An exercise apparatus providing a User multiple different exercises, including both resistance movements and isometrics. The User interacts with the apparatus by grasping a bar. A resistance mechanism is symmetrically mounted on a second bar and provides infinitely variable resistance to the User, as well as soundproof operation. A vertical column allows infinite positioning of the bars for different exercises, and a bench provides support. The User can change the exercise resistance by verbal commands, or the apparatus can sense the torque applied by the user to the apparatus and vary the exercise resistance in response to the force applied by the User or the speed at which the user is moving the bar. The apparatus can be battery powered and operated at locations where electric service is unavailable, or in zero gravity. To verify accuracy, the resistance can be calibrated against a known quantity of weight. 1. An exercise apparatus , comprising:a bar of sufficient size to accommodate use by a human for bodily exercise;a plurality of connecting bars of equal length;a second bar that is attached to said first bar by said connecting bars and is substantially parallel to said first bar;said first bar having a total length that is greater than the distance between said connecting bars;an electric resistance mechanism attached to said second bar;said electric resistance mechanism selected from a group consisting of a linear actuator brake, a linear actuator electromechanical brake, a linear actuator friction disc brake, a stepper motor brake, a servo motor brake, a servo motor electromagnetic brake, a servo motor friction disc brake, and an electric particle brake;said electric resistance mechanism positioned substantially symmetrically on said second bar in relation to the ends of said second bar;said first bar and said plurality of connecting bars of equal length capable of being rotated at least three hundred degrees around the rotational center point of said second ...
