Disclosed herein are various embodiments of an exercise apparatus. In certain embodiments, an exercise apparatus comprises an exercise station coupled to a resistance system, the exercise station comprising a frame, an arm assembly, and a seat assembly comprising a seat, the seat having a first position and a second position and configured to move between the first and second positions, wherein the first position accommodates use of the exercise apparatus by a user sitting on the seat and wherein the second position accommodates use of the exercise apparatus by a user sitting in a wheelchair. In some embodiments, the seat assembly may comprise a biasing element which allows users to move the seat from the first position to the second position without needing to lift the seat.

1. An exercise apparatus comprising: a resistance system coupled to an exercise station, the exercise station comprising: a cantilever frame;an arm assembly;a seat assembly comprising a seat having a first position and a second position, wherein the first position accommodates use of the exercise station by a user sitting on the seat and wherein the second position accommodates use of the exercise station by a user seated in a wheelchair, and wherein the seat is configured to move between the first position and the second position;a stop adapted to engage a surface and inhibit movement of the seat while a user performs an exercise with the seat in the first position; anda biasing element that is biased to disengage the stop. 2. The exercise apparatus of claim 1, wherein the cantilever frame comprises a back support structure configured to permit, with the seat in the second position, a seat of a wheelchair to be in the approximate location of the seat in the first position. 3. The exercise apparatus of claim 2, wherein the back support structure is raised sufficiently to allow components rearward of the seat of the electric wheelchair to extend below the back support structure. 4. The exercise apparatus of claim 1, wherein the seat assembly is pivotably attached to the frame. 5. The exercise apparatus of claim 4, wherein the frame comprises a retaining element and the stop frictionally engages the retaining element. 6. The exercise apparatus of claim 5, wherein the biasing element has a vertical bias that raises and disengages the stop when no downward force is exerted on the seat and lowers and engages the stop when the seat is in the first position and a user sits on the seat. 7. The exercise apparatus of claim 6, wherein the seat is moveable between the first and second positions without any vertical lifting force. 8. The exercise apparatus of claim 7, wherein the stop further comprises a vertical portion. 9. The exercise apparatus of claim 8, wherein the biasing element is a spring. 10. An exercise apparatus comprising: a resistance system coupled to an exercise station, the exercise station comprising: a cantilever frame;an arm assembly; anda seat assembly pivotably coupled to the frame comprising: a seat having a first position and a second position, wherein the first position accommodates use of the exercise station by a user sitting on the seat and wherein the second position accommodates use of the exercise station by a user seated in a wheelchair, and wherein the seat is configured to move between the first position and the second position;a stop adapted to inhibit movement of the seat by engaging a surface; anda biasing element that is biased to disengage the stop from the surface when the seat is in the first position and no force is exerted on the seat. 11. The exercise apparatus of claim 10, wherein the arm assembly comprises: a primary element coupled to an extension element; anda handle element coupled to the extension element, wherein the extension element is moveable relative to the primary element and the handle element is moveable relative to the extension element. 12. The exercise apparatus of claim 11, wherein the distance between the handle elements is adjustable. 13. The exercise apparatus of claim 12, wherein the handle element comprises two or more handles. 14. The exercise apparatus of claim 13, wherein the arm assembly is at least partially counter-balanced. 15. The exercise apparatus of claim 10, wherein the seat assembly comprises: a seat anchor rigidly coupled to the seat and moveable relative to a seat base; anda seat height adjustment mechanism, wherein seat height adjustment mechanism comprises:a lever comprising a first portion that extends substantially horizontally beneath the seat from a pivot point and a second portion that extends substantially vertically from the pivot point to the seat base; anda pin coupled to the second portion of the lever and adapted to engage holes in the anchor and base and thereby secure the seat at the desired height. 16. The exercise apparatus of claim 10, wherein the seat is moveable between the first and second positions without lifting the seat. 17. The exercise apparatus of claim 16, wherein the user's weight causes the stop to frictionally engage the surface and thereby prevent lateral movement of the seat while a user sits on the seat in the first position.
