The Total Gym is designed to work out every muscle group in the body, using one machine. It has achieved almost cult like status, being used by celebrities, personal trainers, and athletes, hospitals and found in commercial gyms all across the country.

Why is the Total Gym Unique?
This gym is unique because it allows users to work out their entire bodies in just 15 to 20 minutes a day. Users love the fact that the Total Gym can be folded up and stored in their closets or out of sight when not in use, to free up valuable floor space. The Total Gym is also less stressful on the joints of the body then running or walking outside and the machine allows you to do all the same exercises found at the gym but using only one machine, making it more convenient and cheaper than having a monthly gym membership.
With the ability to choose over 80 exercises and change the resistant level you add a lot of variety to your exercise program and prevent boredom. It also manufactures exercise videos that can be used to get the most out of the exercise machine and maintain a varied workout plan.
A number of different accessories can also be added to the fitness machine in order to customize your workout.
– The AbCrunch accessory allows user to add several new exercises to help flatten and sculpt the stomach.
– A weight bar can be added to aid in building muscle and add up to 75 pounds for resistance.
– A press up bar is a popular addition for strengthening the upper back and triceps.
