Abstract
A foldable exercise bench is pivotally mounted on a stationary frame; for movement between a retracted, generally upright storage position and at least one deployed position for supporting a person during exercise. A support foot located adjacent one end of the bench is pivotally mounted for rotation between a first, storage position extending generally alongside the bench when the bench is in the upright, storage position, and a second, support position in which the support foot extends forwardly at an angle to the bench and engages the floor to support the bench in the deployed position. A pivotal linkage between the support foot and frame automatically pivots the support foot from the second position to the first, storage position when the bench is moved into the upright, storage position.
