I was out treadmill shopping today, and came across a "semi-accessible" line by NordicTrack. These had the usual displays that would need to be marked to find the buttons, but there was also a row of very tactile switches near the hand grips with controls for on/off, incline, speed, and the fan. This setup was very accessible if you didn't worry about the preprogrammed accessories. While its a ways from being completely accessible, the tactile controls for the basic functions was a huge "selling point" for me, and is a big step towards being usable.
