An exercise device of the type including a frame with a first crank assembly rotatably coupled to the frame about a first axis and a second crank assembly rotatably coupled to the frame about a second axis. A control system may be used in communication with the first crank assembly and the second crank assembly, which may provide a synchronous movement of the first crank assembly relative to the second crank assembly. A pedal arm may be provided with a first end pivotally coupled to the first crank assembly and a pedal positioned on a second end. A crank link may be used with one end coupled to the second crank assembly and a second end coupled to the pedal arm. The crank link may be movable on the pedal arm which may provide varying paths of motion of the pedals.

A stationary exercise device includes a support structure and one or more input members such as pedals, handles, or other feature movably connected to the support structure. A movable output member such as a wheel is movably mounted to the support structure, and operably connected to the one or more input members such that movement of the one or more input members causes the output member to move. A resistance member interacts with the output member when the output member is moving to generate a variable resistance force tending to prevent movement of the output member. The variable resistance force may at least partially simulate the effects of inertia and/or momentum.

A foldable gymnastic machine comprising a supporting structure to rest said gymnastic machine on a resting surface, comprising a front portion, comprising in turn a resistance member, and a rear portion, an exercise device, through which a user performs a gymnastic exercise, coupled to said supporting structure and to said resistance member, capable of resisting during the execution of a gymnastic exercise, said exercise device comprising a second pair of levers for the feet, in turn comprising a first and a second lever, each provided with a first end, coupled to said supporting structure, and a free second end, capable of fitting said user's feet during the execution of the gymnastic exercise, said gymnastic machine being characterized in that said first and second lever of said second pair of levers for the feet are capable of passing from an open position, in which the user can perform the gymnastic exercise, to a closed position, when the gymnastic machine is not in use.

A treadmill includes a platform where the platform includes a first side panel and a second side panel spaced apart at a distance from the first side panel, and a gap defined between the first side panel and the second side panel. The treadmill also includes a running deck contained within the platform and exposed within the gap, a first pulley connected to the running deck, a second pulley connected to the running deck opposite the first pulley, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley. A motor is in mechanical communication with at least one of the first pulley or the second pulley. A cover is located over the motor. A scale mechanism is incorporated into the cover over the motor.
