A console for an exercise machine has a console housing providing a user interface for controlling the exercise machine and a media rack removably attached to the console housing and having a shelf sized to support a media item. At least one touch input element is on the media rack and is operable to control an auxiliary device on the exercise machine.

A mechanical braking system for a high-incline treadmill utilizing a mechanical brake which may be used on its own or in combination with a traditional motor brake. The mechanical brake is generally mountable on a treadmill between or around the belt motor and the flywheel. Upon engagement of the brake, typically the brake engages the flywheel, the motor, or the axle in a way that effectively locks the axle, and thus the belt, in a fixed position.

The invention provides a hydrotherapy treadmill. The treadmill comprises a treadmill main body including a treadmill belt, submerged in a water body, mounted on a support rack having a first and a second longitudinal side rails; a base frame configured to mount the support rack and the treadmill belt; and a first roller and a second roller rotatably mounted on the support rack and positioned between and substantially perpendicular to said first and second longitudinal side rails. The treadmill belt is an endless belt mounted around and extending between said first roller and the second roller for rotation therewith. The hydrotherapy treadmill further comprises a transmission system comprising an electrically powered hydraulic pump, wherein the electrically powered hydraulic pump rotates a hydraulic motor of the treadmill belt via a hydraulic input hose and a hydraulic output hose connected to the treadmill main body; and the hydraulic pump is powered by plugging, into a 120-volt power supply, a cord of a portable power unit mounted on a rolling cart.

A treadmill assembly is provided that is located co-planar with a surrounding floor surface. An edge assembly is provided that spans a gap between the floor surface and the treadmill assembly.
