An exercise apparatus is disclosed for strength training and physical therapy of a user thereof. The apparatus includes a frame having a first side and a second side spaced relative to the first side and at least one spacer extending between the sides. An axle is rotatably supported by the frame, the axle having a first and a second end. An arm has a first and a second extremity, the first extremity of the arm being rigidly secured to the first end of the axle. A handle extends from the second extremity of the arm such that in use of the apparatus, when the user moves the handle in an orbital direction about the axle, the axle is rotated relative to the frame. A weight table is movably supported by the frame. A weight guide extends from the weight table for permitting weights to be guided onto the weight table. A first table support has a proximal and a distal end, the proximal end being pivotally secured to the frame at a first location, the distal end being pivotally secured to the weight table at a first disposition. A second table support has a first and a second termination, the first termination being pivotally secured to the frame at a second location spaced relative to the first location. The second termination is pivotally secured to the weight table at a second disposition, the second disposition being spaced relative to the first disposition. The arrangement is such that, in use of the apparatus, the weight table is moved from a first position adjacent to the frame to a second position away from the frame. The weight table is inclined relative to the frame when in the first position thereof for facilitating guiding weights onto and along the weight guide onto the weight table. The weight table is disposed substantially horizontal when in the second position thereof. A transmission is provided for transmitting rotational movement of the axle when the axle is rotated relative to the frame, the rotational movement of the axle being transmitted to the weight table for moving the weight table between the first position and the second position thereof.
