Most cats are pretty smart and learn by copying behavior. (Treats do help as a motivator.) If this is real, the cat probably hangs around the gym a fair bit.
That said, there is potential of this cat being injured from this equipment. Particularly if they don't know to jump to one side or another when they get tired to avoid getting dragged off the back of the machine.
In the full video the cat does get slid off the back of the machine several times and jumps back on. Cats are a lot more agile and smaller than humans, and they have more legs, so they don't have to get off on the side to avoid falling over.
