1. An exercise machine, comprising:
a frame having a first end, a second end opposite of the first end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween;
a platform movably positioned upon the frame, wherein the platform includes an upper surface;
a first tension member adapted to be connected to the platform to provide a tension force to the platform;
an end platform attached to the frame near the first end of the frame, wherein the end platform includes an upper surface, an outer edge, and an inner edge, wherein the inner edge of the end platform faces a direction generally towards the platform, wherein the outer edge of the end platform faces a direction generally away from the platform;
wherein the end platform includes a main support portion and an extended portion extending from the main support portion towards the outer edge of the end platform, wherein the extended portion is narrower than the main support portion, wherein the extended portion is elongated, wherein the extended portion extends along the longitudinal axis, wherein the extended portion has a first side and a second side opposite of the first side, and wherein the end platform has a T-shaped structure formed by the main support portion and the extended portion; and
a plurality of gripping surfaces on the end platform adapted to be grasped by an exerciser to perform various exercises;
wherein the plurality of gripping surfaces comprises a first transverse gripping surface on the main support portion of the end platform, and a second transverse gripping surface on the main support portion of the end platform;
a first handle extending outwardly from the first side of the extended portion of the end platform; and
a second handle extending outwardly from the second side of the extended portion of the end platform;
wherein the first handle faces the first transverse gripping surface;
wherein the second handle faces the second transverse gripping surface; and
a first distal handle connected to the first side of the extended portion of the end platform and a second distal handle connected to the second side of the extended portion of the end platform.
