The Total Gym has given me my life back!

from Charlotte, NC
I suffered a back injury in April 2005, due to a terrible car accident. After 2 years of intense pain/depression and two back surgeries I was horribly overweight and could barely move. Once I was released to begin exercise I purchased the total gym. At first every move caused great pain but after steady use and only two weeks, I could perform moves I hadn't made in 2 years. Now less than 2 months later I have lost over 15lbs, have more energy, can move and perform better. I am much happier and look forward to my life once again. And I don't even use it everday! I love it. Thanks Chuck, I recommend the Total Gym to anyone who wants to get results.
Pros: Sturdy, Strengthens, Quiet Operation, Comfortable, Easy To Use
Cons: Hard To Set Up

Different Goals/One Machine

from Arlington, TX
The XLS is a good fit for my 26 year old son, as well as myself, a mom at 58. I can use the settings on level 2 and 3 for my toning and overall conditioning. My son uses levels 3 and 4 for strength training, toning and weight loss. We have only used our XLS for about a month now, so we are still experimenting with the different exercises as we each tailor our personal workout routines. Neither of us feels the need to join a gym to achieve our fitness goals. We have found the card deck, which gives instructions for over 80 exercises, to be most useful. We used to be "occasional" exercisers. Now I would describe us as "frequent" exercisers, thanks to our XLS.
Pros: Easy To Use, Easy To Set Up, Comfortable, Quiet Operation, Sturdy, Strengthens

I'll keep on trying!!!

I am 68 years, facing a wheel chair. I refuse! The Total Gym is very difficult for me to set up (I have my neighbor do it) & I don't have room to leave it out. Also, extremely heavy for me to put away. This is probably not a fault, however, because I am very weak. I am up to level 3, finally able to push my body weight all the way up, and finally able to pull my body weight up. This is a major improvement, now can walk with a cane. So far, no weight loss, but I can see some definition in my thighs, and upper arms (bat wings are shrinking). Will be happier when I can do more exercises, but for now, progress is better than I expected. I have advanced eu-thyroid Graves Disease which creates extreme inflammation that attacks my joints. Of course, I'm overweight, but this machine is so sturdy, that once I get down on it, I feel very secure. It's working. You can't have it back.
Pros: Quiet Operation, Comfortable, Strengthens, Sturdy
Cons: Hard to reach grips, Hard to get down on, Hard To Set Up, Hard To Use

"Keeping the spirit alive"!

from Fort Worth, Texas
Since being medically retired from the U.S. Marines, it has been hard getting back to the physical conditioning I once had. After having 2 spine surgeries, 2 shoulder surgeries, and 4 hip surgeries including bi-lateral hip replacements, it has been a difficult road to recovery. The medications and steroid injections made me gain a lot of weight, and lose a lot of motivation. The Total Gym has helped me regain strength both physically and mentally. Every morning I do my exercises which gets my blood flowing, and my spirit energized to continue to work through the pain of recovering from surgeries. The Total Gym should be a major part of anyone's physical therapy routine.
Pros: Strengthens, Easy To Set Up, Quiet Operation, Easy To Use, Sturdy, Easy Storage, Adjustable resistance, Switch body parts easliy, Comfortable

This machine is great, only problem is I work long hours sometimes I have to force myself to use it. I'm really going to work hard becuase my sons wedding is June 27th and I have to work on my arms. We live in south Texas, so it's very hot and humid. I have the machine in the garage so that's probably why I hesitate to use it like I should. But I promise you, I have noticed my arms are starting to firm up. I probably try to exercise at least every other day in the evenings. Anyway, please send me another survey in a couple of months, hopefully since I have an event coming up maybe I'll be happy to just lose inches. Thanks again!!!!!
Pros: Easy To Use, Strengthens, Comfortable
