Abstract
The invention is an exercise apparatus 99 capable of providing a full body workout and collapsible to a storage configuration that occupies relatively little space. A disc brake resistance device 40 provides a system of positive/positive resistance against rotational movement that feels smooth and is safe in operation. The opposing force and relative location of the resistance device 40 can be adjusted to adapt the apparatus 99 to persons of different sizes and exercises of different types. The attachments 80 and 90 facilitate numerous exercises involving various muscles of a person's body.
