Exercise apparatus

An exercise apparatus for assisting a user with a range of exercises, the exercise apparatus comprising:

• a frame comprising a first section extending in a generally horizontal direction;
• a first carriage and a second carriage located between a first end of the frame and the first carriage, wherein the first carriage and second carriage are configured to support a user, and wherein the first carriage and second carriage are slidably supported on the first section of the frame;
• a first resistance system comprising:
• a first resilient member removably connected to at least one of the first carriage, the second carriage and the frame;
• wherein displacement of the first carriage or second carriage relative to the frame exerts a tensile force on the resilient member;
• and
• a second resistance system comprising:
• a load moveably mounted with respect to the frame;
• and
• an actuation member connected to the load;
• wherein the actuation member is configured to displace the load when a force exerted by the user on the actuation member exceeds a predetermined threshold representative of the load.

An exercise apparatus for assisting a user with a range of exercises, the exercise apparatus comprising:

• a frame comprising a first section extending in a generally horizontal direction;
• at least one carriage configured to support a user, wherein the carriage is slidably supported on the first section of the frame;
• a first resistance system comprising:
• a first resilient member removably connected to at least one of the carriage and the frame;
• wherein displacement of the carriage relative to the frame exerts a tensile force on the resilient member;
• and
• a second resistance system comprising:
• a plurality of weighted members, wherein at least one of the plurality of weighted member is moveably mounted to the frame;
• and
• an actuation member connected to at least one of the plurality of weighted members;
• wherein the actuation member is configured to displace at least one of the plurality of weighted members when a force exerted by the user on the actuation member exceeds a predetermined threshold representative of a load.
