For example, muscular strengthening exercises for the torso as well as for arms, but also legs, can be performed by means of such a weight bench or by means of such a fitness equipment, respectively, in particular using one's own body weight.


It goes without saying that further equipment, such as, for example, weights, dumbbells, etc., can also be combined with the fitness equipment according to the invention.


Such fitness equipment, referred to as “table gym”, is known from U.S. Pat. No. 9,370,678 B2.


As stated, the mentioned U.S. publication discloses a “table gym” comprising a bench or a weight bench (“bench 40”), respectively, which is supported by a support frame, which is fastened to a so-called “upright standard 30” in various positions.


While the bench permits exercises while sitting or lying, the “upright standard 30”, with its so-called “pull-up bar part 35”, permits a user to do pull-ups.


The construction of U.S. Pat. No. 9,370,678 B2, consisting of a weight bench and the “upright standard”, must be embodied in a stable manner and thus has a relatively high dead weight. Sufficiently stable materials, which increase the production costs, are used for a stable embodiment, in particular in the fitness area.


A weight bench of this type can also be transferred into a more space-saving state or into a training state, respectively, only by means of time-consuming conversions or fold-down or collapsing, respectively.


It is thus the object of the present invention to specify a fitness equipment, in particular a weight bench, which can be produced in a more cost-efficient and more material-saving manner compared to the prior art, and which preferably prevents a cumbersome assembly and disassembly for a training or after or before the training, respectively.


This object is solved according to the invention by means of the features of the independent claim. Further advantageous embodiments are subject of the subclaims.
