         4 . The multifunctional exercise machine according to  claim 2 , wherein said logic control unit is configured to operate the load group at the beginning of an exercise to be performed to bring an actuator of the specific operating group to an exercise starting position. 
     
     
         5 . The multifunctional exercise machine according to  claim 4 , wherein each operating group has a plurality of different exercise starting positions depending on the different exercise to be performed. 
     
     
         6 . The multifunctional exercise machine according to  claim 2 , wherein the logic control unit communicates with an interface on the machine, and/or with a remote device, and/or with a cloud unit to receive data related to a training program or to an individual exercise selected by the user. 
     
     
         7 . The multifunctional exercise machine according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said operating groups comprises at least one actuator configured to be operated by the user, said actuator being a pull cable and/or a pair of levers. 
     
     
         8 . The multifunctional exercise machine according to  claim 2 , wherein each of said operating groups comprises at least one actuator configured to be operated by the user, said actuator being a pull cable and/or a pair of levers. 
     
     
         9 . The multifunctional exercise machine according to  claim 1 , further comprising, in said plurality of operating groups, at least one of: a first operating group comprising a first pair of levers for performing biceps, and/or triceps, and/or abdominal training exercises; a second group comprising a second pair of levers for performing pectoral muscles training exercises and/or rowing exercises; a third group comprising a third pair of levers for performing shoulder/back training exercises; a fourth group comprising a pull cable for performing leg training exercises and/or low-cable functional training exercises. 
     
     
         10 . The multifunctional exercise machine according to  claim 2 , further comprising, in said plurality of operating groups, at least one of: a first operating group comprising a first pair of levers for performing biceps, and/or triceps, and/or abdominal training exercises; a second group comprising a second pair of levers for performing pectoral muscles training exercises and/or rowing exercises; a third group comprising a third pair of levers for performing shoulder/back training exercises; a fourth group comprising a pull cable for performing leg training exercises and/or low-cable functional training exercises. 
     
     
         11 . The multifunctional exercise machine according to  claim 1 , further comprising a seat for the user, and, in said plurality of operating groups, at least a first operating group comprising a first pair of levers for performing biceps, and/or triceps, and/or abdominal training exercises;
 wherein said first pair of levers are elbow-shaped levers, with concavity facing the front direction of the seat.   
     
     
         12 . The multifunctional exercise machine according to  claim 11 , wherein said levers of said first pair of levers comprise at their free end thereof a supporting plate, substantially orthogonal to the end section of the lever, and projecting at least partially in the rear direction thereof; said supporting plate being associated on the lever side with a pull handle. 
     
     
         13 . The multifunctional exercise machine according to  claim 1 , further comprising an interface for the user, said interface comprising a flap and, on one of the faces of said flap, a screen for visually communicating information to the user and/or for inputting commands by the user, wherein said flap is rotatably mounted, according to a substantially horizontal axis, relative to a portion integral with the machine, so as to be able to rotate between a first configuration, wherein said flap is raised and the screen is turned towards a first working position of the user, and a second configuration, wherein said flap is lowered and the screen is turned towards a second working position of the user, overturned relative to the first configuration. 
     
     
         14 . The multifunctional exercise machine according to  claim 1 , further comprising a seat comprising in turn a seat base fixed relative to a frame of the machine and a backrest movable in translation relative thereto due to the action of one or more actuators. 
     
     
         15 . The multifunctional exercise machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said gear shifting mechanism is a desmodromic gear shifting mechanism. 
     
     
         16 .
