A multi-purpose exercise apparatus used for linear and rotational resistance exercises with varying heights, diameters, angular ranges and planes. The apparatus relates to a frame (frame 430 ) and at least one carriage ( 300 ) supported by and movable on the frame. The carriage ( 300 ) supports at least one spooling force transmitter ( 102 ), and/or at least one translating force transmitter ( 101 ), which is connected to a resistance source (resistance source 494 ) through a flexible connector ( 476 ). The spooling force transmitter ( 102 ) is connected to a rigid arm ( 390 ) to which the user can apply rotational force against the spool and connected resistance. The spooling force transmitter ( 102 ) pivots on a positioning axis that is coincident with the longitudinal axis of the flexible connector ( 476 ) immediately before the connector attaches to the spooling force transmitter ( 101 ). The user can apply force to the translating force transmitter ( 101 ) to perform guided straight-line motions in a variety of directions.
