Hitch trainer

Abstract

There is provided a hitch trainer. The hitch trainer may include a base member that can be removably connected to a trailer hitch or wall mounted receptacle, and a top member with an integrated pull-up bar. The vertical length of the shaft of the hitch trainer may be extended by the insertion of one or more mid-members. Pairs of band pegs may be attached to either side of each of the base, top and mid-members, allowing the hitch trainer to anchor exercise bands for use in resistance training. The integrated pull-up bar may be used for body weight exercises such as pull-ups or dips. As the top, base, and mid-members are slidably attached to one another, they can be unattached such that the entire hitch trainer can be stored in a compact manner.

         1 . A hitch trainer for a hitch, comprising:
 a base member configured to be received by a receiver of the hitch, said base member comprising:
