Total Gym XL7 Home Gym This Bundle Includes Workout DVDs

I bought this XL7 via Amazon about four month ago. I use it almost everyday for about 15 minutes. What a difference it has made for me. I like doing the pull ups, presses, leg pressess, lie back curls, tricep pushdowns, etc. I rotate two diffrent programs one day then the next. I use the Total Gym in conjunction with a slat board for dumbell benchpresses and crunches. As I said, what a difference. I the exercises on the total gyn can be done quickly without stopping so you get a circuit / aerobic training effect. Good for the breathing and building strength. I'm 63 years old and this is the perfect low impact / old man workout machine. I don't think it matters on your age though. If you do the excercises and do them right, it will kick your backside. Good work out, feel better. Worth the money, Better then spending a 1/4 of your day at the gym. 15 to 20 minutes a day, and done.

Easy to use, multiple variations of exercises, love the abs attachment, price is very good even compared to other total gyms

I love this total gym. It stretches you out while toning your muscles. It folds up so you can put it in a closet or under your bed when not in use.

I've been going to PT for piriformis syndrome, and bought this to transition to a home program. They have an industrial size Total Gym at PT. I've been more than pleased with this model! It's lightweight enough to move around, yet sturdy enough that I think I will get many years of service out of it. This model comes with several different attachments-- the ab boards are great! I took the exercise guide to my PT, and she gave this equipment the thumbs up. For my issue, she green-lighted the squats, leg pulls and ab board exercises. Of course I've been using this for other areas too: arms, chest, back. My PT recommended building my back to support the glute and piriformis. I've had this for 3 months now, and I have gained 10 lbs of muscle, lost 2 inches from my waist, and am managing the flare ups of the piriformis syndrome. Best purchase I could have made for my health!

Brought this item to ease into working out again. Owned the original total gym product over twenty years ago, and gave it away. I am enjoying this model, have just about all the attachments, and they do give me a good workout. I'm very happy with this total gym model.

The Total Gym is as easy to use as advertised - straight from the box. All the moving parts work smoothly throughout the complete range of motion. As a tall man at 6' 7", I was anxious to see if my size would be a limiting factor in any way. IT WAS! Exercises that require me to face away from the post or sit far down on the board do not allow for full range of motion. Without any suggestion from the manufacturer, I attached a 12" piece of chain to each grip. All that is needed is two 12 inch pieces of chain and two connecting links just like the ones already on the machine. With this adaptation to the Total Gym, I couldn't be happier with the product. I'm already seeing noticeable changes in my weight, strength and endurance. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that can't make it to the gym.

Ordered this Total Gym 3 months ago and with a balanced diet and daily workouts (which are fun) I've dropped 28 pounds. I look and feel ALOT better. Great definition in my chest and arms.

It takes a while to get use to using all of the accessories but once you get the hang of it you can really do a good workout, especially for upper body. This is light-weight and doesn't take a lot of room. It should last for years and is reasonable priced compared to some other total gyms that do the same thing. I recommend.
