I had a previous Total Gym, a budget priced one, which my son took with him when he left home for a new job. The Total Gym XLS is a much better manufactured, much sturdier gym, with a very comfortable wider seat, squat platform, pull-up/push-up bar, and work-out routines. Because of athletic injuries (medial collateral ligament tear from tennis and a rotator-cuff injury from swimming) I needed to exercise my knee and shoulder more gently. The Total Gym has been very good for this. The squat platform has been very useful for one and 2-legged squats with a light load for regaining strength in my calf. The inclined pull-ups and other exercises have allowed me to slowly strengthen my rotator cuff muscles with a very low load to prevent re-injury. Also, by hanging on the pull-up bar on the incline, I have been able to relax and stretch out my shoulder, gaining back full range of motion without straining it or re-injuring it. I couldn't be more pleased. I am well on my way to full recovery. Then I can begin strength training on a slowly progressive regimen and thus avoid ripping ligaments and muscles.

I've been working out on the Totoal Gym a few times a week for about a month. I'm definitely starting to see more definition. Work outs are quick and effective

I am learning how to use this equipment and I did my first complete workout two days ago. I am starting to pick out my favorite exercises, like the Surfer and the chest fly and the pull over, but the ab exercises are a little tricky for me, so I'll watch the great video again. There's more to this machine than meets the eye at first and I look forward to learning it all!

I've checked this out many times and finally took the leap...so glad I did. Arrived within days...easy set up right out of the box allowed me to begin my workout routine right away...monthly payments made it easy to pay.

Lifted free weights all my life. I'm over 40 now. The total gym is all I need. Builds muscle and really maintains years of hard work. Great for stretching-flexibility.

I recently lost 60 lbs through diet and wanted build up my strength and muscle. My shirts were just hanging off my shoulders and I wanted to fill them out. I've seen the Total Gym infomercial dozens of times and it seemed like it really works. So I decided now was the time to give it a try. I'm very happy I did. It's everything is appears to be on TV.
It's a very versatile piece of exercise equipment. You can quickly and easily move from one exercise to another. Although my goal was to build up my chest and shoulders, I was surprised that I was strengthening my core as well. You can get a great work out in just minutes. It's all set up and ready to use and I can quickly get on and do 2 or 3 exercises and go on to do something else.
After just a few weeks, I can feel and see the difference. It comes with a lot of accessories, training tools and videos. The training deck also contains dozens of exercises and workouts. It's amazing how many exercises you can do on it. It's well built and sturdy.
The initial set up wasn't as quite simple as shown in the video, but you'll figure it out. Absolutely no tools needed. I love the total gym. It's fun to use and really works. I'm 55, and in 20 years I want to be like Chuck Norris.
