Exercise apparatus and methods of storing same

A method of storing an exercise apparatus by moving the exercise apparatus from an apparatus use position into an apparatus storage position, comprising:

• releasing a mast relative to a frame and moving the mast from an upward, mast use position to a downward, mast storage position proximate the frame positioned on a support surface, wherein the mast is released by moving a mast spring plunger out of a mast aperture and then the mast is moved in an upward direction and then pivoted downward about a mast fastener extending through a mast slot in the mast;
• and
• releasing a post relative to the mast from a post use position to a post storage position, wherein after the post is released the post is moved outward and then pivoted proximate the mast and the frame.
