For a LEED CI project that includes a fitness center, do you count the motors in the treadmills and cross trainers? No fitness equipment I have found is Energy Star rated. These loads can be significant. Each treadmill has a 3hp motor.
You rely on LEEDuser. Can we rely on you?

EA prereq #2 addresses "ENERGY STAR qualified equipment".
If ENERGY STAR fitness equipment is not available for purchase , then yes you can exclude them.
Be prepared to submit a narrative explaining why you excluded them.
