Compact fitness center for truck sleeper compartments

Abstract

A compact fitness system that provides many of the aspects and benefits of a weight training system that would be found in a gym, including stacked weights, pulleys, cables, hand grips, supporting structure, and a bench. The compact nature of the present fitness system is such that it can easily fit into the sleeper compartment of a modern over the road tractor trailer cab. The size of the various components is scaled back in order to constitute a system that can fit easily into a truck sleeper cab. Similar compact fitness systems can be tailored to fit into other vehicles and aircraft.
