An exercise apparatus as described and includes a support, a lever arm pivotally mounted to the support adjacent a first lever end. An exercise fitting, such as handle bars and other linkages, are placed adjacent a second end of the lever arm for allowing pivoting of the lever arm. Weights are movable along the lever arm a distance between the first and second ends and such that the movement has a horizontal component with respect to the support. A motor is provided for moving the weights.

Weight biased exercise apparatus for exercising various muscle groups in the body of an apparatus user placed in a selected exercise position adjacent the apparatus, the apparatus comprising: a foundation frame, an elongate main lever pivotally connected at one end thereof to the frame and connectable at an opposite end thereof to selected devices via which a user can apply force to the lever to move the lever between spaced ends of a range of lever motion, a weight carriage on the lever moveable along a selected portion of the elongate extent of the lever for receiving and carrying a weight of selected magnitude, the carriage and the lever being cooperatively defined so that the carriage is biased by gravity to move in one direction along the lever throughout motion of the lever within said range, and a user-controllable mechanism operable at the will of a user for moving the carriage along the lever.
