Total Body Gym - Pro's & Possible Con's

Pro's

    Good exercise selection. Depending on the model, they can offer anywhere from 40 to 200 exercises.

    To discover how you can save $80 to $400 on your Total Gym, please click here No free weights or extra equipment. The Total Body Gym only uses your body weight as resistance. (Note: some models do offer a free weight attachment so you can add up to 70Ibs. of additional resistance)

    Exercise your core muscles. Many exercises on Total Gym (like chest press) require you to sit on the seat while pressing. Unlike traditional chest press, where your back rests against a pad, on Total Body Gym your abdominals and core muscles must work to stabilize your body.

    To discover how you can save $80 to $400 on a premium Total Gym, please click here Lightweight. Models for home weigh from 50 to 95Ibs.

    Storage. The 1700 Club folds up and can be stored under some beds. The 14000 folds up vertically.

    Resistance Level. Each Total Body Gym has 6 resistance levels: 6% up to 61% of your total body weight.

    Price? $400 to $1790.

Possible Cons

    Strength Training. Total Body Gym uses your own body weight as resistance (6% to 61%). For toning and slimming this can work well.

    However, for strength training or muscle building, it could be a major disadvantage - especially for legs.

People who it may not work well for:

    Athletes, Strength trainers, Body builders.
