I'm thinking of buying a used Total Gym. I have never used this type of exercise machine before. I would love to hear from anyone who has worked out on one of these machines before. How do you like it? Any dislikes? How good is the quality of the machine? Any mechanical problems? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
yes - don't bother - pls. save your money! it seems like such a good idea - but it is SO complicated EVERY time you want to do a different exercise - trust me - i sent mine back within a week! you are much better off investing in an ipod & downloading music to take walks with (or books on tape) if you can break away a bit...! good luck!

I have a friend who has one, and he loves it. He's also in amazing shape and is a personal trainer.
It's not something I would buy, though. Honestly, I've had gym memberships, workout machines, exercise DVD's galore and got my best workouts from just running/walking, doing pushups, crunches, and using ONE weight bar (the 15-lb, 3 ft long one).
Doesn't the machine have a 30-day money back guarantee? If so, it wouldn't hurt to try it out to see if it works for you. Best health to you, whatever you decide.
I bought the total gym from a local sports store years ago. I love it. I wish I had the money to invest in a newwer model.
My suggestion would be don't spend your money on a home gym because in time it will just collect dust and won't get used. I would just a gym before getting the total gym or walk your neighborhood or get WII Fit. Good Luck!
