Total Gym Basic Demonstration

[chargerman]

I in a couple months will be 68, I am 5’8” and weight 175 so not really that overweight according to the experts and my doc. Reason is for years I have walked miles mostly on treadmill along with riding a stationary bike. I have both at home but also have access to a gym at work. Most days get up at 4 am and do my cardio. I am diabetic and most days take 4 shots of insulin and mostly keep my numbers in check. Never been much of a weight lifting person although have done some but not often. I pondered on the Total Gym for a long time and it looked like a great device but was kind of expensive which as long as something works and is worth the price I don’t care to pay for the value. In February I took the plunge buying the XLS and it was delivered while my wife and I were at the beach on vacation. It is the last week of March and I can truly say it works and is worth every penny. I had back surgery in November 2017 and although surgery helped still have issues but still kept working out. The Total Gym has helped my back issues, toned my muscles, helped control my diabetes and I LOVE IT! My wife is 23 years younger than me and tiny but she has started to use it. It’s easy to use, low impact and you can go at your own pace. Most days I like the treadmill and the bike but could never say lifting was fun but the Total Gym is FUN! BUY IT BUT BE CAUTIONED IT IS VERY ADDICTIVE BUT A LEGAL ADDICTION!!! Oh and cheaper than having poor health. I know this is a little long but sincerely hope it has and will help someone.

So the squats and plyos are working the quads? Instead of using the leg press.

ugh there are so many..which one is the latest? I saw an infomercial for TG Fit last last night, but I have no idea if that is the latest one.

I have the GTS and the only design flaw I have is the positioning of the weight bar accessory (at the top of the board). It impedes the movement if you want to do extra weight pull ups and dips and it does not give you anything to grip low down when doing extra weight squats. One of the other versions has it at the bottom and I wish they kept it that way.

Hi, can you use it as an inversion table also? Thanks

I want to see how the weight bar attachment works on these new models. I've been told it clips on to the top of the glideboard, but I don't see how it would actually fit on their or work. Please prepare a demo video showing this feature. I do like the ability to adjust the angle of the glideboard relative to the ground.

hi, does the ab crunch attachment fit onto the 1600 model?  I'm getting mixed answers...Also, can you tell me where I can find the attachment for less money than the 150 bucks ebay or amazon wants for it?  lol  Thanks!

@robert101455 - Thanks for your note and suggestion. The new weight bar attachment for 2011 Total Gym models GTS, PowerTower and Sport does clip into the top of the glideboard. The top of the glideboard features two grooves. The weight bar has two contact points that slide into these grooves. Then you can put regular size plate weights on each side of the bar to add extra weight. Feel free to give us a call at 800.541.4900 ext. 300 if you have further questions.

Hi, have you considered "Musclegends" (look on Google)? On their website you can watch a good free video explaining how you can develop noteworthy muscles really fast. This helped James to overcome his bodybuilding plateau and consequently build toned lean body mass without fat very fast. Hopefully it works for you as well.

Hi there, have you considered "MuscLeader" (have a look on Google)? There you will find a useful free video explaining the best way to start building noteworthy muscles easily while burning body fat simultaneously. Ryan and many other guys experienced great results using this approach. I hope it works for you too...
