A resistance system for fitness equipment includes a frame, a resistance source such as an elastic cord, coil or any other type of spring, weight, pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. The resistance source is mounted to a resistance block with a load support. A support disk is provided that is movably mounted to the frame and adapted to enable selective engagement with the load support. A transmission member, including a pliable member such as a cable, belt or other member, is coupled to the resistance source. Movement of the support disk enables selective engagement of the resistance source. In this way one or more individual resistance sources can be selectively engaged or disengaged to vary the resistance to the user by actuation of a dial or other actuator as directed by the user.

What is claimed is: 1. A resistance system for fitness equipment, comprising:a frame;plural resistance blocks;plural resistance devices coupled to the plural resistance blocks;an engagement mechanism including a plurality of support disks on a common shaft rotatably mounted for selective direct engagement with specific resistance blocks of the plural resistance blocks;a carriage coupled to the plural resistance devices and moveable relative to the frame;a recoil bar adapted to support resistance blocks not engaged with the engagement mechanism when the carriage is displaced from a resting position; anda user interface member coupled to the carriage, whereby movement of the carriage is resisted by resistance devices that are selectively and non-sequentially engaged by the engagement mechanism.
