Reviews

Delighted -- with product and service. It arrived faster than advertised - price was right, machine works

I have had various home gym equipment, including a bow flex. I purchased this because of space and it also looked like it offered a variety of workouts. It was easy to assembly out of the box but I found it very cumbersome to work with. I also enjoy the fluidity of the bowflex. This was very akward for me and I found that I dreaded it. After a couple of weeks I couldn't stand it any longer and sent it back. I did try it repeatedly during those weeks to see if it was just a learning curve and would start to be less cumbersome and more fluid. But for me, it never got better. I was just grateful that I could return it.

Easy to use right out of the box. It is heavy, but definitely manageable. There is a start up DVD that shows you exactly how to set it up right out of the box. You will be working out with in less than 30 minutes, perhaps less if you don't worry about putting away the packing material and accessories. Plenty of workout videos to watch, and workout along with the video. The workout chart, and workout deck of cards clearly illustrates how to do exercises properly, and is easy to follow. There is a wide variety of exercises to perform, with variations to work the same muscle. There are included workout routines, in addition to the routines in the DVDs, to get you going. i find that their is enough resistance to challenge me for now. I intend to use it for general fitness improvement and muscle toning, not for body building to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Total Gym seems solid. It is heavy, though not unmanageably so. There is a safety mechanism to keep the Total Gym from collapsing, which is easy, and not obstructive. The glide board is very comfortable and gives plenty of head support. The foam pads have enough cushioning, and is comfortable as well. I find it easy to fold and put away, although I do tend to leave it out since I use it several times a week.

We had seen so many different types of equipment that we didn't know which ones really provided an excellent workout without killing us in the process. My wife and I were very happy when we received this product with minimal setup (10 minutes) and we were following the DVD moments afterward. What a great workout! We also have a bowflex, but this new equipment can do things the bowflex can't. We use them in unison and recommend the Total Gym to anyone willing to workout 15 minutes every other day.

I love the Total Gym XLS! I use to be into body building and I worked out with weights allot, but the problem with weights is that they tend to put allot of stress on your joints and if your not careful you can drop plates on yourself or hurt yourself badly with them. Some people think that if you're into body building that you can't use the Total Gym to build huge muscles, but that's not true! Because many times even in the world of body building it's not "How Much" weight you lift, but "How" you lift that counts! With a little know how the Total Gym XLS with the optional weight bar can easily give you more than enough weight to start building serious muscle mass fast! For example, bear with me for just a little bit while I go into detail in regards to its serious resistance potential. To start things off the maximum weight limit for the XLS is rated at 400 pounds. Now just to give you an idea, no matter if your using the pulley cables or not, along with your own body weight you will also be lifting the weight of the glide board itself which is somewhere between 15 to 25 pounds, but I'm not positive on that, so for the sake of discussion lets say the glide board is 20 pounds. If you use the optional weight bar with weights and you add on, lets say, 100 pounds, you're basically lifting a 120 pound glide board along with your own body weight! Now, if you do the math, you will understand better why I say that the Total Gym "Can" be used for the serious Body Builder for serious muscle building!
