Thanks for this video. It was very helpful. I had bought one used, but I think it was never used or very few times and then had been a LONG time since it was used... And it was stuck! I could get it flat but then to rock it back to raise the part with the numbers/levels on it... It wouldn't move, even with that black pin being pulled (I believe all the way).... Not sure at this point. I know I used a rubber mallet to hit the bottom on that same end a few times on each side and then pulled up this video... and Voila! It worked.... However, this video helped me to see HOW it was supposed to function, that rocking motion after it's flat. I think it was a combo of the mallet and this video that helped me to get this thing up and rolling.... LoL So it anyone else has a STUCK total gym.... follow this video, ensure that Black pin is all the way pulled out and try to rock it and if it's still STUCK... use a rubber mallet so you get some good force but it doesn't damage anything. Possibly mine just got lodged in a weird place and needed some "tough" love.... LoL Enjoy, these things are great IF YOU USE THEM 🙂

Thank you! I tried for a week to set my Total Gym up for a stored state without success. Your video was EXACTLY what I needed.

[lauralee]

Thank you so much! You made it easy for me to do by myself as a 5' tall and a female that's 71. I needed the floor space. What a difference to have this huge thing out of the middle of my room!

[lheenlejardesazon]

all the while i thought im gonna break mine but i found it easier to fold&unfold it the way you’ve shown and Yes thank you for your video (new subscribers here 😊

[pammitchell]

Thanks David! You explained this perfectly. I've had my Total Gym for years and my husband & I have been breaking it down wrong all along & it's amazing we haven't gotten divorced over how to do this 😂🤣. After watching your video I can now store it by myself whenever I want! You are right, toss the manual. I've saved your video for refresher course when I need it. THANK YOU!!!

[jillmcphee]

I just received my total gym and it was a nightmare to get it out of box and set up. I struggled with opening and closing the equipment and almost sent it back. Your video demonstrated a sure fire, easy way to get the Total Gym ready for use. Thanks.

Just got my Total Gym Fit (Anniversary Edition) yesterday. I unboxed it and couldn't understand why the column/tower wasn't standing upright. Your video helped me so much! Yours is the BEST video! Thank you a million fold. 😁

[mikegrigg]

You are awesome for making this video 🙏🙏

[oldcodger]

Thank you. Your very precise structured approach is excellent.

Cross referencing the cards with number is very helpful - I used flash cards extensively during my studies, as I am a visual learner.

Many TG video are not focused, showing all possible variations. The message becomes vague, diluted with too much extraneous information.

I prefer the structured approach, which you do extremely well. Understand the basics, do the basics with a focus on good form. Once the basics are mastered then we can build on that, and then add the variations.

The shorter more concise and focused videos are better suited for beginners. The longer videos tend to create confusion, and are clumsy to cross reference to a particular segment.

It seems likely you are trained in pedagogy, and the effective methods to teach body focussed techniques. Especially adult learning.

I have been taking ski lessons for over 40 seasons. The most memorable, and most effective, was when there was a clear focus on a single aspect. After one memorable 5 day class, the instructor gave me the official Vail Associates ski instructor handbook. A great deal was concerned with effective adult teaching.

Well done and thank you.

Thank you! Short and to the point. I admit I've had to refer back to it a few times to get the hang of it.
Your mat looks to be the perfect size, do you mind sharing where you purchased it?

[h.m.]

Thank you for this wonderful video! So easy to do, now that you showed us how its done.

[lsuebooker]

Thank you so very much David, appreciate your steps for the breakdown given, your efforts are truly valued. I was lost until this !! Thank you Thank You Thank You

[KarenMinicozzi]

Crystal clear comments. I got it closed without a problem. Thank you.

[brendanmcmahon]

Really appreciate your informative videos. Keep up the great work!

[johnmackinnon]

Thanks for this, just what I needed to be able to put it away. Would just ask that you maybe mention that there are two knobs in about the same location a little earlier on, was pulling the wrong knob for a few minutes before coming back to your video and figuring it out. Yeah, I know, watching the whole video first would have done the same, but I was in a rush. I also realize the video is two years old, so don't worry about it too much... Thanks again.

[pattyc]

Thank you very very much! I have an Apex G5 and couldn't make head or tails from the instructions in the manual.

[meekandhumble]

Thank you. I sure couldn't figure it out 😆❤

❤thnx.. .

Should've just looked here an hour ago before I stubbed my toe, hit my head, ripped my pants, and spewed profanities that I didn't even know I had in me.
Thank you thank thank you
