A User Lift Exercise Apparatus is provided which has a base frame member with a seat support member coupled thereon which moves in the upward and downward directions. The apparatus also has a user engagement member which pivotally mounts to the front of the base frame member. The back portion of the user engagement member is coupled to the seat support member. The user engages the front portion of the user engagement member with their thighs and pivots this front portion in the downward direction, which produces upward movement in the back portion and thus in the seat support member. The opposite movement is also true. This allows the user to perform exercise routines on the lower body muscles areas while in a relatively seated position. Handle members may also be part of the apparatus.
