Exercise systems and methods

An exercise system comprising:

• an arm movement system comprising:
• a first handle guide comprising a central axis that extends between a first end and a second end of the first handle guide, wherein the first and second ends of the first handle guide are respectively fixed to an upper horizontal member and a lower horizontal member of a non-pivotable frame of the exercise system;
• a second handle guide, adjacent to the first handle guide, the second handle guide comprising a central axis that extends between a first end and a second end of the second handle guide, wherein the first and second ends of the second handle guide are respectively fixed to the upper and lower horizontal members of the non-pivotable frame, and wherein the central axes of the first handle guide and the second handle guide are parallel in a resting position;
• a first handle movably coupled to the first handle guide between the first and second ends of the first handle guide;
• and
• a second handle movably coupled to the second handle guide between the first and second ends of the second handle guide;
• and
• a torso movement system comprising:
• a rotatable platform having a rotational axis, wherein the rotatable platform is rotatable about the rotational axis thereof,
• wherein the first and second handle guides are mechanically decoupled from and spaced apart from the rotatable platform, wherein the central axis of each handle guide is parallel to the rotational axis of the rotatable platform, and the rotatable platform is disposed adjacent to the handle guides such that a user having the user's body supported by the rotatable platform can reach the handles with the user's hands.
