"Don't waited, It's your lost"

from Cape Coral, Fl.
Love "Total Gym XLS" Just started to use it two weeks ago even though I bought it a few month ago. I waited TEN YEARS for a better one to hit the market. Once I saw this one I was excited and I didn't think twice to get it. After trying it...I can't believe I waiting a few month to start from the time I bought it. Now I will not quit. The only regret I have is not starting it ten years ago, then just trade it in for the XLS. My plan is to post a picture of me by December of the new me.
Pros: Strengthens, Cool looking, Sturdy, Comfortable, Quiet, Easy Storage, Easy To Use, Easy To Set Up

so far love it

My Dr recommended this particular machine because of its low impact strength building without bulk capabilities(which I understand you can bulk too). I am 62 and 20 lbs overweight(alright 30). Trust me, it gives us older people a nice cardio workout, too. Used it for about 30 minutes (10 of which was setting it up). I am amazed at the different exercises you can do in a short period of time. And they are so easy to execute. I can already feel it! I like it so much that I am here to upgrade the 1100 model which you can't get the attachments for. I am going to give the 1100 to my dauhter and get the super duper deluxe model. I Am really looking forward to the upgrade. Thank you Total Gym. Finally something FUN to workout on.. Even for us oldies. Not being able to get attachments is the only thing that made the 1100 model I bought A 4 star.
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Comfortable, Easy To Use, Quiet, Sturdy
Cons: Can't find any cons yet

I can use Total Gym 24/7 in the comfort of my country home which is 50 miles away from a decent gym. I can break up my sessions into any increments I wish, and most of the time I end up getting in MORE workouts than I would if I had to drive all the way to a facility.
Pros: Sturdy, Strengthens, Easy to understand, Easy To Set Up, Easy Storage, Comfortable, Quiet, Easy To Use
Cons: NONE

It Works - 'nuf said

Following knee surgery the Physical Therapy facility I went to used the Total Gym as an integral part of the regimen I was on and it appeared to be the same case for other patients. After improving on the Total Gym in therapy I decided to buy one to do the routines at home. So glad I did and the no brainer was being able to break up the purchase into monthly payments without having to use a credit card. At 6'8" and just under 400lbs I wish it was a bit wider but I am steadily improving because it works.
Pros: Quiet, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Strengthens, Sturdy, Comfortable

78 YEAR OLD ENJOYS TIME ON TOTAL GYM

from The Dalles, OR
Usually I start out with the rails set at a 5 setting and I end with it there. I do a set of leg lifts and pull ups. Then I reset the rail at a 3 setting and remove the handle bar. Here Isit on the carriage and using the pulley appratus work my stomach and arms from 6 different positions. The great thing about this is you can move from one exercise right into another exercise.
Pros: Easy To Use, Quiet, Well built quality, Sturdy, Strengthens

best home gym for toning and cardio

If you are a gym rat you wont even be looking at this machine. If you are more like me and are looking for a machine to increase health, give you a stronger toned body without the beef of a gym then you need to really consider this machine. I am a former Marine, been out for 14 years and am getting my bootcamp body back. I have had a bowflex and the bowflex locking weight bells and nothing can compare to this machine. I dont even need a seperate cardio machine. If you are serious about creating changes to your physical body then check out this machine and the videos. The videos will show you the full capabilities of the Total Gym.
Pros: Easy To Use, Comfortable, Quiet, Easy To Set Up, Easy Storage, Strengthens, Sturdy

I have used the TG three times per week since purchase in December. I do 12 different exercises; 2 sets of 15 reps each. I am 75 years old. It has increased my strength which I have noticed primarily on the golf course. I do other exercises each week such as walking (15 miles per week) and stationary bike (24 miles/week). IT IS NOT FUN as Christie and Chuck describe it. If it was, everyone would do it. In my opinion, no exercise is fun. It is better than lifting weights which I did for several years. I like being able to switch from one exercise to another without changing weights or machines. I have not lost any weight; in fact, I have gained a pound or so and I am not a big eater nor do I eat fatty foods. I am a "soup and salad" person. Do not drink or smoke. I have no complaints and will continue to use it regularly.
Pros: Sturdy, Easy To Use, Strengthens
Cons: Not As Much Fun As Advert

Excellent product.

I have been looking at this product for quite a few years and after 5 years of being retired, I finally decided to buy it for winter exercise. I live in B.C., Canada and golf year round. After using the machine for 2 months, my posture has improved 100% and my trips to the chiropractor has been reduced substantially, My only concern is that the equipment is heavy to set up, as I have to set it up daily. Other than that, I love it. My only regrets is that I didn't buy the XLS system sooner. I have tried and bought other pieces of exercise equipment , but to me, this is all you will need to give you a total work out. Just can't say enough about it.
Pros: Sturdy, Easy Storage, Strengthens, Quiet, Comfortable, excellent work out, Easy To Use
Cons: Heavy To Set Up
