Buying the Total Gym has saved us money!

from Huntsville, Arkansas
I have had a neck fusion and lower back fusion and have been in physical therapy for over 2 years and this gym has replaced the equipment I was traveling 1 1/2 hrs to use. Instead of once a week, I now can work out anytime I choose. My husband can also use this gym for weight loss and cardio building. We are in our 60s and I believe it is going to change our quality of life. Thanks!
Pros: Quiet Operation, Comfortable, Strengthens, Sturdy, Easy To Use, Easy To Set Up, Easy Storage
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy for my husband and I to grab a workout with my daughter playing nearby. I have had major back problems since a motorcycle accident in 2003. It has been great to be able to do something that doesn't cause me pain. The best investment we could have made.
Pros: Strengthens, Fun, Easy To Use
Cons: Bulky

Ready to go, easy to use

I am overweight and bought The Total Gym to do strength training at home. As advertised, it comes assembled and ready to use, which is great! I haven't folded it up and slid it in a closet, because it's a lot heavier than I imagined, but I guess that's a good thing. It's very user-friendly and I really appreciate the excellent starter workout dvd. The instructors are very good and their directions clear and understandable. I am very happy to have made this purchase!

Total Gym is the TOTAL FITNESS PACKAGE

For the last several years I had been doing cardio only (treadmill 4 times/week) when I finally decided to add strength training. After months of research on various types of in-home "machines", I decided on the Total Gym based on the pros I listed above. I also have a couple of friends that use the Total Gym and their feedback helped me in my decision to acquire one. Currently, I use the Total Gym 3 times a week for approximately 35 minutes each time. I learned from when I started using the treadmill to start out conservative and take your time adjusting to using it. Slow and steady use will give you confidence and show improvement over the long-haul versus trying to achieve big results in an unrealistic/unsustainable amount of time. The things I like most about the Total Gym is its versatility, efficiency, and overall effectiveness. The scalability of the machine allows me to increase the nature and level of my workout as I progress - at my own pace. I also like the fact that I can do this in my home on a time schedule I control. The thing that isn't so great is the contstant changing of the attachments for the various exercises, but this is a very minor annoyance to me. The Total Gym is like any other "tool": In order to get positive results it must be properly used on a consistent basis. I've been using Total Gym for 2 months and can see and feel a difference.
Pros: Easy To Use, Easy To Set Up, Sturdy, Strengthens
Cons: Noisy Operation, Uncomfortable

Great for the whole family

I purchased the Total Gym for myself, however, my son, daughter and her boyfriend all use it! We are literally waiting in line for our turn. The exercises on the Total Gym are difficult enough to challenge you, yet can be made easy for novices so I don't feel defeated. We are challenging each other to raise the height to increase the intensity. Thanks for a great product!

Total Gym is Great

We have only had the total gym for a few weeks, so we are still learning how to use it. We really like how each excercise flows into the next. Since it's only been a few weeks, i have found that i'm starting to feel my body tone up. We also love how it doesn't take up the whole room, it's some compact. Thanks total gym!

Excellent Product

I use this 3 times a week. I like the fact that it only takes me 15 minutes to do a complete workout and the directions for exercises are easy to follow. I also like the fact that I cannot get hurt by lifting too much weight. It's a great design that doesn't allow for me to go beyond what I'm capable of doing.
Pros: Sturdy, Quiet Operation, Easy To Set Up, Strengthens, Comfortable, Easy Storage, Easy To Use

Total Gym: Great for All Ages
on March 17, 2010

from Indianapolis, IN
I love that the Total Gym is so simple and easy to use. My primary goal is toning/strengthing in a low impact manner. I am over 50 now, but was a competitive athlete in my younger years, so fitness is important to me. I have been delighted that both of my sons (ages 26 and 13) are also enjoying the equipement and the design is such that we can quickly go from "Huh-ra" workouts for my former marine, to "testing my limits" for my young man, all the way to old lady routines for me (Mom). We all get what we need quickly and easily from the equipement without struggling to add/remove weights or need for spotters. Now we just have to get my husband to try it...he thinks he is too big (6'4", 225lbs), but I'm not convinced.
Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Set Up, Strengthens, Sturdy, Quiet Operation, Easy To Use
