I'm just into the first week, but this is a great machine. Working on the incline is gentle, but as demanding as you want it to be. I'm sore all over, but that's because it is easier to keep up than to catch up. Buy one. Use it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Total Gym has been my savior for many years

I bought my old Total Gym YEARS ago from Penney's after talking to two physicians (married to each other) who were in incredible shape...and claimed Total Gym was the reason. I keep my old one, battered and torn by me and grandchildren, in the basement and use it, esp in winter, to keep myself in good, if not great, shape. It's simply the easiest and best way I know to FORCE myself to exercise. I have recommended it to friends who've bought newer versions; time I do the same!

We purchased this for me(47) with severe Arthritis as it would be helpful to keep me moving and strengthening wouldn't hurt. Now, the entire family(11 people) are each taking turns using it for everything from toning, strengthening back muscles, even my husband who is healing from a broken leg has found a way to use it in his recovery and do some of the techniques shown to him by his physical therapist. I may end up getting a second one as I am having a hard time getting my time in with everyone else using it.

Have only had the machine for 2 weeks but it works well! Came fully assembled as promised. Easy to store and set up. Being 6' tall and 225 lbs. it gives me plenty of resistance for exercises. I don't look like Chuck Norris....yet.

I am loving my Total Gym! I find it versatile, easy to use and best of all, very effective. I'm toning quite fast all over my body and it isn't hard on my joints or too difficult to perform most exercises. I really love the helpful exercise cards to guide every workout for a complete set. My only regret is I didn't buy this 10 years ago!!!
Something special about how the Total Gym feels when using it is important but not really mentioned in all the ads. The gliding motion of your body on the seat is much more satisfying then a static seat where you move one body part. It's still strenuous, but you get to move back and forth while working out, so it feels good and you are truly using your whole body for resistance. I like that feature the most because I can feel all my muscles working to help with the exercise, not just overloading one part. Watch your back though, if you have a bad back you must be careful to sit up straight and don't overdo it. My back is shot, but I'm careful and already feel strengthened in my low, mid and upper back muscles which is exactly what I need. Thanks Total Gym - love it!!!

I'm 72 and my husband is 78. We had no problem setting up the Total Gym, and with the super accompanying tapes and instructions, we got right into the workouts, no problem. The Gym needs a fair amount of space, but it is so worth it. Anyone can progress as his/her own pace, and we find it's something we look forward to every day. Can't recommend it highly enough!
