1. A display assembly for a fitness trainer comprising:
- a base module including;
a processor;
a hardware circuit board in communication with the processor;
memory in communication with the hardware circuit board and the processor;
a first front operating surface including at least one control and at least one display window disposed on the front operating surface; and
a supplemental module removably coupled to and capping the base module such that the supplemental module and the base model cannot rotate relative to one another, wherein the supplemental module may be separated from the base module, the supplemental module having a second front surface including at least one control, wherein the first front operating surface terminates at a first edge, and the second front surface terminates at a second edge, wherein the first edge and the second edge are in abutment along a junction such that the first front operating surface and the second front surface are coplanar along the junction to form, in combination, a generally continuous and generally planar operating surface extending across the junction.
