A curved deck treadmill (10) is disclosed as comprising a support frame (12) having a first side (20) and a second opposing side (22) for supporting a deck (56) therebetween. The deck comprises a forward end (58), a near end (60), and an intermediate portion (62) disposed between the first and second ends. The intermediate portion of the deck is preferably formed in a substantially arcuate configuration such that a significant portion of the intermediate portion may be operably disposed dimensionally lower in longitudinal relation to the first and second ends of the deck. Further, a roller assembly (14) is provided preferably comprising a first roller (78) and second roller (86). The first roller may be rotatably disposed contiguous the first end of the deck between the first side and the second side of the support frame. Correspondingly, the second roller is preferably disposed contiguous the second end of the deck between the first and second sides of the support frame. In operation, an endless belt (16) may be rotatably mounted in relation to the roller assembly (14) and operatively disposed in relation to the deck (56), thereby providing a structurally supported arcuate shaped, movable surface on which a user may exercise.
