Been using the total gym for a few weeks. It arrived with smashed roller wheels, but it only took a week to receive replacements. The TG works ok, but to follow the exercise routines you have to hook and unhook the pulley from the board. This is VERY DIFFICULT to do and discourages following the routine. Also the board roll is bumpy not smooth as you would expect. On the plus side, the exercises improve flexibility and work well for men and women. So it's better than nothing, but at a high price.
Customer Review: So Awesome!
I bought this because I live in Minnesota and the winters are horrible. I have skipped on so many workouts because of the cold. I had to get three things this year in order to keep my workout going...One was a Treadmill. Two was a exercise body ball. Now the last thing, this piece of equipment..The total Gym! I was nervous about purchasing this product because of so many failed home gyms in the past. Would I use it? Is it hard to set up? Is it durable? All those questions ran through my head. Before I continue, I am a Male, 25 years old, 6ft 3, 215lbs, and average strength. Keep that in mind as you read. I am getting a great upper-body workout from this machine. I have noticed my back, arms, and chest all have significant gains with the help of this machine. I am committed to getting healthy this year. If you are, keep in mind, this product will not be the only thing you need to use. I have a treadmill so I can do some cardio, but running on the street/track is more preferred. I have the exercise ball to get some pushups/situps going. I also have WiiFit to add some fun into the routine. I also Ski in the winter and Bike in the summer. What I mean from that above paragraph is that this product will not change you overnight. It does work and if you combine using this with healthy eating, cardio, and some leg workouts somewhere else, (This machine does come with some leg workouts, but they are not enough for me), then you will see some gains. This does take up some space...Think roughly 10 feet. Super thin though. This is also pretty heavy to move. I have a room where I just keep it set -up. You can move it if you want to, but I like to keep it out so I remind myself to use it. Your hands smell like rubber from the padding after you are done. I suggest using some workout gloves. I had one minor part break during shipping. I will call the supplier and get a new part. It was a plastic knob that goes over the locking mechanism. I can still use the machine without this part, but it's annoying trying to adjust the height without this knob. This machine is definitely worth the price. I am very satisfied. I have noticed some gains, but I also do a variety of exercises with the above mentioned items. I guarantee you will not find what you are looking for if this is the only thing you work with. You need to combine some cardio and some leg work along with healthy eating. However, this mean is a lot more user-friendly than free weights and waiting in gym lines...Or in my case, not wanting to go outside to my car.
