Worth Every Penny!

I'm a middle-aged, cancer survivor and 65 pounds overweight. To say that I'm out of shape is an understatement. I recently had my "A-HA" moment and decided to make a lifestyle change for the better, starting with the Total Gym. I took advantage of the 50% off special w/ the monthly payment plan (thankfully!) for the XL and received it almost 2 weeks ago. Even though I'm out of shape and my endurance isn't as strong as I would like it to be, I haven't missed a day of exercising with it. With other exercise equipment or videos purchased in the past, I would have been "over it" by now. Not with the Total Gym. I know I have a long road ahead to reach my weight loss and fitness goals, but now these goals seem achievable and not so far out of reach. Thank you Total Gym!!! ***I know my review (Easy to use/Hard to use) seems contradictory, but let me explain to those of you considering purchasing the Total Gym. It is very easy to set up and very easy to use, but to follow along with the videos takes a "swift dexterity" that I just don't have (yet). You constantly have to adjust your Total Gym to different levels/settings and add, remove or change out different accessories during your workout and this takes time. So in that respect, it's a bit difficult.
Pros: Easy To Use, Strengthens, Sturdy, Comfortable, Quiet Operation, Easy To Set Up
Cons: Hard To Use, Bulky, Easy use hard to adjust
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to use and doesn't wake up my wife. Low impact but I feel the burn at my current setting with plenty of settings left for a harder workout. Changing the setup for different excerises is a snap. Has a larger footprint then I was expecting but all I need to do is move a desk to the other end of the room.
Pros: Easy To Use, Easy To Set Up, Comfortable, Sturdy
Cons: Large Footprint

I was just recently retired and Total Gym is helping me keep out of the "couch potato" mode. I try to use it about 4-5 times a week. I highly recommend playing the "Start It UP!" DVD as soon as you get it -- it was very helpful. I like that it can be used in a small area and it folds up and out of the way. Also, it's low impact and you have many exercises to choose from. The only thing is that it's sort of heavy to relocate, but it's a high quality apparatus and worth the cost.
Pros: Strengthens, Easy To Set Up, Easy Storage, Comfortable, Quiet Operation, Easy To Use, Sturdy
Cons: Bulky

The total gym is a wonderful one in all piece of equipment. You just need to use the exercise cards and find the exercises that work for you. Setup can be a little confusing but look at the video. Initially, the first few times on the Total Gym may seem arkward but use it a few times and it will soon feel normal. It took me about a week to feel comfortable but now it's like I've been using it all my life. Also, for the person who thinks it's to hard or to easy believe me it's not neither one of those. Between your body weight and the levels of resistance this is a great all in one system.
Pros: Strengthens, Easy To Set Up, Sturdy, Easy Storage, Comfortable, Quiet Operation, Easy To Use
Cons: Longer than I thought
