Its time to get in shape. The whole family uses the Total Gym either for general fitness or strength training. The Total Gym is easy to set up and has a variety of workouts. The space we have for the gym is not very large and takes up most of the room but it is easy to set up and break down so its been no problem.
Pros: Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Strengthens, Easy To Use
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the product, but I see there's ankle apparatus with a rope and there were no directions on how to use it. I watched all three videos-especially the one on how to put the gym together and what is available to use. There was nothing about the ankle wraps or how to use them. I ended up seeing it in a commercial with Chuck Norris-I wish more of that info was on your video.
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Strengthens, Sturdy, Comfortable, Easy Storage, Quiet Operation
Cons: Bulky

Best thing I ever bought for myself. I began using my Total Gym XLS on January 17th, 2009. I measured myself on that day. On Feb 15th, 2009 I re-measured and found that I lost 3" around my waist and 1" around the " bra back fat" that us women hate. Not to mention I've begun to tone quite a bit. My arms are becoming nice and solid instead of jiggly. My legs and buns have also begun to tone quite nicely. I use the Total Gym 4 days a week and run 2 days. I love it! I've recommended it to everyone I know.

This is the first exercise equipment I have ever purchased. I had been a very infrequent exerciser (work was my exercise)until I got the total gym. It was easy to use from the start. I started with the 6 day workout with DVD, and now I'm doing them on my own---and have increased my strength level substantially. I have been using it daily for about a month & I can see muscle definition that I haven't ever seen. I actually look forward to working out. To be able to say that I do 100 sit-ups a day is crazy! I used to not be able to do 2! I can't wait to see the future results!

Never too late!

After several years of watching Chuck and Christie wishing and wanting to get fit as I laid on my couch, I finally ordered the Total Gym because it had a 60 day return. I figured if I did not start using it on a regular basis, I could return it. It arrived the night prior to my leaving for the Christmas holidays for two weeks, so I did not even unbox the equipment until after the New Year. There went two weeks of my 60 days. On my return, I opened it and since this couch potato is not mechanical, it did take me a while to put it together--I advise other like myself to watch the dvd and read the step by step several times prior to trying to set this up. It is heavy and bulky and the fear of hurting my hand made for an anxious setup. Finally, I did it! I watched the getting started and tried to do some of the exercises. At 197 pounds (50 lbs overweight)and with absolutely no muscle strength, I could only do 1 or 2 of each of the 18 exercises. I also tried doing Rosalies "for women" after a week and got up to 3 or 4 reps. It took me four years to get into my unfit, overweight and always tired, so I set a doable goal of being 50 pounds lighter and very fit by December 31, 2009. In one month I have lost one size, I am digging jeans and slacks out of the back of the closet that have not seen the light of day in a year or two. I am now doing the Pilates series, alternating with the 18 exercise work-out. I cannot complete all the reps in each of these series yet, but each week I increase in strength. To make me use the equipment, I have found what will work for me, set up in the middle of my living room in front of the TV. When I lay down to watch TV, Total Gym is in the way, reminding me to get on the machine, and that it will only take a few minutes 20 at the most to get healthy and fit again. Thank you Total Gym, Chuck and Christie for inspiring a 65 year old(66 in April) grandmother to get strong, healthy, fit able to look and feel good again. I tell everyone who comments on how my appearance is improving that Total Gym does work, it is not inexpensive but it is worth the price as it is an investment on my health and appearance.

We have had the total gym for about 3 months and I am so amazed at how well it works. I was very sceptical at the beginning but since I have been using it I can't believe it. I am dedicated to using it daily. I look forward to exercise now where I never would have thought about it before. It is a total body workout. We use the cards and the videos. I think the videos are alittle better than just using the cards. Since I have been using the video I am amazed at the change. I would definately tell everyone to get one and enjoy excercise.

Great machine! I watched the infomercial for years and finally took the plunge, I was in a place in my life where I could afford it. Its a shame that it cost so much, I know many people who would love it..but just can't afford it. That is the biggest downfall to this product.
