In 1995, a company called Precor introduced the first "elliptical fitness crosstrainer."
The earliest patent I could find cites Paul William Eschenbach as inventor, but I'm not sure this was actually the FIRST elliptical machine or the first one with arm movement.
According to Wikipedia, "A more compact elliptical trainer was invented by Larry D. Miller for Precor and was patented in 2004. Miller created the idea for the machine by filming his daughter running alongside a car, while watching the motion of her legs. His idea was to take that exact motion and put it into a machine which puts less strain on the joints."
