A collapsible and portable dip apparatus may be structurally configured for use with one or more resistance bands for adjusting the intensity of exercises. Specifically, a dip apparatus according to the present teachings may include side structures that are pivotable towards a central support structure to reduce a footprint of the dip apparatus, e.g., for storage. Further, the side structures may include support bars that are structurally configured for engagement with a resistance band, where the support bars are located below gripping bars of the dip apparatus. To this end, the present teachings include an exercise system featuring the aforementioned dip apparatus and resistance bands, where a user can engage a resistance band with each of the side structures of the dip apparatus such that a user can place his/her knees on the resistance band for support when performing a dip exercise.
