The invention is a collapsible exercise machine that is transportable in a container and includes a load-regulating hydraulic cylinder. The machine according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a frame having a column formed of elements that can be folded onto a base for carriage and two detachable legs arranged on opposite sides of the frame and on which are adjustably mounted two benches for accommodating a user, one of the foldable elements being formed of a housing containing a translation system and the load-regulating hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder comprises a piston provided with a rod connected by a first bar to sliding rods themselves connected to a second bar on which is wound via a case a strap connected by transmission members to exercise members actuated by the user. The exercise machine according to the invention can be easily collapsed and transported, especially in a container the shape of which closely matches that of the exercise machine in its collapsed position and that best approximates the aerodynamic characteristics necessary for carriage on all automobile roof racks.

An exercise machine adapted to be actuated by a user, comprising a frame including a base, legs mounted on said base and a column connected to and extending upwardly from said base, said column including a housing and a variable load-regulating hydraulic cylinder fixedly mounted in said housing, said cylinder including a piston slidably received within said cylinder and a piston rod attached to said piston and extending outwardly from said cylinder; at least one bench mounted to said frame so as to accommodate the user; at least one exercise member pivotally mounted to said frame such that its angle of inclination relative to the vertical is variable, whereby the user can pivot said at least one exercise member from a rest position in which said at least one exercise member forms a predetermined angle of inclination with respect to the vertical; and translation means movable relative to said housing for interconnecting said at least one exercise member to said piston rod such that the pivotal movement of said at least one exercise member from said rest position causes the conjoint movement of said piston rod into said cylinder, whereby a force exerted on said at least one exercise member by the user during its pivotal movement is counteracted by a force exerted on said piston from within said cylinder, said translation means including a strap connected to said at least one exercise member and strap adjustment means for varying the length of said strap and for releasably locking said strap at a predetermined length to thereby adjust said angle of inclination of said at least one exercise member when at said rest position.
