Love the Total Gym - please add a stand/platform

I've had my Total Gym for about two weeks and so far am loving it. I'm still experimenting with the different exercises to learn what levels I should use for different exercises but it does give a quick good workout without having to switch from machine to machine, or wait while the machine you want to use is occupied, which can happen at a gym. If I had to say ANYTHING negative about it, it would be that because it is so low to the ground, I find it a little uncomfortable/problematic getting on and off the machine. This is NOT a design flaw with the machine; rather it's a design flaw with me. I have arthritis in my knees, which makes bending them past a certain point painful. I know one of the advantages is that the Total Gym can be folded up and stored while not in use, but I have a designated space for it and leave it opened. It would be great if Total Gym made/offered a strong, sturdy, secure stand/platform to put the gym on; a stand/platform that raised it about 1-2 feet off the ground to make getting on and off easier for those of us with knee problems. That aside though, I highly recommend the Total Gym for anyone who wants to get a good workout without the hassle/expense of a gym membership.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this thing.. it is a ..wait for it... ITS A TOTAL GYM!!! I use to go to the brick and mortar gym..but Covid -19 stopped all of that. I am obese, and I have High blood pressure...more likely to get infected. So I needed another option. The Total Gym has every machine I have worked on in the building. Totally love it, using my body weight allows me to get a great workout and not hurt myself from misuse of dumbells or weight machine. Thank you

I am very disappointed in this product - it is made to look so simple to set up and use. I find thisproduct very heavy and bulky and difficult to get set up so it is not convenient to use. I wish I had sent it back - what a waste fo money for me.
Cons: Bulky, Way To Heavy To Set Up, Hard To Set Up, Hard To Use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this after 5th knee replacement thinking I could use it to get back into shape. Not for people with mobility and weight problems. To much pain getting on and off the darn board just to get into position to do the exercises.

I was disappointed with the quality. My Pad has already started coming apart and I cannot get half of the attachments to fit properly on the machine.

small function problems

I have used my total gym everyday for a month. I have experienced three problems from my total gym. The bench has come off it's track several times as I workout and had to be put back on. One pad on the wing attatchment has split after one week of use and the plastic beneath the connecting rails of the wing attatchment are beginning to come off. Several exercise cards are missing from the group of exercise cards. This exercise equipment provides a great workout ,but these problems hopefully are not an indication of what I should expect as the equipment ages.
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Easy Storage, Sturdy, Strengthens, Easy To Use
Cons: Noisy Operation

My husband and I bought this as a present to ourselves for Christmas. We keep wondering why we didn't purchase Total Gym before. We are on our way to Total Fitness with our Total Gym.
