Abstract
A multi-station exercise machine has a movable subframe on which a user sits while performing various exercises. The subframe is movably coupled to a stationary frame and is supported by a lever arm that is pivotally attached to the stationary frame. A cable and pulley system couples the lever arm to the various operable members of the apparatus so that a selectable ratio of the weight of the subframe, including the user, is communicated as exercise resistance. The main structural member of the subframe may be disconnected so that the upper portion of the subframe may be folded down for convenient shipping and/or storage of the apparatus.
