A hold-up-assist device allows users to ingress and egress a vertically-actuated exercise apparatus such as a squat machine without the awkward, and perhaps physically daunting, requirement of lifting the upper frame portion. Instead, the support arm with its V-shaped channel on a top contacting surface is swung up to brace the upper frame as the last user completes his squat repetitions. The next user is then able to enter, comfortably raise the upper frame with the shoulders, back and leg muscles, and then swing the assist device to the side by grasping a curved handle that extends toward the user. Thereafter, exercise repetitions proceed.
