Morphology

exerciser = exercise (transparent) = exercise + er

The agentive suffix '-er' added to the verb 'exercise' yields 'a person who exercises', a standard and transparent formation.

Etymology

The word exerciser for a person also comes from exercise, from the old Latin exercere meaning 'train' or 'keep busy'. So an exerciser is a person who 'works out' regularly to stay fit and healthy.
