An exercise apparatus comprising:
- (a) a frame for supporting the exercise apparatus;
- the frame comprising a base and a first vertical support;
- the first vertical support having a flat front portion, and opposed first and second flat side portions;
- the flat front portion comprising a first column and the opposed first and second flat side portions comprising second and third columns respectively;
- (b) a central hub unit slidably mounted on the first column on the flat front portion of the first vertical support and being securable along the first column in any of a plurality of positions, including a position on the first column at a top portion of the first vertical support and a position on the first column at a bottom portion of the first vertical support;
- (c) first and second resistance units mounted on the respective second and third columns on the opposed first and second flat side portions of the first vertical support, respectively, and slidable along the second and third columns, respectively, from the bottom portion of the first vertical support toward the top portion of the first vertical support with the exertion of effort;
- and
- (d) means extending from the first and second resistance units, respectively, to a position proximal to the central hub unit for enabling a user to cause the first and second resistance units to slide along the second and third columns, respectively, from the bottom portion of the first vertical support toward the top portion of the first vertical support when the user pulls the means at the position proximal to the central hub unit.
