Too much effort to set up & take down
on May 18, 2009
Posted by: Anonymous
from Bear, DE
The total Gym was easy to setup except there was some confusion regarding the pulley cable because it fell to the floor and it took me a while to figure that out. I do like my total gym however I would use it more if I could leave it set up all the time rather than taking it down and resetting it up because it is bulky and heavy for someone that's on the small side. They showed proper technique on the video though so you don't injure yourself, my dogs chewed the handles the 2nd night so I must hide those, hint to those with pets! It does do the trick for strength training and targeting specific areas of the body like I wanted just need to pysch myself up to set it up!
Pros: Easy To Use, Strengthens
Cons: Bulky, Hard To Set Up
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought the Total Gym a month ago and have been diligently working out on it 3 to 5 times a week. I feel better physically but have had no changes in weight or clothing sizes. I was hoping by now my clothes would fit more comfortably or that I would go down a size. I will still continue to work out on it as I do enjoy that but am disappointed not to see changes in my problem areas.

There are a lot of exercises you can do on the Total Gym and we are just scratching the surface. This thing can kick ur butt! Which is what you want for a workout. There are a lot of add-ons too. I can even add more weight if I want. Don’t go any lower than the XLS because you won’t be future proofing your purchase if you do. The XLS is worth it! I will prob give 5 stars later but for now giving 4 cuz I just got it a few weeks ago.

Not really worth the $$$

I find this machine to be big, heavy and rather bulky to deal with. The bench will tip over on you if your body is not positioned just right. I am very disappointed in this piece of equipment. I should have sent it back within my first 30 days; however, I did not.
Pros: Quiet, Sturdy
Cons: Hard To Use, Bulky
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

LOVE the equipment - not happy with assembly time

I absolutely LOVE my Total Gym. The reason for the 3-star review is it was anything but easy to put together. It's advertised as assembled, but it took my son and I two hours to set-up. Pretty disappointed. As for the workouts, I'm very happy with the results so far!

Easy to use

As a disabled vet this gym is great. Easy to use, changeover from one excersize to another is as simple as changing arm or body position. Wish I'd have made the purchase a while back.

Clumsy and Not Easy to Install

I was a weight lifter for many years wanted an easy work out. It's been out of the box for 2 days and can't seem to get it installed right. Not as easy as they say unless mine is defective and I am a engineer. The manual is unreadable. The printing is half the size of a fortune cookie with blurred pics. Not worth the money for the aggravation. BTW most of what Norris says on the video about building muscle is not true. This machine is really for older people trying to keep in shape if you can get it working.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
