Product Description
ONE piece of equipment does it all, helping you lose weight, tone or build muscle, increase strength, get a cardio workout - and feel great. The Total Gym uses your own weight as resistance. You set the resistance level - higher to build muscle, lower to tone and slenderize. Total Gyms unique design allows you to easily move from one exercise to another - no weights to remove or add. You can even use it for Pilates and great cardio routines. No assembly required. It sets up in minutes and is a fun and easy way to reach your personal fitness goals!

5 out of 5 stars Total Gym - great workout!   September 21, 2008

I have been using the Total Gym XL for around 5 weeks. If you are a serious bodybuilder, this is probably not the home gym for you. But if you are looking to tone up and strenghten your whole body, or, if you are like me, over 55 and trying not to lose any more muscle mass :) this is GREAT piece of equipment! After just a couple days of getting used to the gym, it takes just seconds to change the resistance level, add or remove the wing attachment, or add or remove the cable pulley for the various exercises. The included DVDs, flip chart, and wall chart make it easy to tailor your workout to your personal goals. It is a well made piece of equipment and glides very smoothly. Improvements come quickly at first - I have already moved up a level of resistance in several exercises. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Total Gym XL Does ALL It Says and MORE!   June 30, 2010

I watched the Total Gym infomercials for, I must say, 3 or more years, before purchasing.
The first one I purchased, used, was the Total Gym 1500. I liked it, but the limitations (you cannot
add on accessories, Pilates, etc) was kind of disappointing, when I saw the Models XL and XLS.
I saw Christie Brinkley, bouncing up and down on that round pad, and I said I WANT THAT ONE.
(the 1500 does not have the padded squat stand).

So, I was finally able to get the model xl from someone who was moving out of state, and had
it listed for sale, I made a VERY low offer, and to my surprise, he accepted. He showed me how
to fold it up, and unfold (very different from the 1500), and I drove it home, set it up, and tried it out.
I fell in love instantly. I plan to lose about 60 pounds within the coming 8 months, and I know with
this by my side, I WILL DO IT.

VERY high quality, stable, safe. FUN! I have three DVDs waiting to teach me tons of new
exercises, and this XL included ALL the bells and whistles, which you have to purchase separately,
now I don't, LOL! You can feel it working from the first time you do ONE exercise. Plus, it is in your
home, so no "excuse" for not wanting to go to the gym, when it is in the next room!

I love it very much, and plan to maintain it with the proper care, oiling and cleaning.
If you are wondering if it is worth it. I would advise, wait until you can afford the best model that
you can spend for. XL for me, is perfect. I have heard the 2000 or 3000 are ok, too.
The 1500 is all right for a beginner but if you really want to work it BIG TIME, you will want
the accessories, and the 1500 won't take them.

Good luck with your choice, and Total Gym XL Rocks! :)

Set up was hard, no directions, and The pulley system was squeaky. I felt like I was going to fall each time I got on.
