Abstract

A portable exercise apparatus having at least one removable, horizontal user gripping bar for supporting at least portion of the force generated by a user during exercise; a vertical frame capable of supporting at least portion of the force generated by a user during exercise that includes a free-standing vertical rear support frame and at least one pair of vertical side support frames pivotally attached to the rear support frame; and at least one user support base having opposing sides and opposing ends and capable of supporting at least portion of the force generated by a user during exercise. Each user gripping bar is removably attached to each of the pairs of vertical side support frames; and the opposing sides of the user base being removably attached to each of the pairs of vertical side support frames. One end of each user base abuts the vertical rear support frame.

1 . A portable exercise apparatus comprising: 
 a. at least one removable, horizontal user gripping bar for supporting at least portion of the force generated by a user during exercise;    b. a vertical frame capable of supporting at least portion of the force generated by a user during exercise comprising 
 i. a free-standing vertical rear support frame and  
 ii. at least one pair of vertical side support frames pivotally attached to said rear support frame; and  
   c. at least one user support base having opposing sides and opposing ends and capable of supporting at least a portion of the force generated by a user during exercise,    each user gripping bar being removably attached to each of said pairs vertical side support frames; and    said opposing sides of said user base being removably attached to each of said pairs of vertical side support frames and one end of each user base abutting said vertical rear support frame.    
   
   
       2 . A portable exercise apparatus as recited in  claim 1  wherein said apparatus further comprises: 
 at least one pair of stabilizing legs.
