My husband and I have the Total Gym set up permanently in the 2nd bedroom/office. We use it at least 5 mornings a week - I don't feel I'm fully awake if I haven't done a session on the Total Gym ! We mostly use the 6-8 Minute a Day Workout Routines, interspersed with the 18 exercises from Dan. We also do the r-e-a-l s-l-o-w routine once a week. All the exercises are challenging. The benefits were obvious within 2 weeks, as far as body shape is concerned. I went from an 8 to a 6 really quickly. (I'm heading towards a 4 !). And, my doctor has noted substantial improvements in my blood pressure, pulse, and body fat ratio (now 24%, was up as high as 35% ).
Pros: Comfortable, Body changing, Sturdy, Challenging, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens, Easy To Set Up
I would recommend this to a friend!

I use the total gym as a supplement to weights. I have limited space and this helps me get tone with having a bunch of weights everywhere. I have 2 cons about this: it takes a bit of time to switch positions and the set up instructions weren't that clear. Other than that it's an awesome product. I would highly recommend it.
Pros: Sturdy, Strengthens, Comfortable, Good Alternate To Weights, Quiet
Cons: Constant Position Change, Bulky

I alternate between the upper body core and lower body cards. I also use the total body makeover three or four times a week. I started with the starter program which is more like a circuit. I did have to replace the handle but the replacements work better. I lost around 75pounds combining Total Gym workouts, cardio and more sensible dieting.Never stepped into a gym.
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Easy Storage, Comfortable, Useful Exercise Cards, Strengthens, Sturdy, Quiet

We've had our total gym for about a month and love it. It's nice to be able to work out in the comfort of your own home, still trying to figure out some of the exercises but other than that love it.

Love our total gym! It really allows me to work the chest and back muscles I couldn't get with traditional free weights. This piece of equipment may be the final stepping stone to fianlly being able to do an un-assisted pullup (which until now has seemed impossible due to weak chest and back muscles). Once you get the hang of folding and unfolding it from the storage position, it's quite simple. I also really like the abdominal moves and glute & hamstring work you can do on it. Great addition to any home gym. Good for beginners (my 62 year old mom) or for the person who already works out regularly. Try it!

I brought mine three weeks ago. I was concern about my lost of strength and feel of the muscles in my body. I use to workout on free weights until my aortia surgery in April 2004. I have been just walking for cardio benefits since my surgery. I saw the Infomerical for the TotalGym. I was going to change the channel because I thought it was an old one with Chuck Norris on it - until he mention Dispendable 2. Yes, Chuck was in better shape than everyone else!! That changed my mind about the TotalGym. The TotalGym allows me to workout without any skelator chest pain. My wife loves the firmness that my muscles now have. I have a ways to go before I can go "shirtless", but I (and my doctor) are happy with my progress thus far.

I had thought a few times about buying a Total Gym, and I am so glad I did it. In fact, I should have done it long ago. I have had two rotator cuff surgeries and both times the doc said my upper body and the shoulder muscles that hold the shoulder need to be strengthened. I had heard enough of that and going to a fitness center and always trying to get on the machines when they are busy is crazy. I have been working with my Total Gym, and working at my own pace, building up my strength. So far, I love it.
