I really wanted to love this but the bar that supports the machine in the front especially is way too small and it makes the machine wobble. It almost fell completely over to one side while I was on it and Iet me assure you I was not doing anything crazy. Its dangerous to have a machine that uses your weight to glide you into exercises and not have steady legs to support the machine. I am very disappointed in the total gym but I am thankful that Sams Club allowed me to return it.

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.

If you have the time it will give you results. I use this gym like you would get with a good Mon-Fri HBCT P.T. routine. At 57 the results seem to be pretty dang quick. This machine is an upper body maker if you ask me, and best for endurance and tonning. I do three sets of 30, level 6, decline, incline, and use a bar for a wider grip. Privided hand holds are too narrow if you want to work wide grip. I think if you're going all in on this you're going to have to suppliment with dumbbells for legs and bi/tri emphasis. There just isn't going to be enough resistance for serious gains of this is your goal. If you're looking for a machine that will work with maybe some supplementing for a better healthier life, this will do it.

This is an AWESOME machine. I bought my Total Gym no less then 15 years ago and it got it out storage with the covid outbreak. I did replace the rollers and voila back in business. This machine really gives a GREAT workout,very durable and does not take up a lot of space. The exercises are designed to maximize your time by simple transitioning to different exercises using different muscle groups. There are lots of free online videos fitting EVERYONES workout. At this price to workout at home, it's a bargain! If i needed to replace mine I would be buying this one.

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.

I haven’t been to the gym since Covid started so I’ve been desperately looking for alternatives in my home workout routine. I was slightly hesitant to buy it based on the photos. It just doesn’t look sturdy but once I got it home and set it up, I was pleasantly surprised. I like that it’s compact and I can easy put it away if I need the space. I highly recommend it.

I have had the Total Gym XL7 for a month now and feel I can properly give it a review. I think overall it is a good addition to my home gym. It is a very fun piece of equipment which is always important to have in a gym. It took some time getting a flow from moving from one exercise into the next since some exercises require different pieces inserted. My two wishes for this equipment is to have wider rollers under the bench since it can easily fall off track and completely mess up your flow and have more than 2 sets of hitch/release pins, one could easily use another set and setup a third attachment to use in your flow of changing exercises. I have not used the abdomen pieces, since that takes additional screws to connect and by the time I have worked through the other exercises, I am worn out. I can see a difference in my lifting ability and the steady increase, I challenge myself with on the resistance levels makes this equipment a fun addition.

Love this piece of equipment. We actually own a 24 hour gym but have 3 of these in our 3 different houses. This one piece can do soo many exercises and takes up very little space. Can’t stress how great this is. Get yourself one. Your body will thank you.

My husband and I bought this a month and 1/2 ago, and we’re both really enjoying it. I’m 60 and have osteoporosis so I feel like its an excellent work out for my bone strength. We’ve been following a total gym work out on YouTube for beginners and I highly recommend it. I can already tell a toning in my body, which is badly needed!

As the title says this is the second TG I’ve owned. The first was 15 to 20 years ago. It was the one piece of gym equipment the wife and I would both use. It was an early version and a base unit at that but we found it very frustrating as the sled kept coming off the tracks and no amount of adjusting would help. Finally, she put it a garage sale. Fast forward to today and I just retired after a total hip and then knee replacements. Feeling the need to do more to rehab these joints and get ready for the golf season I looked into joining the local gym but was put off by their lackadaisical attitude toward Covid safety measures. Talking with the wife we decided to give TG another go and I’m glad we did. The improvements they’ve made are quite noticeable and the price was comparable to what the wife remembers paying for the first. It’s only been a day but I don’t see me having any regrets with our purchase.
