A removably mountable pulse rate monitoring system and an associated exercise machine. The pulse rate monitoring system includes first, second and third housings, each configured for removable attachment to a support bar system of the exercise machine. Supportably mounted within the first housing is a pulse rate calculation circuit and a display, coupled to the pulse rate calculation circuit, for displaying a pulse rate determined by the pulse rate calculation circuit. A first electrode is supportably mounted by the second housing and a second electrode is supportably mounted by the third housing. The first and second electrodes transmits data used to determine the pulse rate of a user of the exercise machine when the electrodes are grasped by the user. Preferably, each of the second and third housings are configured as generally tubular sidewalls having an outer surface on which the electrode is mounted, an inner surface which defines an interior space, a first side surface which extends along the length of the first sidewall and a second side surface which extends along the length of the first sidewall. The housing is deformable to space the first and second side surfaces apart from each other to define an access aperture which extends along the length of the sidewall. The access aperture defined by the first and second side surfaces of the sidewall enable the housing to be place over the support structure at a desired location.
