An exercise machine (2) includes side frame members (6). Electromagnetic brakes (62) supported on movable carriages (66) slide along side frame members (6). Carriage (66) includes a hinge (100) for allowing each brake (62) to pivot between multiple positions. Both types of motion allow the output shafts (64) on brakes (62) to be reoriented relative to a support bench (20) on which a user of machine (2) is located. Various exercise attachments may be coupled to brake shafts (64) for contacting various body members to perform different exercises. A controller (200) regulates the force levels of brakes (62).

An exercise machine for use with a user carried on a support means located above the ground, which comprises a frame which extends vertically upwardly between a lower end located at or below the level of the support means and an upper end located substantially above the support means, resistance means carried on the frame for exercising both sides of the body, wherein the resistance means includes two working axes each having means for coupling an exercise attachment thereto, wherein the working axes are transversely spaced apart sufficiently far so that opposed body members of a user located between the working axes can simultaneously contact the attachments coupled thereto to be capable of simultaneously exercising muscle groups on each side of the body, wherein each of the working axes is vertically movable on the frame between a lower position generally aligned with the plane of the support means an an upper position substantially above the plane of the support means and closer to the upper end of the frame to be capable of aligning the working axes with some of the major musculo-skeletal joints of the upper and lower portions of a user\s body, and wherein each of the working axes is pivotal relative to the frame to be capable of exercising muscles of body members which are affected when the body members pivot in different planes. An exercise machine which comprises a frame that includes two spaced side frame members between which a user may be located, wherein the side frame members extend vertically upwardly in an arcuate curve from front to back relative to the user, a resistance unit movably carried on each side frame member, wherein each resistance unit includes a rotatable shaft the rotation of which is opposed by a force, and wherein the resistance units are vertically movable sufficiently far along the arcuate curve of the side frame members for repositioning the shafts relative to the user for exercising muscle groups on both the upper and lower body of the user. An exercise machine for exercising both upper and lower body muscle groups, which comprises: (a) a frame including left and right side frame members which are transversely spaced apart in a side-to-side direction and which extend vertically upwardly between a lower end and an upper end located substantially above the ground, wherein the side frame members are further inclined relative to the vertical to span a particular longitudinal distance in a front-to-back direction as they extend upwardly: (b) a generally horizontal support means carried on the frame between the left and right side frame members at a vertical position between the upper and lower ends thereof, wherein the support means is longitudinally adjustable on the frame to adjust the position of the support means in the front-to-back direction relative to the side frame members; and (c) a resistance unit carried on each side frame member for exercising the adjacent side of the user\s body, wherein each resistance unit includes a working axis the rotation of which is opposed by a force, and wherein each working axis is vertically movable on its respective side frame member between a lower position generally aligned with the plane of the support means and an upper position substantially above the plane of the support means and closer to the upper end of the side frame member, whereby the working axes are capable of being aligned with some of the major musculo-skeletal joints of the upper and lower portions of the user\s body depending on their respective positions on the side frame members relative to the user\s position on the support means.
