smooth and sturdy

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.

Almost Great ... But.

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.

Great Machine to Get Whole Body Workout at Home

Bought this so I could do basic exercises at home instead of going to a gym. I am a 64 year old man who served in the Army for thirty years. I have found this machine gives you a great way to exercise your whole body in a short amount of time each day. It is providing me all the weight lifting exercises I need to strengthen my legs, abs, arms, and back. Strongly recommend for anyone who has a limited amount of time to exercise each day.

Best results start following the DVD'S

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.

Initial thoughts about this product

Received the product several days ago. My immediate experience includes: 1. Found a loose nut when unpacking. No idea where it goes. 2. Found a round piece of black plastic. I determined it was part of a plug that had broken off. Doesn’t appear to be crucial to operation, but STILL. 3. The lower priced model comes with access to streaming workouts. This more expensive model came with 2 DVDs-they are useless. 4. There is absolutely no reference to customer service. No phone number, no email, no website listed in any of the printed materials. Shall I assume that because I bought this from Sam’s Club and didn’t purchase from a TV commercial at inflated prices, that I am not entitled to customer service? 5. Changing out different accessories is more trouble than it is worth.

Nice Total Gym

I like this TG. It came already put together (other than one of the pull appartus). I had to go on you-tube to figure out how to get the glider to different levels. Once I saw the video on you-tube I was set. The TG comes with two DVDs (which I haven't looked at yet) a manual of different workouts and a flip chart of workouts. I haven't broken it in yet, but I have a feeling I will be using this often. Also it is easy to stow away because of moving "wheels" at the bottom once it's folded up. I'd recommend it.

Best total body 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.

Excellent workout

I have had this equipment for a little over a month and I am ver pleased. The number of exercises you can do are limitless. I recently had a knee replacement and doing squats on the total gym has really increased my mobility while literally no pressure on the joints. You have to be patient and find out what works for you but I am in my 50's and I really like the fact that it helps you stretch while performing the exercises and that is the key to staying mobil. I have always wanted to try one of these and this unit for the price is fantastic. Enjoy you can't go wrong with this machine if you want to continue remaining mobil.

attachments are nice but...

if you plan on doing any type of squat put aside another hundred plus for a human size squat pad (bottom platform). That aside, the xtras are nice because they are also not cheap if you purchase them as add ons. Great deal here compared with other sellers. so glad i got last week seeing how price increased. still a good deal tho.

I like it

great machine, however the foot board is way to small and low. I will need to purchase a larger/taller one. All of the other attachments make up for this one fault. easy to set up and use. Price is excellent for all of the add ons you get with this machine.
