Lives up to expectations

I use the Total Gym to lower my cholesterol, strengthen my muscles and improve blood pressure and heart rate. I have not been disappointed. Since beginning this type of exercise all my numbers have improved and osteopina has vanished. In addition, I have more energy and look great. My budget has also gotten a slimming effect b/c I was able to cancel my local gym memebership. I find it much easier to exercise with my total gym at home, it saves time in travel, money for gas, and wear and tear on my car. I love my total gym and I am so glad that I finally ordered it. It is so sturdy that I am sure it will last for many years. I leave the total gym set up all the time. The only thing I find difficult to do is fold it up and then unfold it the next day. This is far from a draw back b/c it is not in the way and it saves time to leave it set up. I am sure if I folded it up more often the process would become less of a chore for me.
Pros: Sturdy, Quiet Operation, Comfortable, Easy To Use, Easy Storage, Strengthens, Easy To Set Up
I would recommend this to a friend!

Makes it easy to get Motivated

from Hamilton, AL
It's easy and effective enough to keep me motivated, because I once was so unmotivated. I do the 18 exercise tape 3 times a week and have more energy and feel better about myself. Can't say I've lost weight but have went down a size. I need to work alot more on abs to help my worst problem. I have ordered the ab cruncher to help more with this area. I am so glad I ordered the Total Gym.
Pros: Sturdy, Strengthens, Comfortable, Easy To Set Up, Easy Storage, Easy To Use, Quiet Operation

DO Try This At Home!

from Edmond, OK
I have tried gym workouts with a trainer, but they push me too hard, making the experience miserable, so I discontinue. And there seems to always be an impatient "muscle man" standing around waiting for the machine I'm using, making me feel totally uncomfortable! I finally decided to make my own private workout room at home. Now I have dedicated a small extra bedroom to the Total Gym. The pressure is off to try to look like a "gym babe", or to work harder than is comfortable for me, and by leaving the Total Gym set up, I can workout anytime I choose! I workout while I watch my favorite TV programs, which keeps me working longer. I have already noticed a big difference in my muscle tone, and the pounds are dropping off, too. I have recommended the Total Gym to many people already. I love it!

Best fitness equipment ever.

Having been involved in fitness training for over 30 years with my own home fitness equipment and on one occassion was a member of a health and fitness club, I find the Total Gym to be the most efficient and easy way to achieve my fitness goals. The total presentation of videos, cue cards, and accessories made the transition from health club to home very smooth . I spend 4 to 5 days a week on the Total Gym.
Cons: NONE

The problem i am having with the machine is being as heavy as i am 5'9" about 240 some of the exercises are not comfortable and having a bigger than average mid section it makes it hard to get up and down. I am still looking forward to seeing how good of a machine it is, just need to lose enough weight to move around and not have to roll off everytime..
Pros: Quiet Operation, Sturdy, Easy To Set Up
Cons: Uncomfortable
