         2 . The exercise machine of  claim 1 , wherein the exercise machine further comprises a set of rails, wherein the screen unit is translatable along the set of rails. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise machine of  claim 2 , wherein the resistance unit and the screen unit are integrated as a single unit, and wherein the resistance unit and the screen unit are translatable together along the set of rails. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise machine of  claim 3 , wherein the integrated resistance and screen unit further comprises one or more arms. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise machine of  claim 2 , wherein the resistance unit and the screen unit are separate units, and wherein the screen unit is translatable separately from the resistance unit. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise machine of  claim 1 , wherein the exercise machine is stowed at least in part by rotating the screen unit until a display of the screen unit is hidden. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise machine of  claim 1 , wherein the screen unit is rotatable between a portrait orientation and a landscape orientation. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise machine of  claim 1 , wherein the screen unit is separately adjustable from the resistance unit. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise machine of  claim 1 , wherein the exercise machine is mountable on a wall. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise machine of  claim 9 , wherein the exercise machine comprises a sensor, and wherein the sensor is configured to detect a distance between the exercise machine and the wall. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise machine of  claim 1 , wherein the resistance unit further comprises an actuator coupled to the first cable. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise machine of  claim 1 , wherein the resistance unit further comprises an encoder, wherein the encoder determines a position. 
     
     
         13 . The exercise machine of  claim 1 , wherein the resistance unit further comprises an encoder, wherein the encoder determines a position, wherein the position is at least one of position of the motor and position of an actuator. 
     
     
         14 . The exercise machine of  claim 1 , wherein the motor providing the controllable tension force on the first cable provides the controllable tension force based at least in part on a position. 
     
     
         15 . The exercise machine of  claim 1 , wherein the motor providing the controllable tension force on the first cable provides the controllable tension force based at least in part on a position, wherein the position is at least one of position of the motor and position of an actuator. 
     
     
         16 . The exercise machine of  claim 1 , wherein the resistance unit further comprises: an actuator coupled to the first cable, and an encoder, wherein the encoder determines a position. 
     
     
         17 . The exercise machine of  claim 1 , wherein the resistance unit further comprises: an actuator coupled to the first cable, and an encoder, wherein the encoder determines a position, wherein the position is at least one of position of the motor and position of the actuator. 
     
     
         18 . The exercise machine of  claim 1 , wherein the resistance unit further comprises: an actuator coupled to the first cable, and an encoder, wherein the encoder determines a position, wherein the position is at least one of position of the motor and position of an actuator, and wherein the motor providing the controllable tension force on the first cable provides the controllable tension force based at least in part on a position, wherein the position is at least one of position of the motor and position of the actuator.
