A chest exercise machine includes: a resistance element; a user support coupled to the resistance element; a first movement element coupled to the user support; and a second movement element coupled to the user support. A chest press machine includes: a cable resistance element adapted to allow for a resistance path that is at least partly defined by a user; a user support adapted to move along a movement path as a chest press is performed; and a load including a set of plates that may be selectively coupled to the cable resistance element. A pectoral fly machine includes: a cable resistance element adapted to allow for a resistance path that is at least partly defined by a user; a user support adapted to move along a movement path as a pectoral fly is performed; and a load including a set of plates.

Functional training equipment with multiple movement planes used for press exercises

A gym system is described. The gym system includes multiple vertical support members, each support member comprising a set of locking receptacles, and a moveable bar catch having a tubular body adapted to slide along at least one vertical support member, and a pivoting locking feature comprising a protuberance adapted to engage a particular locking receptacle from among the set of locking receptacles. A bar catch including a tubular body adapted to be able to be positioned along a support member of a weightlifting support apparatus is also described. The bar catch includes a solid hook adapted to support a weightlifting bar and to pivot at one end, allowing the solid hook to be placed in a moveable first position and a locked second position, a safety support adapted to provide support to the solid hook and the weightlifting bar, and a handle coupled to the tubular body.
