Patent attributes
An exercise machine including a support frame, one or more arched frames and a grip frame detachably coupled together in a circular sequence is described. A locking control mechanism can allow detaching or attaching one end of the grip frame from the arched frames to configure the machine in an operating configuration or a collapsed configuration. The arched frames in an operating configuration are arranged substantially parallel to each other to allow a user positioned in between the arched frames to perform exercise movements. When one end of the grip frame is detached from the arched frame, the arched frames, the grip frame and the support frames may be folded (or foldable) into a collapsed configuration with the arched frames substantially stacked together covering each other. The arched frames, the support frame and the grip frame can remain coupled in sequence in the collapsed configuration.
