Moved a boulder
on September 21, 2009

from Stow,OH
The Total Gym is easy to use, the exercises on the cards safe and sound. As a physical education teaching professional, personal trainer and competitve athlete, I have been convinced. I am usually very leary of fitness equipment and informercials, but my boulder has been moved by the results from the total gym. I have noticed increases in strength and flexibility, to compliment my running and cycling workouts.
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Strengthens, Comfortable, Sturdy, Easy To Use, Quiet Operation
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sleek product

The only negative is that one of the rubber/plastic insulators on the crunch attachemnt is warped, making it difficult to put on every time. I have to push it apart wiht my fingers to get around the metal rail. Also, one of the eye bolts for the cable was bent [...] I hope it does not cause problems later.
Pros: Comfortable, Sturdy, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Strengthens, Quiet Operation

Love it!

I have my Total Gym set up in my bedroom. I don't fold it up because I like to be able to use it whenever I have time... even if it's just for 10 minutes. I love that you can easily do six exercises, at 3 sets of 15 reps each, within that 10 minutes. I think the biggest reason people don't work out is that it's takes so much time to get TO the work out, or that there just isn't much time. I LOVE to have a full 30 minutes on my Total Gym, but it's not often possible. One thing I would like better is the way in which the work out cards are presented... instead of being loose, it would be great if they were punched with holes and placed in a small binder with tabs indicating the body parts on which they focus. That way, you can take out the cards you want to use in your workout, and place them at the front of the binder, until you're ready to change it. That way the cards don't get mixed up and I would use them a lot more often.
Pros: Strengthens, Comfortable, Quiet Operation, Sturdy, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Easy Storage

Exercising isn't necessarily supposed to be "easy" -- it's supposed to a "workout," after all. But this MACHINE is EASY...easy to understand, easy to use, and easy to get the "workout" we want.

I have been going to the gym for years, but wanted something that I could do at home after work. This is great, because I now have no excuse for not exercising. It's easy to set up, easy to use and gives an overall body workout. This was a great purchase.

Delivers on it's promise of compact and

Verified Purchase:No
I just had my first child and getting to the gym has become almost impossible. I used to be a gym-rat and really enjoyed strength training, so I really wanted something that could enable me to get good muscle conditioning but without having to devote an entire room to a large and bulky home gym. In addition, I wanted something that would be quiet enough and quick enough to do while my baby was napping downstairs. Plus, I also have a hip injury that prevents me from doing the high-impact workouts on many of those DVDs. So far, I have found the TG to be easy to use and full of variety in terms of the exercises that I can do on it, especially for the limited amount of space it takes up. I can head into my guest room for 15 minutes and get a good strength-conditioning workout. The only thing that's missing is the ability to really get my heart-rate up - I guess I need to buy the cycle attachment for that. The only downside I have found, as someone who has short legs, is that it's almost impossible for me to do the compound exercises. When I get my legs in-place, my arms can't do the upper-body component because I can't move far enough back for them to complete the motion. I think this limits my ability to do effective cardio on it too.
Pros: Easy To Use, Comfortable, Sturdy
Cons: Noisy Operation, Hard To Set Up

This machine is absolutely AMAZING!!!!

from Ballston Spa, NY
I am a Navy veteran who put on a few pounds after I left the service. I tried about every type of diet/exercise program on the market and none of them worked for me or my wife. I have bad knees and nerve damage in my elbows and need to use machines that are low impact. After the first 2 weeks of using my Total Gym and eating a healthy diet, I lost 5 pounds! I have been using my Total Gym every other day for 2 months now and I have lost 2 pant/shirt sizes and a total of 21 pounds. This machine will definitely change the way you will feel about working out. I hate working out and I actually look forward to my workout on my Total Gym. Also since I started working out only on the Total Gym, I have had less pain in my knees and elbows. This is an amazing, easy to use product and I think everyone should have one.
Pros: Easy Storage, Quiet Operation, Easy To Set Up, Sturdy, Strengthens, Easy To Use, Comfortable
