1. An exercise machine comprising:
a frame that includes a front side and a back side;
a first motor and a second motor, wherein the first motor drives a first cable, and wherein the second motor drives a second cable; and
a first arm and a second arm, wherein the first arm positions the first cable, and the second arm positions the second cable, wherein the first arm is located on a left side of the frame and the second arm is located on a right side of the frame, and wherein each arm is capable of being stowed at least in part by horizontally pivoting the arm from a respective side of the frame to the back side of the frame, wherein a stowed arm is out of view from a front side of the frame.
2. The exercise machine of claim 1 wherein a given arm is capable of being stowed at least in part by pivoting the given arm vertically such that the given arm is flush with the exercise machine.
3. The exercise machine of claim 1 wherein a given arm is capable of being stowed at least in part by causing the given arm to be pivoted horizontally such that the given arm is facing a back of the exercise machine.
4. The exercise machine of claim 3 wherein the given arm is capable of being stowed such that at least a portion of the given arm is out of a view of a user of the exercise machine.
5. The exercise machine of claim 1 wherein a given arm is capable of being stowed such that the given arm is stowed behind at least a portion of the exercise machine.
6. The exercise machine of claim 1 wherein the first cable travels within the first arm.
7. The exercise machine of claim 1 wherein the exercise machine is capable of being wall mounted.
8. The exercise machine of claim 1 wherein the exercise machine is capable of being floor mounted.
9. The exercise machine of claim 1 wherein resistance generated by at least one of the first motor and the second motor is dynamically adjustable.
10. The exercise machine of claim 1 wherein resistance generated by the at least one of the first motor and the second motor is based at least in part on a target weight.
11. The exercise machine of claim 1 , wherein the first cable is coupled between the first motor and a first actuator.
12. The exercise machine of claim 11 , wherein the first actuator comprises a handle.
