A weight bench having an inclining seat assembly and a weight support which can be pushed away from the seat assembly to afford ready egress from the seat assembly. The bench includes a frame to which the seat assembly is pivotally attached, a spring adjustably anchored to the frame and to the seat assembly, and a foot rest. The spring urges the seat assembly into an upright position, but yields to the weight of a person sitting in the seat assembly. The seat assembly includes a seat and a seat back fixed to one another such that they incline in tandem. The bench has a weight supporting tray fixed to a support staff pivotally mounted to the frame of the bench at the lower end of the support staff. The support staff is constrained to pivot towards and away from the seat back in an arcuate path not deviating from a vertical position by more than forty-five degrees. The support staff is located on the frame such that when it inclines toward the seat assembly, the tray is at shoulder height and at arm's length from the seat back.
