If you really wanna get ripped or do some serious muscle building, training for a sport or body sculpting, join a gym or buy a more pricey machine. If you're already in good shape & want to be even better, you don't need a Total Gym. If you want a rock hard 6 pack, this won't do that for most people. If you wanna get get rid of your gut & have a flat abdomen, this will do that. If you haven't been off the couch in a while and want to lose weight, build strength and shape up, this is a good machine to start with (and you can often find them cheap used). At the lowest settings it is easy enough for someone totally out of shape and it'll last you a good while as you can raise the incline to make it more challenging as you progress. You have the choice of more reps at a less challenging setting or fewer at a more challenging one. There are a lot of exercises you can do to target your problem areas and it is true that, even if you just get on this thing a couple times a week for 20 minutes or so, you will get some noticeable results. You may be happy w/ those results or eventually want more, that is up to you, but this is a great machine to get you off to a good start that won't cost you a fortune or be so hard you give up right away. I have had mine for years and it still works great as they are sturdy. After a lengthy illness, surgery, recovery & medication that caused weight gain, I found I had packed on about 30 pounds and looked like a potato. Being a lady over 50 and so out of shape, I needed to start gradually, so I got my Total Gym back out and it is perfect for me and really helping me to peel off those pounds and I know I look better as I am getting compliments and my clothes fit better and I can get rid of the bigger ones soon. I am also eating healthy, walking and using a Gazelle in place of or in additon to walking sometimes.
There are some down sides to the Total Gym. They make it look like it's real easy to fold up & put away under the bed and it is not. Unless you have a tall bed, it won't even fit. It is very heavy and takes some doing to get it flat and move it around- it's kind of like trying to move a dead body (not that I ever have, but you know what I mean!). It can also be hard sometimes to get those rods to fit thru the holes to change the settings- you gotta wiggle it & struggle w/ them. You pretty much have to be able to lift it, it does not move easily on carpet or a hard floor. You will like Total Gym better if you have an area where you can leave it set up most of the time, but it does take up a lot of space (length) when set up. If you are significantly overweight, you may find it uncomfortable as it is not real wide, but it's fine for me.
Depending on what you want, this may be the perfect machine for you!
