Don't procrastinate

I've wanted to buy one of these for over a decade and I finally pulled the trigger and got it. Assembly - trying to follow the written directions wasn't as easy as I thought, but I logged onto youtube and found a video that showed me what I was not discerning int written directions. After that it was easy. Videos - The workout videos that come with it are invaluable. I highly recommend looking at the videos for proper technique and best efficiency. Workout - it's every bit as good as I hoped it would be. I was not let down at all. If you think you are not getting a good workout then up your incline level. I still do not experience the soreness I used to get from going to the gym, yet I still feel the burn. Will provide another update after 3 months - it's only been about 1 month now.
Pros: Quiet, Comfortable, Sturdy, Strengthens, Easy To Use

Total Gym for Toning
on February 10, 2014

I purchased the Total Gym to tone up my body post having a baby. Not only am I more toned, I have lost inches. And others have noticed too. The Total Gym has replaced my gym membership. It is so convenient to go into my basement to exercise whenever I want (usually while the baby is napping). It comes with a stack of cards that I can reference that targets different areas of the body. I used the exercise videos at first to help me get started with the machine, but once I felt familiar and comfortable with it, I have made up my own routines and have even tried doing other exercises that are not listed. It is so versatile that it is easy to transition from one exercise to the next. I usually target one area a day and rotate every other day between upper body and legs. I do abdominal exercises daily. This machine is great for the upper body. For the lower body, I wish it could be more versatile. There are many leg exercise listed but they seem to be all about the same. Someday, I plan to purchase the cycling attachment.
Pros: Tones, Strengthens, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use

I have artificial knees. Recent surgeries on my knees and lower back. When laying on the surface you would have to put your feet on the end of the platform. This is very difficult for older people and folks with bad knees. Some sort of a foot rest that is lower, which requires less bending of the knee and possibly extended out to the side a bit to avoid the foot push board. This would really increase the level of the exercises and relieve the stress on my knees and back. I believe that there are many folks that would like this even if it was just an option. Thanks for you consideration on this and I would appreciate your thoughts on this and if it might become an option in the future that I could add onto my machine. I really like using the machine.
Pros: Easy To Use, Quiet, Sturdy, Comfortable
Cons: Not Completely Functional

This was the best Christmas gift.

I have wanted one for several years and just never took a chance until this year. I am glad I did, my family couldn't be happier with it. We all need to get into shape. I personal bought it to help me loose the last 100lbs of my 240lb weight loss. I must admit I am a slow starter, but with the Total Gym XLS I know it is a goal that I will make. Also my 9 year old loves how easy and fun it is for her to use as well. Thank you for making such a great product.

This is a must have piece of equipment!

I attend a lot of fitness classes, go to the gym and get plenty of exercise and wanted something effective to do at home to help tone and strenghten my body. I can definitely say I chose a winner. I love how easy and personalized this machine is and it'as quiet enough that if I workout at 5am or 10pm I won't disturb my daughter. I've only had the machine a week and it will definitely be used to it full potential in my home. I'm teaching my daughter how to use it and everyone that comes over gets a quick workout in and loves the mobility the machine provides. I think every household should have one!
