I Really Like the Total Gym
on August 17, 2009

from Rowlett, TX
I'm 47 and while not obese, I am tired of having a round belly and being tired. I want to lose about 30 lbs and build some muscle tone. I really want to have a flat tummy again. I'm too lazy to go to a gym - it's such a hassle - it takes longer to get there, park, setup, change clothes, etc., than it does to exercise. Our office had space, and there was a good promotion, so we bought one of these to "give it a try." I had used a Total Gym when I had knee surgery for rehab and remembered that it was easy to use. When it arrived, it was setup in a snap just as promised. The videos were easy to follow, just as promised. I don't put it away so I can't comment on that. Within 1 week I noticed I was feeling better, eating less, and had more energy - no joke. But I hadn't lost any weight. My co-workers also noticed my better attitude. I would go work out during a lunch break. Our office also has a shower which makes it nice after the work out. After 2 weeks I was able to do two circuits of the starter routine. Very sweaty but it felt GOOD! Still no weight loss, but instead of a round ball under my shirt I felt the beginnings of some shape. I was VERY encouraged to continue. It's been about 10 weeks now, and I'm beginning to see the scale drop. My belt is two notches tighter, I've fit into an old pair of shorts! And I really feel great. A side benefit to me - I've always been a candyholic. Never met a candy I didn't like, and if no candy was available a sugar cube or packet was just fine. After about 3 weeks of Total gym, I noticed that I didn't have a candy craving anymore. I can't explain it, but it's just not there. A trip to the grocery store would always include a "reward" for me such as a chocolate bar or a dip into the bulk candy bins. Today I can walk right by it. During that third week I did dip into the bulk candy bin, just out of habit, and I really didn't like the taste. Probably no relation to the Total gym - perhaps it's just a reaction to actually doing some exercise - but it sure helps the overall goal. I love the fact that I can tailor the exercises to my strength level. If something is too hard, I can lower the angle and still get sweaty. I like that very much. I checked the box for "easy to use" and I meant it. The exercises are not difficult, and 15 reps is short enough so you don't get bored. I can't imagine doing 20 minutes of the same exercise on other machines. There are about 15 exercises in the starter routine, and I've since added 3 extras for abs. I really like my Total Gym.
Pros: Strengthens, Easy To Use, Comfortable, Easy To Set Up, Good exercises, Quiet Operation, Well-Rounded

I try and use the Total Gym 4-5 times per week. I find it easy to stick with, at least after one months use. I know I'm more physcially fit now than when I first started. The video exercise programs are very helpful.
Pros: Sturdy, Strengthens, Comfortable, Quiet Operation, Easy To Use, Easy To Set Up

I like to mix up my work out, working on target areas. It is so easy to move from one exercise to another. I enjoy how much stronger I feel and the way my body is shaping up. If it is out and someone comes over to visit they have to try it out, and I have a hard time getting them off.
Pros: Quiet Operation, Sturdy, Strengthens, Comfortable, Easy To Use, Easy To Set Up
Cons: Bulky
