Abstract

A multifunction exercise apparatus having a seat portion ( 47 ) and a backrest ( 48 ) in the configuration of a chair, which in a first passive mode conceals the presence of a plurality of exercise elements which together form an exercise apparatus, and in a second exercise mode reveals one or more of said exercise elements for a user, the position of the seat portion ( 47 ) being altered and locked in a position with respect to a base portion and support surface on which the apparatus stands when the apparatus is moved between its first passive mode and the second exercise mode. This provides a comfortable chair construction that will fit in well with conventional home or office furniture when the apparatus is not required to be used for an exercise session.
