Abstract
A system for controlling the tension in an exercise apparatus includes a plurality of connectors that are collectively attached to a holder, the holder being movable relative to a fixed support, each connector further comprising a catch for independent attachment to a tension member from an exercise apparatus. Different combinations of tension members can be attached to the connectors with an electronic control system to create a desired tension arrangement, while the holder including all of the connectors can be moved to further fine tune the tension arrangement of the tension members.
