Total Gym

I am totally angry about this product. First of all, it's not a simple set up like advertised. Next, when I called for assistance, they tell me to lift the Gym up above my knees and drop it hard on the ground. A $700 piece of equipment that I'm purchasing, and I'm being advised to slam hard on the ground to break it apart so I can set it up.

There have been so many problems with this equipment with other customers that their service department resorts to slamming it on the ground. Then after all that, they tell me I'll have to pay $50 to send it back. Are you freaking kidding me?

Well, needless to say, the Gym IS GOING BACK, and they are paying full shipping. Five thumbs down for this piece of equipment. Then to top everything off, she tells me I'm overwhelmed. That's right, I'm angry, but never overwhelmed.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I took it out of the box, and the glider fell off and hit a table. I really liked that table. It is supposed to be assembled, but I am looking at half a dozen of pieces that I cannot get on. I am returning this, and cannot wait to get this piece of crap out of my house.

Horrible. I've been working out all my life and love buying different equipment, so I was excited for Total Gym to arrive. But when I assembled it and began the workout, I soon realized that this was a dangerous piece of equipment. It clanged and shook all over the place. The work out DVD that came with it was totally geared towards men all chest exercises. If Chuck Norris uses this piece of garbage every day, I'm the tooth fairy. Remember he is getting well paid for endorsing it.

I love my Total Gym, however, the creator of that pitiful squat stand on my 1600 should be ashamed. If you make exercise equipment and squatting is one thing you can do, you don’t put a stand on that can and will cause immediate injury due to your knees flowing OVER your toes and causing you to buy ANOTHER more expensive stand that may or may not fit! And if you really want to be broke, you can just buy the newer model that already has the proper squat stand attachment. So looking at it from this light seems like job security for somebody because if you want to avoid injury, you’ll buy the proper squat stand!

I ordered Total Gym on a Thursday. That night I saw QVC was advertising their $2200.00 model with accessories and pilates for only $100.00 more. I ordered the upgrade from QVC.

I then called Total Gym to cancel the $799.00 model, which was their lower quality machine. No answer after calling Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. You can only cancel thru their customer service department. On Monday, 2 minutes from their office opening, they told me it is too late to cancel! You call them at all hours to give them your money but can only cancel thru customer service.

Now I have 2 machines. I have not received a shipping notice telling me when it will ship or when I will receive it.

Very disappointed in their lack of service.

I decided to order the weight bar attachment from Total Gym Direct for my Total Gym Fit. I never received it. When I called, they were not helpful. I asked about a refund. They replied they only issue refunds for returned items. How is that supposed to happen? I never got it.
