A portable, folding and freestanding exercise device/apparatus comprised of a contoured main frame made up of a pair of pivoting vertical rectangular sections, each section comprised of a pair of vertical channel-shaped frame members inter-connected at their top and lower end by horizontal curved-shaped members. A pair of pivotally mounted horizontal curved-shaped leg extensions are provided for added stability. A horizontal overhead bar is provided for the various cable configurations needed for the numerous exercises, and is affixed with a pair of pivotally mounted flat J-shaped hooks and a pair of inline pulleys for the cable. The pair of pivoting J-shaped hooks allow the overhead bar to be attached to the main frame. A horizontal frame lock/lower pulley slide bar is provided to lock the main frame and horizontal leg extensions in the open position and to accommodate the lower pulley slide. The lower pulley slide is provided for proper cable alignment with the overhead bar and the desired cable configuration and exercise. A vertical flat bar weight track mounted to the upper and lower pivot points of the pair of vertical rectangular sections is provided for the mounting of the weight tracking guide, which in conjunction with the use of the vertical weight stacking bar facilitates with keeping the barbell weights in a controlled vertical movement. Also, provided to move the desired weights thru the vertical movements of the exercises, is the weight pull bar, affixed with a portion of chain, to be connected to the desired cable configuration.
