We have access to an university gym during the semester. The total gym is for home use in between these times.
The instructions on the changing modes could be clearer

Rolling parts can crush your fingers if not careful, need guards so fingers cannot get under the rolling parts.

I love my total gym; it folds easily and reassembles well. I love that I can use this gym so easily yet the results I've received are fantastic!

I am 75 years old and would like a machine which is uncomplicated and gives me the time to enjoy a work out in the privacy of my home,The progam set by John on a 6 day basis is all I need to keep fit .I am 6ft 188#s with a 37" waist which I have maintained for some 40+years.The program gets me up and going in the mornings for a wide awake day to follow.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
This home gym is just what I was looking for! I have an elliptical, but missed my days of strength training. Cardio is necessary for me, but strength training is fun! Over the past few years, I have found myself working overtime, more often then not. Time away from the gym took it's toll, and here I am... 5'4 and 150 lbs. I am looking to lose 20 pounds and tone, and with the workouts I have had during these past two days of owning this wonderful gym, I will have no problem reaching my goals! As for the size of the Total Gym, it is decent, but does not take up too much space. I was able to get it inside my house, and set it up without any help from the husband. (If you watch the short "Set Up" video instructions, it will take about 5 minutes to set up.) I would say the board is perfect for my height, not sure it would work for those who are very tall though. It is comfortable to use, just keep your hair up ladies! I have been enjoying trying out all of the exercises with the handy training deck -those cards are so helpful! And the accessories are awesome! I am already getting use from all of them. I can definitely see myself purchasing more such as the AbCrunch, Weight Bar, Dip Bar, and Pilates Kit. Overall, this is a well rounded piece of equipment. After "catching" my husband using this Total Gym, he has given his approval as well. I am already looking forward to my next workout!!

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Easy to use and get an effective workout however hurts my back to lay down on it during some of the exercises. Also, could be alittle longer because if you are tall, it is kind of difficult to fit on the board. Too much of a hassle to fold up and open so best to just have a large enough space to leave it open. Enjoy the different workouts available with the cards.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I needed to loose weight and strengthen. The Total Gym is helping me, in the convenience of my own home to do just that. I hated and waisted money joining a gym. Now I have fun and exercise everyday. It is easy to use and the videos are wonderful. I also love the cards to invent your own workout so it doesn't get boring with the same workout every time.
The delivery was prompt and was packed well.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Im a surfer the Total Gym is great for constructive exersise for when I start surfing agian in late Spring. In the past all I did was moderate wieghts for the purpose of staying in shape, the gym offers a whole world ofgeneral and targeted areas of your body. My wife in her fifties is starting to use it in the lower position and says it it takes all the negative things about exersising that kept her from exersising though she is taking it slow to start which is the correct way to get started in the beginning. My daughter,a 20 yr old College student attends a gym but frequently uses the Total Gym instead "for the same benifits but without the incovenience of the commercial gym setting". Instead of the tredmill she goes for an invigorating walk to enjoy the fresh air.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
The product is hepful and addictive. It attracts you to want to workout daily.

I have not needed assistance as of yet.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
My wife, myself, and my daughters are all using our Total Gym on a regular basis. We have each lost some weight and definitely can see our bodies changing. It's easy to get in a complete workout or if time doesn't allow we just get in what we can.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I LOVE IT. I AM RECOVERING FROM SURGERY, SO I AM SLOWLY WORKING OUT ON IT 5 DAYS A WEEK. THE GREATEST THING WAS THAT AFTER A WEEK I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN OVER ON MY STOMACH TO DO THOSE EXERCISES THAT HAVE YOU PERFORM THEM IN THAT POSITION. SINCE I HAVE MEMORIZED THE BEGINNING WORKOUT, I CAN JUST DO IT WHILE WATCHING TV. I LOVE IT.
YES, MY DELIVERY WAS PROMPT AND IT ARRIVED IN GOOD CONDITION. SINCE I AM RECOVERING FROM SURGERY, I HAD A COUPLE OF FRIENDS BRING IT IN AND SET IT UP FOR ME. I JUST LEAVE IT OPEN IN FRONT OF THE TV SINCE I AM UNABLE TO FOLD IT UP, WHICH IS OKAY. IT MAKES ME WORK OUT SINCE IT IS STARING AT ME.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I love the fact that i can exercise my whole body - it truly is a total body work out as described without needing multiple pieces of equipment. And i feel great after using the total gym. My only complaint is it is slighlty awkward to fold and stand up for storage. Hand grasps are uncomfortable with certain exercises.
Delivery was great and fast.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I've only had the gym for 6 weeks and have already seen positive results. Even at the age of 50 I want to believe I can stay competive without hurting, and the first step is staying conditioned. I have tried a lot of workout equipment over the years and I must say that the Total gym is the smoothest most effective workout so far. The only thing that I find a little uncomfortable at 6'2" is the bench is a little short and it's hard to keep my head relaxed during some of the workouts.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Fortunately, I was offered the older version of the Total Gym at a reduced cost as the XL model did not fit my budget or my size and weight!
Prompt delivery in perfect condtion. Ready to use in 10 minutes !
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
The training deck is fantastic. I had a Weider Crossbow for 6 years and received the Total Gym as a gift. The space savings and quality of workout makes the Total Gym better to the Crossbow. Great machine.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Truth is: I haven't had much use out of my Total Gym because I have Lymphoma, and am not real strong. I got it to help me build myself up with less trips to public gyms. Four days after I purchased the Total Gym I fell off my bed, and broke my arm. I can say in the four days I had it I felt every muscle in my body burning and became stronger by the day, so I know it was working. It took my friend and I an hour to set it up and it is very heavy and it end up bigger than I thought it would be. You have to be sure to read the directions carefully or you will pinch your hand, when you set it up. We thought we were reading them closely and got pinched anyway. I can't wait for my arm to heal enough to start using it again!

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I have been using the product for general toning and found that a by product is stretching which I did not expect. I have a bad knee from football and I've been able to do deep knee bends and strethen it which I could not do before.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
After my back surgery 14 months ago I was concerned that weight lifting might exacerbate my condition. The total gym has eliminated those concerns. I can perform all the exercises without complications and getting stronger by the day. My activities of daily living are back to normal and the total gym is helping to get me back where I was 5 years ago before my injury. Great rehab unit.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
This is just wonderful product. There's a variety of workouts you can choose from. I love how the videos work hand & hand with you to show you the correct form so you don't hurt yourself if your a beginner as I am. I've already lost 10 lbs in two weeks and once you start to work out you feel so good you look forward to working out the next day. Also, when you feel great you don't want to miss more then two days it's very addicting..
The delivery of this machine was within 4 days. My products arrive in top notch condition. Yes, customer service is great! Thank you total gym.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
To be honest, I was so motivated when I saw the infomercial. and called to find out about it. It was more than I could really afford, but thought if it really worked like was shown, I thought it would be worth it..... I have called 4 times to try to get some help and one person did try to help me but I am so so so sorry I bought the product. I am sure you dont care to hear this but I am so upset about this purchase and should have known better. T,V, makes everything look sooooo easy..... Live and learn I guess.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I bought this miracle product to help with rebuilding my strength and lose weight due to a disorder with symptoms like MS. I am overweight(trunk area)and the muscles in my legs have deteriorated due to this disorder(CIDP). Total Gym is so amazing, my whole family(7) has started using it. I honestly do not have anything_not anything negative about it. It is just as smooth and easy to assemble and use as it demos on tv. Thank you, Thank you and God Bless! I have never had a photo made of my body,especially for the computer. I only received my TotalGym today. I will have a before and after sent in 14days to show what this miracle has done for me! I am so excited to begin this new life.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
So worth the investment. At age 62, I have always kept reasonably fit, but after a a little over a year and a half (purchased in Jan. 09) of working out on the Total Gym for only about 20-30 minutes every day, my arms, shoulders, and chest have increased substantially while my waste size has gone down from a 36" to 34" without changing my normally healthy diet. I started out on lower setting every other day, and grew to the point it is now on the highest setting and enjoy working out on it every morning at 5:30a. Set up & take down is a little tricky,so watch your fingers (expecially on take down) until you get the hang of it. OVERALL, an excellent product. MM

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I'm a 45-year-old Army veteran (Army Nursing Corps) with severe arthritis in my back. The total gym was recommended by my chiropractor as a low impact way to improve posture and to strengthen weak back muscles.
I have been using it for 3 weeks and have already noticed improved posture and reduced pain in my mid-back. Today I even noticed that my biceps and triceps are returning to their old "Basic Training" appearance, which is a fitness level I thought was lost forever. I especially like the 6-8 minute workout DVD because it allows me to work out without a lot of time, even when pulling a 12-hour Nursing shift. Thanks Total Gym!
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I couln't say anything better about this product and would highly recommend to all potential users. It's quite simple to put together, easy to use, and you feel the workout instantaneously. Being a consumer in the exercise equipment for ove4 35 years, I can honestly attest that this is, without a doubt, the best machine that I have ever been privileged to have.

I ordered this product because Chuck Norris backed it and well, he, his wife and Christie Brinkley really looked great! I've used it several times and it is so much fun and very effortless and I would recommend it to anyone. Once I have my hand surgery I will use it up to 5 days a week.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
There are too many pieces and hook ups. My husband is a tall person, I am a short person and it is hard for me to use comfortably.
I have grandchildren and they tend to mess with things and I found some of the locking mechanisms everywhere.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
We have just started using the Total Gym 3000 and so far we are very impressed with it. It's very quiet and well-built. The only thing I can think of that I would change, would be having to take the bar off and unhook the cable exercisers each time I don't want to use them. Thanks for a great product!

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Every since I got I couldn't stop using it, I use it for an hour a day and it's to stop using it once you get in the groove. My husband also uses it and loves it. He works on the rail road and he's laid off for the winter, it's hard to keep his arms in shape from all the hammering he does when he's working. During the time he's laid off he works out on it and it helps he's arms get back in shape. When he does go back to work his arms don't hurt and feel sore from being away of all the hammering he does. It puts him back in shape.
It was suppose to arrive at my house in 4 to 8 weeks and it was here in 3 days after ordering it which made it earlier and convenient to start using it.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Although the Total Gym is a little heavy for me, I enjoy using it and it has helped me work out more than usual. I swim during the summer and when swim season is over, I don't want to pay an outrageous price to join a gym to just use the pool. The Total Gym is convenient for me to use at the comfortability of my own home, no driving to a gym and waiting for workout equipment. I would recommend this product to any of my friends, it is well worth the buy. I have seen improvements in my body since using the Total Gym. I also like that I can work out different parts of my body on one system. What's even better, is my whole family uses the Total Gym since its arrived. Paying for gym membership for a whole entire family is expensive. Now we have the luxury to use with the feasible price we paid for the Total Gym.
Delivery was prompt, my product was in great condition and easy to set up. Customer Service was very helpful at the time of the order.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I love it! I had to stop teaching aerobics years ago due to work schedule and could NOT seem to get motivated again until I tried the Total Gym.I'm a Grandma now and definitely want to keep up with the little guys! [...] it was easy to set up. I leave it set up and do my workout as soon as I get home from work -actually find myself looking forward to it as I'm driving home. There are no stress points while doing the exercises which makes it great for anyone (myself included) who has had an injury in the past and has to be careful. Great daily stress release and, as a bonus, a more restful sleep. I've already recommended it to friends.
I was shocked (and thrilled) at the delivery speed. It was in perfect condition and easy to set up.

I have had my Total Gym for well over a month and I can't believe how good I feel. I actually look forward to my workouts. I would like to have more videos to follow to help keep it fresh. I was so happy with the gym I ordered the Cyclo trainer to my workout. Now that is really worth it. I absolutely love the different ways I can use the gym. I plan to add the Pilates eventually . I can't say enough about this product.

Use Total Gym for exercise, strength training, and weight loss.
The Total Gym is great because it is easy to use and is quiet. Easy to set up and get right to my work out.
It is a little heavy and have to be careful when setting up. Have pinch my fingers a few times.
I could not believe how fast my delivery was of my Total Gym. It arrived and I was working out in less than 30 minutes. I could not have been more pleased with my purchase.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I use the Total Gym for supplemental training. If you execute the exercises slowly and deliberately, you can get a good workout in a relatively short time. However, it does not replace my normal gym workout with free weights and machines. It is convenient to have at home where I can use it especially on days when I miss the gym.
It is bulky and I have not found a good place to store it yet. I usually just leave it setup in the living room
The best thing is that I have been able to get my Wife to use it! She does not like to exercise.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
The only thing I suggest would be to include 2 ankle/foot harness since they are so basic they really cant cost that much to go ahead and include 2. Especially how much it slows you down to unfasten it and place on other foot then hook up the cable. Really a drag and I dont care if you are superman you cant do this with out getting too much time between. You can not purchase this one little item from what I could tell on the site - instead you have to pay for several items you dont need to get the one item. I would also like to see a couple more DVDS's included with the package. Other than that it is really a great set up

yes it was delivery promptly and in good condition. It was a little hard for me to set up but my son came and helped me. But then I am in my 60's and have been hit by a car.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I use the machine about 3 times a week - it works for me.
I purchased a 'recon' unit and it came in great shape, but I am missing one foot strap and that makes it hard to use half of the machine capibilites.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I use the product 2-4 times a week. I do the standard routine sent with the machine with a few adaptations as I get vertigo with the exercises lying on your back and pulling up and down. I like the low impact. I am in my mid 50's so use it for strength training & weight loss mostly, also general fitness. When family or friends come, I invite them to use it too.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I like the idea of strength training and working out to lose weight but found I had a hard time motivating myself to go to the gym. Now I don't have to, I have a full gym right in my own home and it is working great. No excuses now. My gym is right here, ready whenever I am ready, even at midnight! Love it.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Before getting married 10 years ago, I used to love going to the gym and doing circuit training. 10 years, 3 kids and an eventful marriage later I had gained 86 pounds, hadn't visited a gym since, and was at my highest weight ever. After years of seeing commercials for the Total Gym, I decided to order it and give it a try. The payment plan made it very easy. I do a separate cardio workout and then use the Total Gym to do circuit training, working every muscle group four days per week. Although I initially struggled with the setup, I now do it with ease. Its a little bulky but in my opinion thats to be expected with 1 machine that works your entire body as opposed to 12, and unlike most home gyms it folds up and stores away nicely, so I don't mind the bulkiness. I find I'm more motivated to workout regularly, however, if I leave it set-up and ready for use. Its easy to use, easy to adjust, the instructions in the workout videos are great. The cards that come with it that show the different exercises color coded by muscle group are very useful. There's even a workout for children to help boost their confidence; my children love the Total Gym! To me it's fun and the results are fabulous. With 3 kids the thought of getting to a gym was overwhelming. I can now go to the gym anytime...the Total Gym...right in my own home. I really appreciate the rapid changes I'm seeing in my body; they motivate me to keep using the Total Gym. I can't say enough about this product. Buy it, you'll like it! Thanks Total Gym!
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
In the past I've injureded myself by trying too much when tryning to get back into shape. This equipment really works all areas at your own resistance. It's the first piece of equipment that I really enjoy and I can do a routine in 20-30 minutes. Instead of waiting for equipment at the gym. I've told alot of people about this product. Combined with a reduced calorie diet I've taken about 12 pounds of in 8 weeks and my whole family has noticed. (and still have a beer!)
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Please provide more detail in how to set up. I had a lot of trouble getting it apart to actually use. Some sort of wheel for moving into a closet would be helpful when I have to put it away for company. Thank you.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
The Total Gym is very easy to use and I a get a total body workout in a very short period of time. It is a little heavy & bulky, but that's not a problem. I have only been using the total gym for about 1 month, I am already stronger and I can physically see my body changing. That hard to get rid belly fat is evaporating. 15-20 minutes and you are through!!

For the past 15 years my model FM 853 (3000 equivalent)has see all types of uses. Through the school years of six children's sports training, to post accident rehab, weight control, military PT, all in the comfort of my own home. I can't say enough for the quality of my machine. Once you are comfortable with the set-up and the exercise routine, you will like this machine.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I love my "Total Gym". I am a short person and most of the time equipment is too tall or big. I can't really operate it. But, I CAN operate the "Total Gym" I also had arthritis as a young tennager & adult. So, I have to be careful not to hurt myself as I try to build up my muscles. I intend to live a health life until I am 120 years old. This machine is going to help get there.
I use mt machine 1-2 days a week and working up to 3
The only trouble I have is storage. I have to put it away and the coaster do not roll well for me. I think it is because of my heighth not the rollers.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
The setup is very easy.
The Total Gym surprised me with the results I saw in such a short period of time.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I lifted weights for over 20 years, then in my mid 50's developed excruciating and debilitating back problems from 2 old car accidents when my back "settled" due to age. The Total Gym was the ONLY exercise, that I was able to do
effectively. I am still rehabilitating and have made dramatic improvements thanks in great part to the Total Gym. Total Gym was recommended to me by a friend who had a car accident that had also prevented him from exercising effectively. He said that Total Gym was the only exercise he was able to perform at that time. I took his advice, purchased a rebuilt Total Gym 3000 and am very pleased and thankful that I did and that this product is even available. I highly recommend it.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I been exercising now for 8 weeks on a daily usage. I do feel better but have seen no results in body looks. The gym is small compared to other equipment. The bench had developed a separation on the material at the rolled ends. I feel the gym is well built. The set up was easy, the training video is fast to follow.I still have a positive out look for results. Overall I'm happy with the equipment.
I ordered over the internet and entered a wrong credit card number, I waited two week before I called to check on shipment. She said they
eventuality wood have found the error and called.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I keep this in the closet. I simply don't have space to set it up without it completly taking over whatever room I put in in. I don't have a big room to work with and the Total Gym needs a good 10 feet of length. I'm going to hang onto it until I can someday give it the space it needs. Meanwhile, I have smaller equipment to work out on. I would recommend this to a friend who has a nice big basement or big family room ready to become his/her "Total Gym."

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
i love the total gym but it just wasnt sturdy enough for everyday use. i have had two wheels crack on me, and i cant seem to find or locate where parts are available. All i find are accessories. Needs to be made with rubber wheels instead of hard plastic.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I have a severe and chronic back injury. I have looked for years to find a gym or exercise equipment that would be inexpensive and low impact enough to make my workouts sustainable. The Total Gym is great for back pain patients with Sciatica and degenerative disk disease, I know because I have it and the Total Gym has changed my life.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
My first Total Gym lasted from 1997 to 2009. The little weight bench wheels finally gave out. The 3000 is a nice step up from the original model. Two great things about the Total Gym is it increases your flexibility and you work with your own body weight using natural resistance. Plus it supports you and prevents injury. Leg squats are a great example for me. I could never do them for more than a month without my knees shutting down. I've been doing them for 12 years on the Total Gym using the optional weight bar and my own free weights. Total Gym's use of pulleys and your own body weight is the best exercise equipment idea on the market.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I use it to supplement my running and martial arts. I got my Father at 93 to start using it and he's loving it. I love that if your having a bad day, you just lower the height and do your work out as always. Having a great day, raise it up and go for it.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I love the 6 minute workout. It fits my busy schedule.
many different exercises to choose from so I don't get bored with it.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I really didnt have much weight to lose but rather to tone up and this works perfectly. My arms and legs are definitely more defined after 20 minutes a day for four days a week.

I use my Total Gym almost everyday and love every minute of it. It is a daily challenge for me and I never get tired of using it. Now, I look forward to my daily Total Gym routine. I used to look for reasons NOT to exercise but now I find time to exercise because of how much I enjoy my Total Gym.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I am using the Total Gym almost every day, and have achieved a 6% loss in body fat in just two weeks.
I have recommended the Total Gym to a number of friends & family. I am very pleased with the results so far, and really look forward to my workouts, compared to my usual weight training excercises.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I really don't like to exercise. But, I find the Total Gym so much better to use than going to the gym or any other machine that I have tried. It makes me want to workout more and I do workout more often than ever before. When, I first started, it was hard for me to set the maching up. It was too heavy for me. After using the Total Gym, I found the Total Gym easier to set up because I became stronger after using for just a few workout sessions than when I first got it. I really appreciate the convienence the Total Gym allows for me to have and the 6-8 minute videos. I get the workout affect in just one 6-8 minute session. If I have more time, I can go through two or more sessions in the same workout. Then, I don't feel bad because I quit in the middle of a session because I don't have the time for a half hour workout. Thank you for the ease of purchasing the Total Gym. The Total Gym has helped me to be more physically fit than I have been in a long time.

It allows me to use a different weight level depending on the training I'm doing that day. It's easy to set up, use and store. I've has shoulder surgery and was restricted on what I could do, but when I tried the Total Gym and the low impact exercises I could use my shoulder recovery was cut in half. Now I'm 95% recovered with the help from my Total Gym.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I love that I can exercise everyday in the convenience of my home at any hour of the day! I've been very pleased with the overall machine and would highly recommend to others! Thanks for the upgrade and the monetary value since I didn't order a new one, but a repackaged one. The only things I would change are the cumbersome part of putting on the handles (because of the pins that need to go in; it's challenging at times. The second thing is pulling the clamps up and down to go to the different levels ( 1 through 6) especially when we need to set it up. It is a little difficult for me to lift it; it would also be nice if after you pull up the machine in the upright position, if it had wheels so that it could roll away to another part of the house.
Other than these mentioned, I really love my Total Gym. It has helped me lose about 5 pounds so far along with a diet program.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Being in the sports medicine field i have worked with alot of equipment. I recently underwent lisfranc surgery to my left foot. the only workout machine that popped into my mind to do at home was the totalgym since I can do all exercises either sitting or laying down. I could keep my exercises going even when I had a cast on my foot. The totalgym is awsome.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I have specific muscles that I want to target. As a runner my legs and back are more toned than my abs and upper body. So the Total Gym helps me get a balance. Plus, I want certain muscles to be worked a little harder, concentrating on my tricepts for example. I don't want anything waving besides my hand when I raise my arm!

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I have been using the total gym for almost 2 months and I have noticed tremendous results. No matter how hard I tried I could never tighten my obliques and after using this magnificent piece of equipment I can finally say they are melting away and so are the pounds (12 so far). I am toning all over but what excites me the most is that I look slender around my waist from back to front. My husband (51) and son (30) uses it as well. We are constantly comparing our success and recieving lots of compliments. Thanks Chuck and Christie keep up the good work.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Simple to use. If you can't spare 7-8 minutes a day then don't buy it. I've had mine for one month and lost two inches off my waist and tightened up my arms and chest.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Have seen an increase in strength and overall fitness. Works well into my schedule. Glad I made the investment in my health.
Prompt delivery, easy set up, arrived in great condition.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I use TG 3000 with the weight bar to get extra strength training and combine it with cardio I already do like running or on an elliptical. It gives you a lot of different ways to work different muscle groups so it really strengthens and tones. I can see results in my triceps and biceps after only two weeks and I feel a difference in my quads and hamstrings.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
This is excellent, I love it. I am 49 and the best thing about it to me is that it is a gradual way to get in shape. It is perfect for me. I haven't been active since 1995. Instead of trying to do push-ups or pull-ups (of which I can't even do one) to get in shape, the Total Gym allows you to start at a very easy level and build slowly from there.

I have always been an active person but never liked exercising for the sake of exercising. Around age 50 I realized the need to do more to keep my muscles tone and strong. I've never enjoyed or been consistant with any piece of equitment except my Total Gym. I love it and look forward to useing it, almost daily. It has been worth every penny. I love it, love it, love it. Everything I heard about it is true which is an exception to all the false advertising out there.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I used the total gym to perform mostly upper body exercises because I had suffered a bad ankle sprain before receiving it. The leg motion needed to support the upper body exercises helped increase my range of motion and now I am to the point where I can walk without limping and do strengthening exercises. The exercises are easy to do but the resistance is as much as you want it to be. We live in a very tiny apartment and while the space required is far less than conventional machines, it still requires the width of your arm reaches and about 20 feet or so of length on the floor. We barely have room to take it out and leaving it out, which helps me stay motivated, is not an option.

Hi just wanted to say I have had a knee replacement and the Total Gym has been awesome.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I new that the total gym was popular and good but I didn't realize how much until I went to my physical therapist and found a total gym there. Before I let we set a an excercise routine that targetted my problem spots and I'm on my way to recovery.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
This product is awesome, I have used it and it has helped me become more active. Being able to set up right in my living room and store away easily, makes this the best equipment. I am not one for exercising, and truly needed to get moving. I did find it a little difficult to put parts on, but I know in time I will be able to figure it out.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
As an avid bicycle rider and kayaker, I use the Total Gym to train for activities and augment my outdoor program. My favorite thing about the Total Gym is how easy it is to change exercises without a lot of effort. Circuit training is excellent and challenging. I enjoy watching the exercise program videos while working out. This truly is the best piece of equipment I have ever owned and I look to a lifetime of good health thanks to the Total Gym. Many thanks to Chuck Norris, Christie Brinkley and the folks at both HSN and Total Gym for improving my life.
The item was delivered quickly but to the wrong address. FedEx promptly retrieved the item and it was delivered the next day. The machine arrived in perfect condition and even better than expected as it was a reconditioned unit. I ordered a wing attachment not knowing it was included with the machine. I was able to return it for a full refund.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:

I am still learning new ways to use the Total Gym
but in a month's time I have already strengthened my legs and arms ( I had lost close to 50% strenth in my arms) I have lost a bit of weight and a few inches in the first month. I try to use it at least 5 days each week, the first thing when I get up. I am very pleased with the Total Gym
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
we were sporatic exercisers before purchasing Total Gym. Now we have set up a regualar routine and stick to it BECAUSE Total Gym is so easy to use. You can change quickly and easily between exercises. The operation of the slide board is very quiet and smooth. It arrived all put together, all we had to do was unfold it and it was pretty much ready to use. It does take up a bit of space when fully extended. We have a friend who is 6'5, and it really is a little too small for him, but fits us 5'4 and 5'10 just fine. We can see the results in better overall fitness in just the two months that we have owned it.
Unit arrived in only a couple of days, very fast. it arrived in perfect condition. We have had it about a two months and have used it regularly. Have had no problems or issues of anykind. Great product

IF you are buying this product for weight loss think again. It merely strengthens and tones. I have watched what I have been eating and used this product 15 min/day and no weight loss. It definitely tones arms/back.

Because of the ease of use and effectiveness, it's very difficult not to use the Total Gym regularly.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
The product is really easy to use. I've tried a couple of the dvd's that come with it and have been surprised how fast I feel the results. After just one use my legs and arms felt like i had been working out for an hour but was only working out for 20 minutes. The hardest thing about this product was putting it together. Very difficult to do with one person. The directions aren't that clear so it took me about 45 minutes to put together. Once it's put together it's very easy to use. They give you everything you need and more to get a total work out.
The delivery of the total gym was actually earlier than they originally quoted me. There were quite a few pieces to put together and a little difficult to put together. I'm not able to store it because it's too hard to fold up and move since it weights 94 pounds. I found a good place for it to sit and it's easy to move back and forth from there. I've called customer service twice to move the date of payment and they were very helpful. They didn't keep me on the phone long and got to my call in a timely manner. I couldn't believe how helpful they were.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
[...] IT HAS BEEN QUITE AN UNSUCCESSFULL TASK TO ADAPT TO THIS TOTAL GYM. THE INVERTED EXERCISES ARE NOT TOLERABLE. THE CONSTANT UP AND DOWN KILL MY KNEES SO THE NEXT DAY IS TO PAINFUL TO DO ANYTHING. THE ABDOMINAL POSITIONS ARE ARE TO FLAT AND NOT BODY FRIENDLY. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I HAD HOPED THIS WOULD BE A LONG TIME ADDITION TO MY PROGRAM.I HOPE I CAN RECEIVE SOME COMPENSATION FOR THIS PURCHASE.

If you want to build muscle this machine gives great negative resistance, which means going slower when returning to the bottom of the repitition you will build more muscle
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
My husband likes this equipment, while I find it too complicated to use. I go to the gym frequently and would rather go to the gym than have to keep getting off this machine and change the settings and add pieces and take pieces off. I really feel it is not worth the money, but we will keep it because my husband feels it is okay for his needs.

Profession Level Top Quality Assembled Exercise Equipment !
Approaching all the exercises with a serious minded discipline and patience, the total gym really works with you and will compliment and complement your workout as you initially adjust to this new varied physical routine. Thank You for Total Gym.
I initially pinched some fingers a few times on opening and closing this really professional quality system. It's tougher starting out - when you realize discipline and patience must prevail over expectations when learning and experiencing the limits of your exercise routine. You grow with it every day.
Stronger and Stronger, Total Gym has got to be the Best !
Delivery was prompt, highly professional, and well received. I can't think of anything I have been delivered in the last 50 years that matches the assurances and spirit of strength, endurance and stamina of the Total Gym.
I initially found after delivery, this highly anticipated carton was still difficult to handle even with great expectations and, not being in the best of shape, I had some difficulty in bringing the compact carton up a few brick steps, a hallway, and a few doors. However, I got it done ! When you send me my next Total Gym, I will be in the best of shape and you will see how easily I can handle the next highly anticipated Total Gym. If you are strong enough to order Total Gym, if you are strong enough to accept delivery on Total Gym, then, well, you'll be strong enough to get even stronger with Total Gym !

I try to work out 3 times per week, but work also takes so much out of me. By the time I get home sometimes I already feel drained from the stress. I have shown some improvement in inches, but not as far as weightloss. It is quite heavy and is at times a little difficult for me to fold & store, but I think perhaps in a longer period of time it MAY do for me what it is suppose to do?????

gives me a rounded toning up of the body, with little effort in transforming the machine to help different parts of the body
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
When I received this machine the roller was broken. I have received two sets and for some reason it does not fit,when I go to roll it for storage the roller keeps falling off.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
easy to set up,basic instructional videos
Is on the heavy side,but sturdy construction
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I find it works great for building muscle. I use it for three exercises only, I want to focus on my arms and back strength. It really does the job quick! The only negative aspect I've noticed is that the sliding board feels somewhat flimsy, especially if I do push ups on it, it feels as if it may break on the edges applying my full body weight on it. The board under the padding should be thicker and stronger, it must be made of thin weight (i.e. weak plywood only).
Delivery was flawless. It arrived on time and in good condition. I did not attempt to call customer service, there was no need to.

Again - very nice product, with a far too hefty price tag
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
My husband has a long back so the bench is not long enough. I picked this size according to the weight range provided. I don't remember seeing a length range. Perfect for me! I hurt my back and
now it is much stronger.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE TOTAL GYM 3000.
MY DAD GOT SICK THE FIRST OF DECEMBER AND BECAME
WEAK. I DIDN'T WANT HIS MUSCLES IN HIS LEGS AND ARMS TO
LOOSE THERE STRENGTH, SO I GOT HIM THE TOTAL GYM.

AROUND HIS RIGHT AND LEFT KNEE REPLACEMENTS. HIS RIGHT
FOOT HAD FLOPPED A LITTLE WHEN HE WALKED, THIS HAS STRENGTHEN THAT MUSCLE AND HAS IMPROVED HIS WALK.

Great product! I use this everyday and it is awesome!
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
My wife and I are in our seventies. We wanted something affordable, easy to use and not take much space. This machine fills the bill.We use it everyday and don't "kill" ourselves lifting heavy weights but still get a great workout.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
It took just a few days to learn how it works. In two months I've lost 4# and 2" off everywhere. I'm impressed!
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
i am overweight and have several medical conditions which can be held in check if i lose that weight and the total gym is excellent for that purpose i find nothing negative about it for me it is all good
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
My wife purchased the Total Gym to supplement her reformer pilates and yoga routines. She urged me to try the Total Gym and I am glad I did. The Total Gym performs as advertised and we are both very pleased with the results.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I use the total gym everyday. I cannot wait until I get home from work change my clothes and get on the gym. I am usually pretty wore out when I get home but I find the Total Gym to be relaxing, but yet invigorating at the same time. When I am done working out I really feel better. I usually work out 6 out of 7 days. I am now doing 325 leg movements and 150 arm movements. It usually takes me about 30 minutes. The more I use the gym the longer I want to be on it. It has strengthened my back, as well as my arms and legs. My thanks to Chuck and Christie for their great representation and presentation of the Total Gym as I felt confident ordering it with them on the infomercial. The product does stand true as to what they say. Many many thanks to everyone at Total Gym! The only thing I would like to add is that the hand pulleys I wish were different, instead of the triangle like they show on TV, mine are an L shape and sometimes harder to hold.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I feel I can get at total work out.
I only did get one foot strap with my order.
But I will need to return it. And need to know how.
My 60 days are up but I find with all the cutbacks I am unable to afford it.
I think it is a great machine.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
When I use the total gym I get cardio, flexability and strength work out. At 47 years old with a bad back this is the best gym I have found. Before I was only able to lift weights and incumbent bicycle. Weights get me bulky and the total gym will work mainly on toning, that is what I need. Thanks for the help!!!
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
It has sparked a interest in my whole family to get fit and stay healthly.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
The Total Gym is wonderful. It is all the things you say in your infomercial. The only thing I find
that could be better is the hook up of the pulley cables. I struggle to hook it up after I unhook it. Are there any tricks?
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
The Total Gym makes it incredibly easy to get a workout. There are no more excuses with this product. I have 4 young children. In the past, I used the excuse of 'too busy' to justify not exercising. Now, I can pull the Total Gym out of the closet when the kids are in bed, roll it in front of the TV, and get in a workout! I still get to 'wind down' and watch a movie or sporting event, while getting my body back into shape. It just doesn't get any easier!
In 6 weeks, I am already getting comments from family and friends about the physical changes in my body. I feel stronger and more energetic. The Total Gym has made this possible.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I have chronic neck/back pain X20 years and don't have access to a good gym. I cycle and use free weights but I had nothing to effectively work my total back safely. The Total Gym has transformed my workouts! I am so much stronger in my back and feel so much better even after just 6 weeks. Improved posture and just a sense that I'm not going to injure myself. I'm a 52 year old physical therapist who is a lifetime fitness type. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I use this 5 times a week. I haven't lost any weight yet but I feel better and have more energy. It is easy to use always ready to use and if you want to store it you can. I love this machine.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
The DVD's received with the unit didn't work and two of the DVD's were unusable. The hype of the total gym is mis-leading; I found it to be not what I expected.[...]Tha package came in from UPS smashed up. This may be how the DVD's got damaged or screwed up.I should've returned the unit but I thought I'd give it a chance but I am disappointed.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I was medically retired from the Military in March of 07 and have had a hard time getting back into shape due to my injuries. Using the Total Gyn has increased my mobility, strengthened my lowerback and has reduced the daily pain that I was feeling. I would and have recommended this product to anyone who has a lower back or shoulder injury.. IT'S GREAT!!!!!
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
This is very easy to use. It provides a very good work out in a short period of time. The fact that you can move from one exercise to another quickly allows the heart rate to remain at a high level which results in a cardio work out as well. At my age the low impact is very important.
Excellent product!

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
It looks like it is easy and wouldn't do much good, until you try it. I like the workouts. I can alreardy tell a differance.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I watch TV while I use my Total Gym and before you know it half hour or more goes by. I enjoy that I am not sore like other exercise methods I have tried. At almost 50 I was able to tone my arms in a short time. Highly recommend as I have little time to exercise and to be honest, I hate to exercise, but I really enjoy the Total Gym.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
It is so easy to use. It makes you want to use it. You feel like you have had a workout, really gets your heart pumping.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
As someone approaching 40 and have been on the treadmill for the last year without seeing much results, I started looking at home gyms to tone and save space to go in a smaller room. I asked gym trainers about the total gym versus other gyms and not one gave it a bad review. This is perfect! I work out on this every day, love it and actually look forward to it. Two months and I am already seeing results in weight and tone. I really like the deck of exercises that give several exercises for arms, back, shoulders, abs and legs. Very easy to use, set up and change. [...] I highly recommend the total gym!
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I looked for a good 2 years comparing different systems, but always came back to Total gym as being the easiest to operate and had the features I was looking for. Mainly ease of operation and easy transitioning from one exercise to another. I start every morning using Total gym. I haven't found anything yet I don't like about it.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
The products card file is an excellent example of what to do for your particular goals. Easy to follow instructions make sure you are doing the excersises correctly. It is a little clumsy to move & put away, but not too bad.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I could not be more satisfied with the Total Gym. I use it every day and I cannot believe how my energy level has gone up. Not to mention constant fat burning. I absolutely love it!!!
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I really like this machine. I'd never bought exercise equipment before and I'm very happy that I did! I can do this whenever I'm in the mood, for whatever lenght of time and the possibilities seem about endless!
The only thing I wasn't pleased with was the quality of the DVD's - I have a hard time getting them to play, no matter what DVD player I put them in.
Overall though - awesome!
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I love the 6 day 8 / 10 min program. I am a working mother with two jobs. I get up at 5:30 am and do the 6 day program. Fits perfect in my busie life.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
This was more than I expected. Nice piece of equipment! My son (16) & I use it together. Easy to use.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
It has been years since I've had a regular exercise routine. I've joined the gym, gone semi-regularly, then dropped the membership (several times). With the Total Gym I have been exercising regularly for the past two months. I have had people comment they can tell a difference in how my body looks. I can tell a difference in my strength and how I feel. And when I complete a workout, I can tell - this really exercises all of the muscle groups and gives a total workout, in a short period of time. When i am finished with my exercises my entire body feels like it's had a workout.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Using the product daily! Use workouts card and make my own to create variety in my workout!
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I have been using the gym for a month and already see amazing results. There are so many excersizes to choose from as well as the ability to customize your workout. You can do it all with this product, from Yoga stretches to Pilates to weight lifting..Great product with great results, this is a lifetime keeper.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Use the product 3 times a week. I like it because it's less pressure on my bad knee.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Storage is good
needs more calf exercises
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Have both the Total Gym 3000 and the CycloTrainer; both are easy to use, quiet and great products.
While setup was relatively easy, it still took a bit of muscling to move it from the garage where it was delivered to a room in the house. A lot for one person to move.
Overall, it's used by my wife and myself several times (if not everyday) a week.
The product is great. Getting it was a problem because it was lost by the shipper, but the Sales team worked with the shipper to "find" it.
We also the Cyclo-Trainer which came only slightly damaged (more cosmetic)
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
My wife and I have it setup in the basement. It is so convenient to use. If we only have 15 minutes to spare, we can go downstairs and get our heartrates up and get a good all round workout in. I like it so much that I quit my gym.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Everybody in the house uses our Total Gym! We all feel like we are benefiting from our workouts. The Total Gym makes it easy for us to get the exercise we need.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I got a great deal on one that was refurbished and am so glad I took the leap. I have noticed a difference already in how I feel. I can do strength exercises I could never do before. I use it about 2-3 times a week for about an hour
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
This is the second total gym we have had and have been users for 10 years now! This is a great investment for both a beginner and an advanced user! It is easy, effective, and is now made even better than the old models! This is a piece of equipment that will exercise your whole body, last you an indefinite amount of time, AND truly stands behind its name! I have never been more impressed with a piece of equipment AND the customer service that came along with it!
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I love this machine if i miss a workout i have it. I get so much out of it.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Great product. I think the box should have a big reminder to watch the video before you it up. When we got the product, we read the written instruction and took us a while to figure it out. After watching the video, gee it was so easy.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I love the CD that came with it that guides me through each exercise each day. The different levels are great because I have three men in this family and I can not exercise on the same level as they can. The work out bench is comfy and easy to change out for exercise. I really do not have anything BAD to say.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I love the machine. It is an out of the box exerciser. for a beginner like me it is very simple to use and seems to be working with wieght loss and toning up my old muscles. Thanks for a great product.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
THE ONLY NEGATIVE COMMENT I HAVE IS THAT IT IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SQUAT DOWN TO THE LOWER LEVELS BECAUSE I AM TOO HEAVY. I HOPE TO RECTIFY THIS BY USING THE TOTAL GYM OFTEN TO LOWER MY WEIGHT AND GET INTO GOOD SHAPE. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THE TOTAL GYM WILL DO THE JOB FOR ME IF I PERSEVERE.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I would have to say it works great for my needs and thats enough for me.

I love my total gym. I'm a mother of two, and I was looking for something to help me lose my baby fat. The first day I received my total gym I started right away. I'm on the total gym one hour a day, and I'm seeing great results. The total gym is very easy to use.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
i'm not shure if there is anyother quad workouts other than squats. so, quad. works seem limited. i use the total gym to strength train three times a week. i love the freedom of motion and the resistains training the total gym offers.
i have not used customer service though delivery and arrive was great. i'm always so eger to start a new work out and i've had my eye on total gym for years.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
The best thing about it is that you can design your own workout, and go at your own rate. This is important for us senior citizens.

I am a 66 year old diabetic grandfather and I use my exerciser to keep my blood levels in check by exercising. What I like about this product is all the different exercises I can do on it. I also ride a mtn bike and do low impact squats to tone and build up my legs. I love my Total Gym Im sure I'll be around to use it for years.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
Very easy to learn and easy to use. Lots of variety in exercises. Have to be careful about getting hair caught in the moving board.
Delivery was prompt, but it arrived with a broken piece and a missing accessory. I called the day after receiving the product to let them know of the broken and missing pieces. They told me they would send the pieces. 3 weeks later, I received a replacement for the broken piece, but still (6 weeks later) have not received the missing accessory.

As a Physical Therapist I bought my first Total Gym in 1983. I am very satisfied with the practical appication of Total gym for people with injuries or deficits.
I only recieved one ankle/foot belt in my box upon delivery. I bought a reconditioned model. Can someone contact me and send me the second foot/ankle strap?
Thanks,

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I like the total gym because it is the easiest workout equipment I have ever used. It is enjoyable to use and easy to setup and adjust to different exercises. The DVD workout tapes are great also. It is amazing the amount of different exercises you can do on one machine. It doesn't take up a lot of space like other machines which have wide bulky rods. It is a machine that both my wife and I love to use. I felt a difference after the first week it arrived.

MY PHYSICAL THERAPIST HAS ONE AND I WAS USING IT FOR LOW BACK PAIN. SET UP AN EXERCISE ROUTINE FOR ME. THE MORE I USED IT, THE BETTER MY BACK GOT. I FIGURED THAT THE COST OF FITNESS CLUB VS PURCHASING THE TOTAL GYM, THE TOTAL GYM WOULD PAY FOR ITSELF IN MUCH LESS THAN A YEAR AND I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE AS MUCH TIME OUT OF MY DAY TO GET THE EXERCISE I'M IN NEED OF.

I use the total gym every other day as part of my exercise routine. After losing 70 lbs in my diet program the total gym has helped restore the upper body muscle tone and strength I had lost. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Your Customer Service people are to be commended. They are knowledgeable and very helpful. Please thank them for me.

Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I use my Total Gym about four times a week and it definitely keeps me in shape. I am not sore after a day of skiing or a bike ride in the summer. It is a simple machine but very efficient in fulfilling my needs. I purchased my first unit in 1998, and I am a firm believer in the Total Gym. I have no reservations about recommending a Total Gym to my friends.
Thanks for a great product.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
I live around the corner from the gym, where I have been a loyal member of for the last 15 years. Attending at least 5 days a week. I run daily and had recently purchased a treadmill but was still in the market for a strengh training machine. What I needed was a piece of euipment that doesn't have a million parts and doesn't take up a lot of space. I was skeptical about The Total Gym because I've always worked out with weights. Well, after my first workout I knew that I wouldn't be returning it! Not only is it a space saver, I can do total body exercises on one machine. I am a petite frame and find some of the gym eqipment is designed for larger men. The total gym adjusts for body size. It provides a total body workout. I'm absolutly in love with it! I will recommend this product to everyone I know.
On time delivery. Bought a refurbished product that appears to be brand new.
Comments about Total Gym 3000:
