Keep us advised on this project. I have the BowFlex Ultimate and do find it a bit awkward to move around.

It looks like he solved the moving problem already with the wheels he attached.

This worked out pretty well. I had to drill and tap a few holes and
make those plates. It wasn't tough.

Do you wish the wheels were 6 or 8 inches farther apart?

I did put them about an inch or 2 farther apart with the 2 extra nuts
and washers but this is a heavy SOB and even with a 5/8" axle, I was
worried about it bending. It is fairly stable and I have not had a
problem with it tipping over. If I want to go any wider I may need
more structure or a thicker axle. I was just using what I had in the
garage.

Bad news on the slotted wheel idea. A disk platter just laughs at a
dremel tool. Henc offered to cut the slots on his CnC machine and I
may take him up on it. He says he has a 2mm cutter and a disk platter
is 95mm in diameter (298.3 circumference) so the lands for 72 slots
will be just a tad wider than the slots. (2.14mm)

That should work.
