance against an exercise implement before, during, or after the performance of a routine of one or more exercises. The exercise machine reversible resistance system generally includes a frame, an elongated member movably positioned upon the frame, wherein the elongated member has a first run and a second run, a resistance device that applies a resistance force to the elongated member in a single direction, an exercise implement movably connected to the frame and a clutch connected to the exercise implement. The clutch is adapted to selectively engage the first run or the second run of the elongated member for selective control of the resistance direction of the exercise implement.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Lagree Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sebastien Anthony Louis Lagree, Matthew O'Brien, William Balzer
