Beware, not assembled at all.

By Carol Dorr, Laguna Woods, CA, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

Total Gyms are great!

By Strat Goodhue, Washington, Verified Reviewer

I have bought numerous exercise machines over the years and used free weights as well. About 12 years ago, I bought a Total Gym at a garage sale. I was hooked. The Total Gym is the first piece of exercise equipment that I've owned that didn't eventually become something to hang clothes on. I now own two XLS's. Even when you don't feel like exercising, you can talk yourself into doing a little work on the Total Gym (very different than free weights; they are so heavy). Once you get on the Total Gym, the next thing you know, you've had a great workout. It is great for cardio as well. Just switch from one exercise to another without taking breaks.

The Total Gym is by far the best piece of exercise equipment I've ever owned.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Angry

By Kelley Roberts, Georgia, Verified Reviewer

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

Love, love, love this machine!

By Joanne Fox, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I bought the Total Gym a few weeks ago and have been using it about five days per week. It has been years since I worked out and with the Total Gym, I am becoming much stronger through my core and legs. I find myself taking my bike out for a spin after some of my workouts. Before the Total Gym, I found biking hard. Now it's just enjoyable! I highly recommend this for anyone who, like me, found going to the gym something I couldn't motivate to do.

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

Enjoying it

By MMagaha, Alabama, Verified Reviewer

My sister first bought the Total Gym, and ended up giving it to me; I think she felt sorry for me. Lucky me! I was so excited to get it.

I'm almost 60 years old and have recently lost 50 lbs, and needed to tone up and build strength. The Total Gym allows me to work at my pace, and at my level. I appreciate that I am able to work out at home, where I am comfortable. The Total Gym is easy to maneuver, and I feel safe using it. The workout is challenging, but not so challenging I can't do it.

The Total Gym has helped me to build my strength and endurance level. I highly recommend anyone to try the Total Gym.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good product

By Stuart , Lancashire, UK

Saw this on TV and having limited space for exercise I bought one on eBay. Use it for 20 minutes three or four times a week and have had good results by following the exercise booklet. I've lost fat and have developed the muscle groups in my upper body. You can also do some good exercises for the legs to keep them in shape. Good piece of equipment which folds away easily for storage.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
