Abstract
An adjustable pull-up device for use as part of a comprehensive fitness routine, including upper body and core strengthening, and balance training. The device transitions easily between traditional and modified fitness training exercises. The device includes a pair of support mechanisms and a bridge extending therebetween. The pair of support mechanisms each include at least one expandable leg. When the device is deployed, the legs selectively expand and contract for performing exercises, such as a pull-up, when the user lies between the legs. In an example embodiment, the device includes tripod legs for added stability of the device. In another example embodiment, the legs are pivotally coupled to the bridge to enable the collapsibility and storage of the device. The device can include a plurality of hooks for coupling supplementary fitness equipment to further enable variable forms of fitness training.
