Good at Excercising Core Muscle Groups
on March 16, 2009
Posted by: Tim49
from Indiana
The machine is smooth, quiet, and provides steady resistance throughout the range of motion. For the regular excercises that do not use attachments it is an effective form of excercise, but when the attachments are needed for expanding the available excercises the machine can be difficult to use and less steady. The leg cuffs and pulley system for example is almost impossible to get into position for.
Pros: Strengthens, Comfortable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not what I needed

from Arlington, TX
I had ment to return the Total Gym but because of the death of a friend I lost track of time, now I am paying for a machine I can not properly use. I believe it would be wonderful for someone that has the ability to use it properly but it makes my shoulders and lower back hurt so I can't do much with it.
Pros: Sturdy, Quiet Operation
Cons: Uncomfortable, Hard To Set Up, Bulky, Hard To Use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Too Low to the Ground
on June 30, 2009

from Austin Tx
I like the machine because it allow me to evercise without all my weight being put on my joints. I have one very bad knee (it's been scoped) and also have arthritus in both knees. The machine is great in that you can exercise with out all your weight being put on your joints. The only draw back is that I am tall with bad knees and the machine is too low to the ground for me to comfortably get on and off. Wish it was higher off the ground.
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Quiet Operation, Sturdy
Cons: Uncomfortable, Too low to the ground
I would recommend this to a friend!

I would buy this product again and again

I was told by my co-workers that my total gym will be a clothes hanger, but I fooled them. I love my total gym and it is set-up right in my living room in front of the TV so I can exercise with your DVD's. I get up each morning at 3:30am and workout for about 45 minutes before going to work. I just can't pinpoint one exercise that I like, I love everything about my total gym and have lost 8 pounds since I have received it.... Ps, and one of my co-workers has bought there own total gym and loves it as well. Thank you for making such an incredible machine

I like the convenience of the total gym, plus the variety of the exercises it allows me to do. I am still concern about whether or not I am getting enough cardio.

TOTAL GYM

Verified Purchase:No
I have had a bowflex in the past that i really enjoyed - I considered the cost and purchased the Total Gym - I find it uncomfortable to use due to the constan t moving up and down of the board to get the right amount of resistance. I have a compressed disk and the pulling while bending over is uncomfortable. In the past I have worked out at least an hour a day, but now Im down to 3 times a week.
Pros: Comfortable, Simple to use, Easy To Set Up
Cons: Hard To Use
