Love this machine!!

from Mandan ND
So far I really like this machine. It's so easy to use and many of the workouts are completed in 20 minutes or less. I have found this machine is best when combined with fat burning and cardio exercises such as walking, dancing, etc. I am older (57) and it's harder for me to loose weight. I believe that's why the combination is better for me. I have NEVER been this toned!!
Pros: Easy To Use, Sturdy, Strengthens, Easy To Set Up, Quiet, Comfortable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Machine!

I love this machine. I owned one about 13 years ago, but during a move it was left behind and I've been craving another one. I have small children so leaving the house to work out is hard. I ordered this XLS from an ad on tv. I have it set up right in my livingroom, near the tv so I can use it with the dvd's. I absolutely love it. It works every single muscle in my body and just after one use I felt muscles I had forgotten about. It's easy on the joints, glides nicely, compact and gives you a complete workout. They even have a short routine in case your pressed for time. 5 stars!!
Pros: Comfortable, Strengthens, Sturdy, Easy To Set Up, Quiet, Easy To Use
Cons: NONE

A total gym put into one simple machine!

from Corbin, Kentucky
This is a great product. I have very poor eye sight, so setting up took me longer than expected. Once I got it set up, it was so easy even for me. I would recommend this to anyone at any fitness level and I have shown it off to family and friends. The sales team was helpful and delivery by FedEx was quick. The exercises are so smooth and flowing from one exercise to another is better than waiting for a machine at the gym. It has a wonderful design and it folds up so easily. I am glad I got it! I was also so impressed on what all it came with in the box. They sent everything!
Pros: Comfortable, Quiet, Easy To Use, Sturdy, Easy Storage, SMOOTH, Easy To Set Up
Cons: Nothing

Finally not another coathanger!

I have bought product after product and within weeks they have become coat hangers, clutter, and objects to bump my toes against. One week I couldn't sleep and watched informercials everynight..I researched and compared, and thought well at least with the Total Gym I can send it back if it becomes an object to further clutter my home. I was happily surprised with how addicting this machine is... I can do so many different excercises, I didn't believe it at first, but it is true- You can't get bored working out on this machine! I have already lost 15 lbs in a month and a half and that does not include inches! Pants I never thought I would wear again are sagging off of me. Within two weeks of using the Total Gym I was getting comments about how great I was looking...I use it three times a week (at least).. It successfully makes me feel guilty when I am laying on the couch watching tv when I know in less than 3 minutes I could have it set up and working out on it. When my family freaked at the price, I reminded them- the Total Gym is not a product it's an investment.. I have already recommended it to three other people who are considering buying one!
Pros: Sturdy, Comfortable, Quiet, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Strengthens
Cons: At First Hard To Set Up

It's a real workout
on April 22, 2013

from Sacramento, CA
I am a 51 year old man with knee issues from running for 30 years. I was also experiencing joint pain in my shoulders, elbows and hands as one would expect as we age. I have used free weights to train pretty aggressively for most of my life. About 2 years ago I had to stop running and training due to the joint pain and during that time went from 12% of body fat to about 24% with a weight gain from 135lbs to 160lbs. I was then diagnosed with Adrenal Insufficiency and put on Cortisol Replacement. Because Cortisol has a nasty way of converting everything to fat I needed to find a way to train again. I looked at MANY options going from one product to another, classes, videos and everything seemed to aggrivate my joints. I saw the 30-day deal on the Total Gym and figured I would give it a try. I have now been training on it for 6 weeks. In that time my body fat has dropped from 24% to 18% (1% a week) and I am down to 140 lbs. Where many of the other programs included plyometric exercises that would be impossible for me, the exercise cards included with the gym allowed me to create a workout that was challenging and joint friendly. Due to the incline I can even work my lower body without knee pain performing exercises like squats and leg curls. As someone who has trained free weights most of his life the total gym gives me the ability to create the same degree of intensity while providing a more complete body workout. I would recommend this product to anyone.
Pros: Quiet, Easy To Set Up, Comfortable, Sturdy, Strengthens, Easy To Use

Allowing an old dog to learn a new trick

from Denver, Colorado
For over 30 years I have been morbally obese. Around 16 years ago I had stomach reduction surgery at 500 lbs and any lost about 60 lbs. Over the last 15 years I have varied in weight. Then June 5th, 2012 I went on a controlled carb protien diet starting at 468 lbs and a A1c of 8.2 (out of control diabetes) by Jan 10th, 2013 I had lost down to 390 and the A1c was 5.4 (not considered diabetic). Now I don't have a toned body, but weak, stiff, and inflexible. With the TotalGym I am slowly strengthening, stretching, flexing and getting in shape. My goal this year is by Jan 2014 be under 300 lbs and be able to run and keep up with my grand kids. To be able to do my own yard work, home repairs and maybe car repairs. I have purchased other excercise systems in the past but always felt uncoordinated and a goof when tring to use them and keep up with the video. The TotalGym skips these feelings and I can keep up with the video. As I gain strength and loss weight, I look forward to doing the more advanced videos and keeping up with them. As I learn to be more coordinated again, I would like to start riding a bike, or go hiking or swimming, the skys the limit and the TotalGym is a stepping stone to achieving my success.
Pros: Strengthens, Easy To Use, Easy To Set Up, Sturdy, Easy Storage, Quiet, Comfortable
