Abstract
A rowing machine includes a frame where the frame includes a first support, a second support, and a beam extending between the first support and the second support. A track is defined by at least a portion of the beam, and a sliding member is movably disposed on the track. A hinge joint is disposed in the beam between the first support and the second support defining a first section of the beam and a second section of the beam.

A rowing machine, comprising:
- a frame, wherein the frame includes a first support, a second support, and a beam extending between the first support and the second support;
- a track defined by at least a portion of the beam;
- a sliding member movably disposed on the track;
- a hinge joint disposed in the beam between the first support and the second support defining a first section of the beam and a second section of the beam;
- and
- a leg connected to the beam adjacent to the hinge joint;
- wherein the first section of the beam is configured to pivot upwards such that the first section is over the hinge joint when the rowing machine is in a storage position and wherein the leg supports a weight of the upwardly pivoted first section and at least a portion of the second section.
