Total Body Transformation!
on February 10, 2014
Posted by: Schew
from Wilmington, DE
I bought the Total Gym XL around the holidays because I wanted to start the new year out by eating better and exercising. I know that a lot of people say the same thing, but never truly commit. I have always enjoyed working out, but I never get the time to the gym. I decided that if I purchased the Total Gym- I was going to give it my best effort. I have been impressed by the results so far. I figured that it was going to take me several months to get 6-pack abs, but after one month they are starting to appear. I am not by any circumstance in model shape, but the belly that I used to have is quickly shrinking. I have been more conscious about what and when I eat, but I have never gotten results as rapidly as I am now. I like the videos that were included, and I really like the circuit training routine. Although I feel that I could have gotten it cheaper if I had been a bit more patient-if you consider the cost of gym membership, then I feel the price that I paid is well worth it. My only complaint about the product itself is it squeaks in certain positions. It can be annoying, but it gives me a great workout, so I can't be to disappointed.
Pros: Easy To Use, Easy Storage, Comfortable, Easy To Set Up, Sturdy, Strengthens
Cons: Expensive, Noisy
I would recommend this to a friend!

We love our Total Gym!

We use our Total Gym almost every day. You can do a light training or work up a sweat. For the most part it is easy to use, i do have trouble attaching some of the accessories but with practice it gets better. My only complaint would be the use of the leg pully. It doesn't fit our ankles comfortably so those exercises are a little awkward. But for the most part we are very happy and glad we purchased this piece of equipment.
Pros: Quiet, Strengthens, Comfortable, Sturdy, Easy To Use
Cons: Hard To Set Up

Great exercise gym

The DVD's are a great place to start to learn how the different exercises are done. I work out with a friend so we watch the DVD's to learn the exercise and then use the cards to do our workout routine each day. It adapts to different ability levels easy by adjusting the height of the bench. There are so many exercises that can be done using the gym you don't get bored of doing the same thing all the time.
Pros: Quiet, Sturdy, Easy To Use, Comfortable, Easy Storage, Strengthens
Cons: Hard To Set Up

This thing is great

I went to see a kidney specialist and his suggestion was to get control of my diabetes and lose weight or I could be looking at serious issues in 5-6 years. I didn't need any more motivation than that. The question was what exercise equipment did we want. We researched every thing we could and decided on the Total Gym. It has been great. the exercise routines are easy to understand and complete. I don't dread getting on the machine. If this works out the way I think it will, it could very well be saving my life. At a minimum preventing issues with my kidneys down the road.
Pros: Comfortable, Strengthens, Easy To Set Up, Quiet, Sturdy, Easy To Use

I bought this product so I can continue to enjoy my retirement. I was at a crossroads. I could remain overweight and out of shape and give up activities that I enjoy - like golf, biking,sailing, and skiing. Or I could lose the weight, get the muscles back in shape, and enjoy my retirement. After a month, so far so good. I am already more flexible and feel better than I have in 10 years.And I enjoy it. And my wife is using it now, too.That is a miracle!
Pros: Easy Storage, Quiet, Convienent, Do The Time Get Results, For All Degrees Of Fitnes, Don't Need Expensive Gym, Sturdy, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Strengthens
Cons: None As Long As I Use It, NONE, Noneas Long As I Use It

I you my TotalGym 2 days a week for strengthening and 2 days a week for circuit training. Really easy and gives a great workout. I am a P.T. therefore skeptical of TV fitness machine, but this one is great! I have a gym at work, but would rather workout on my new TotalGym in the comfort of my home. I can workout my upper & lower extremities as well as my trunk, strengthening, endurance and plyometrics all safely and effectively. I was so impressed, I purchased a second TotalGym for my son and his wife.
Pros: Fast Transition, Easy To Use, Quiet, Sturdy, Easy Storage, Comfortable, Diverse, Easy To Set Up

My husband and I are both using this regularly, which is wonderful because we'd gotten bored with the gym and were not working out very often. The variety of exercises is a big plus, and it's pretty easy to shift from one to another. It is a heavy machine for me, but I believe it will become easier with the works outs I am doing. Love it!

I've had the Total Gym for approximately three weeks, I use it twice a day and I can already see a difference. I like the fact that you use your body weight as opposed to bulky metal weights to work out with. Minus the fact that you get your first workout with setting certain parts up and learning how to expand and collapse the gym, it's well.worth the money...without the expense of a "total gym".
Pros: Exercise Charts Are Great, Work Out Dvd's Are Great, Sturdy, Strengthens, Quiet, Easy To Use, Easy Storage, Comfortable
Cons: Hard To Set Up
