The other review says it all about Total Gym XL7.... Received the package 10 days later after ordering online. Everything inside was okay except for some minor complaints, the 2 rollers attached to the calibrated levels post - cracked/broken and also found some scratches and ding on the metals at the gliding thing. I believe the shipping is the culprit. Haven't complained them yet, but I will. About the gym, it's pretty good quality. It's a little pricey for me but I think it's worth it, though. All accessories in the picture are included in the box which I am so happy about. I also have hardwood floor and I put a gym mat under the machine to avoid slippage when using it. I am thinking of getting a Pilates toe bar for my deep squatting if budget is permitted. Overall, I like my purchase and less strain/pain on my back and I am enjoying my workout.

I saw an infomercial for the Total gym and went online to price it. Sam's was the least expensive, so I ordered it. I gained 20 pounds during the pandemic, so I wanted to get the weight off. I just received it last week, and I have been using it for 15 minutes a day. I was impressed with how easy it was to set up , but I wasn't prepared for how much I would enjoy working out !! It is so easy to use and you can easily transition from one workout to another. I actually look forward to working out, and can't wait to start to see the results.

The total gym will tilt over when sitting on the side exercising if you get off center. I am more than pleased with this equipment. There is no need for me to continue going to the gym. The Total Gym meets all my strengthening needs both upper and lower.

I used to work out regularly until I hurt my back. Until I purchased this unit i had bad results trying to get past my injury. The movement for core training is awesome. I’m pain free finally. It’s been 5 years since my injury and I credit this unit for finally getting out of the hole I’ve been in. However, you have to put in the work for it to work.

I unpacked it immediately and it was packaged with great care to protect it during shipping. It was easy to set up. I watched the DVD’s to get an idea of how to use the attachments. I suggest watching both because they each use the total gym a little differently. The woman actually uses all of the attachments and the trainer with the man and woman utilize the cables for an intermediate workout. I was surprised how much resistance is added by moving the machine up one notch you get to decide how much of your body weight you get to workout with. I do wish the bars used for dips were a little taller and were a little further away from the side to get a little better dip movement in but I’m a big guy 6’1” and 270lbs. You are able to add to the equipment though, so that’s a good option. For 300 dollars, this replaces probably a thousand dollars worth of equipment and weights easily. I will probably still invest in some dead weights for chest exercises but I am very satisfied with the Total Gym. I done a lot of exercises for back arms and got a great pump, you can easily do kick outs and mule kicks and changing the angle of your body from straight up to bent forward noticeably changes what part of the triceps are getting worked. As an experienced weight lifter, I like doing push one day and pulls the next. I believe that you get more out of the workout doing a push pull routine. Resistance workouts are a great way of building strength. It definitely folds up quickly and leans against a wall, taking little space to store it. It constructed with solid craftsmanship and they package it well to protect it during shipping. I was very impressed with that as well. The instructions manual would be way better if it were in color, but if you watch the DVD with the lady, she starts out with all the attachments on it, showing exactly how and where they go and exercises you can do, a little imagination you can figure out more exercises. You have to get a feel for what level to set it at. The video with the trainer and two people show how to safely mount and dismount so I suggest watching it for that and he shows a whole routine with nothing but the cables. For the money, I don’t see how anyone wouldn’t be happy with it.

I've personally owned and used most fitness equipment available on the market over the past 50 years. I am 70 years old, work out six days a week and have taught in many gyms across America. The Total Gym is by far the most advanced piece of total fitness equipment on the market. The company has not become complacent. They keep step with customer demands. I particularly like how they have added many attachments, especially for no more additional cost. For those that need more of a challenge increase your set reps to 20 and increase your sets to a minimum of 3. The only reason the Total Gym did not get a 5 star rating is because it would be nice if there were additional resistance technology built into the design for those that desire additional resistance. Want a challenge? Try doing one legged squats on level 12. Happy exercising and God bless!

Love it. It works for you when you work with it!

I have only used it one time but I can tell it will make me better

I only just unpacked it and the quality seems pretty good.

It was boxed great. Everything was wrapped and protected.
