Patent ID: 8267840

Claim:
An exercise apparatus comprising a tubular frame, the frame comprising: a raised front region comprising two parallel hand grips for completing a push-up or dip-style movement; the hand grips formed from a weight-bearing portion of the tubular frame; a removable platform configured for standing upon; the removable platform further configured for positioning between the parallel hand grips such that the hand grips project above the top surface of the platform when the platform is installed; and a horizontal rear support bar for completing a pull-up type movement; the rear support bar containing at least two suspended hand grips, the hand grips configured for sliding along the rear support bar; four pivot points on the tubular frame for selectively rotating portions of the tubular frame, wherein rotation of portions of the tubular frame around the four pivot points allows for reconfiguring the exercise apparatus into a substantially flat configuration without the need to otherwise rotate any portion of the exercise apparatus; wherein the removable platform contains two elongate openings on opposite ends of the platform, the elongate openings configured for placement over the parallel hand grips so as to be supported below the hand grips by the tubular frame of the exercise apparatus such that the platform can be removed by a lifting motion.
