Great workout with one major flaw
on April 20, 2009
Posted by: Anonymous
from Lancaster, PA
The product is awesome. The only flaw and problem that I have with my total gym is that when I put the wing bar on to do pull ups and work my legs, it has dented the shiny metal frame. I purchased this higher end model because it is more than sufficient for my weight range. I now have cut a leather belt to use in the wing to prevent any further denting, but my total gym is already dented.
Pros: Strengthens, Easy To Use, Quick change for exercise, Quiet Operation
Cons: Weakness in design
I would recommend this to a friend!

The machine was larger and more difficult to handle unlike what I seen on T.V..My home is small and I have no place to set it up so I rarely use it.
Pros: Quiet Operation, Sturdy
Cons: Hard To Set Up, Hard To Use, Bulky
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does not replace Weights

from Fort Worth, tx
The product does not in any way replace iron weights. There is not enought resistance. at level 6 the gym feels very unstable. Because of upping the angle to incresse weight you also limit the exercises. I would suggest that the average person have on, but for the seriouse health person it is only good for breaking up the routine.
Pros: Easy Storage, Comfortable, Keeps the heart rate up, Easy To Use, Quick changing
Cons: Flimsy
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's harder than it looks.

This product is good if you can manover on it. If you are a large person, it is very hard to go from on position to another. Once you are in the position, the exercise works good. You may also have a hard time getting into some of the positions that they show on TV. I sweat more just trying to move around than I do while I am exercising.
Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Set Up, Quiet Operation
Cons: Hard To Use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

not for big people: sturdy but too small

Verified Purchase:No
this machine is hard for my wife to pull out and to put away. It would help if it had wheels. For me, I am 6'3" and weigh 320lbs. I would like to see a longer machine and the pullies farther apart. the cables rub across your body when your back is to the upright. You can not get a full stroke if you are a tall person.
Pros: Quiet Operation, Easy To Use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was trying to find an easy substitute because I do not have the time to go to the gym with a new baby. Once I finally get the gym set up it is very difficult to switch from activity to activity so I try to only do arm exercises one day, legs the next and so on
Pros: Easy Storage, Sturdy, Quiet Operation
Cons: Bulky, Hard To Set Up
