Name of exercise machine (?) with three concentric rings and a person strapped into the middle spinning in all directions?

In almost every scifi-action movie of the 90s, there appears an exercise machine (?) with three concentric rings, and you strap into the middle and spin around in all directions. IIRC the outside ring is immobile and upright, while the inner two move on different axes, so the user can spin any which way.

Universal Soldier, Fortress, Drive and a bunch more had it, but I don't have screenshots.

So I've posted my terrible attempt at drawing what I mean. (Either that or the logo for my new political movement.)

Anyone know what it's called?

And whatever happened to it? It's the future now, why aren't we all spinning around in every direction, in between sessions on our hoverboards and flying cars?

EDIT:

Thanks, everyone. Turns out it's called an aerotrim.

So far, seen in the following 90s scifi movies:

• Contact
• Drive
• Fortress
• Gattaca
• The Lawnmower Man
• Universal Soldier

At least in aqua teen hungar force colon movie for theaters thats what its called.

I never saw any other movies with one but your drawing got me to realize aqua teen was obviosly doing a parody of them.
