Negativbank
Explanation:
Ich hatte auch gerade so eine Fitnessübersetzung, da war immer die Rede von Decline Benches, vielleicht ist das ja hier gemeint. Das sind Hantelbänke, auf denen man abwärts geneigt liegt, um den Rücken zu schonen. Wenn du mit decline bench oder negativbank nach bildern googelst, kannst du es dir mal anschauen.

crunch board [for reverse crunches]


Explanation:
It could be some kind of crunch board. It would definitely not be called a reversing board in English. Yes, Olaf, this may be so because the author is French.....

Wendelbrett


Explanation:
This is all I can think of for a board which, presumably, moves backwards and forwards Maybe it'll set you on the right track...

And BTW, I think you're a little unkind to the fro... - sorry, French writer (if it was one), because this is very likely exactly the right term in English.
