Total Gym 2000

The Total Gym is one of the most complete home exercise systems on the market and this is not just my opinion. In addition to many celebrities such as Chuck Norris, Christie Brinkley & Wesley Snipes many Olympic Medalists & professional athletes gladly endorse the Total Gym. The beauty of the system is its efficiency. The Total Gym is a great time saver and sure-fire way to lose weight fast.

The Total Gym is manufactured to the highest quality standards and is a great value for the money. Compared to all the separate pieces of equipment you would have to buy to perform the same exercises that a Total Gym can the savings in time, space and money are incredible. As a bonus there is virtually no assembly required and it is easy to fold up and store under your bed. Try that with a BowFlex or a NordicTrak.

In a study on infomercial-based home gyms by Dr. Marc Rabinoff of Metropolitan State College of Denver and founder of Professionals Against Fitness Fraud, Total Gym came out on top and was deemed to be the most user-friendly. "It's a good home product for use by the general public," says Rabinoff.

Unlike many infomercial products that are based on hype and false promises, consumers and professionals recognize Total Gym as a legitimate machine that is based on sound technology and exercise principles.

The American Council on Exercise (ACE), the nonprofit watchdog organization that regularly conducts university-based studies on the effectiveness of infomercial products and their claims, cited Total Gym in its publication ACE FitnessMatters. In 1999, an editor's note states: "(Total Gym) has largely relied on the product's merits to make the sale - not outrageous claims."

Well worth it....

Best thing I ever bought for myself. I began using my Total Gym XLS on January 17th, 2009. I measured myself on that day. On Feb 15th, 2009 I re-measured and found that I lost 3" around my waist and 1" around the " bra back fat" that us women hate. Not to mention I've begun to tone quite a bit. My arms are becoming nice and solid instead of jiggly. My legs and buns have also begun to tone quite nicely. I use the Total Gym 4 days a week and run 2 days. I love it! I've recommended it to everyone I know.

See the transformation!

This is the first exercise equipment I have ever purchased. I had been a very infrequent exerciser (work was my exercise)until I got the total gym. It was easy to use from the start. I started with the 6 day workout with DVD, and now I'm doing them on my own---and have increased my strength level substantially. I have been using it daily for about a month & I can see muscle definition that I haven't ever seen. I actually look forward to working out. To be able to say that I do 100 sit-ups a day is crazy! I used to not be able to do 2! I can't wait to see the future results!
