Total Gym 1600, c 751496, Black

It wasn't the easiest to put together but it also wasn't the hardest I've ever dealt with either. Once I did get it assembled and started using it. I loved it. Switching between the attach-on handles and the cables I do pull-ups,bench, curls, Overheads, Pull downs, pull backs, rows, and more. It is great for me as I am a senior citizen. It is not for the heavy weight lifter as due to working with your body weight on a slanted sliding bench It maxes out at about 60% of your body weight. Great for lighter weight repetitions. There are several good cds and videos on how to use this equipment. As my grandson (13 who also uses it ) said: " If its good enough for Chuck Norris its good enough for me."

This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I've toyed with the idea of purchasing a Total Gym for years - maybe decades. I'm so glad I bit the bullet and purchased this affordable model on Amazon (Total Gym 1600). It does not have the ab crunch accessory (& according to an online chat with a Total Gym rep it is not compatible with the ab crunch attachments) but you can sort of work around it using the bar on the back and the push up wings. Even if you find that too difficult, there is PLENTY you can do on this machine as is and I feel strong and healthy using it. I've only used it 2-3 times and week for about 3 months but I can see and feel my body and my muscles building definition.I love this machine!!! I watched the video once to learn the moves and now I just hop on it and play around while watching tv and still reap benefits. This is by far my favorite way to exercise.

I agree with some of the other reviewers that this is much more of a machine to maintain muscle tone, rather than build mass like a bodybuilder. The resistance offered by the machine was at first a little disappointing, as some of the exercises weren't challenging enough to produce muscle failure. Then I simply switched to doing reps with one arm (or leg) at a time, and discovered that I could get a great workout. It's fairly easy to move around and set up, although I could imagine a smaller, weaker person having trouble moving it (I estimate the weight to be about 50 lbs.)All in all, it's a nice piece of equipment to add some resistance training to your workouts

This is the best thing I have ever purchased next to my Apple products ‘ lol. This is waaay better than I have even imagined. Package was in excellent condition compared to the bad reviews on walmart. This machine allows you to work EVERY PART of your body with various diff exercises. Shipping was reasonable. Pricing was amazing! Product is in excellent condition when arrived. Me and my fiancé LOVE THIS! It is quite long if you don’t have much space. But we have a separate room for it so it’s okay. I loveeeee this!!! If you are hesitant about purchasing this - I would just go and take the risk (on amazon - the other sites all have complained about damaged boxes and broken parts so I avoided them.) def recommend! Won’t regret!

Very stable piece of workout equipment. It was fairly easy to put together - the directions seemed a bit scattered but for the most part it was fairly easy to complete the assembly. I have found the workout manual to be very helpful and the ease in which you can flow from exercise to exercise quite simple and very quick. I would have liked to have seen a bit more of an incline option but perhaps that's an option on the more expensive models. Very compact when folded up and pretty easy to move. All around I'm very pleased with the purchase of this unit!

Works way better than I expected and provides a great workout. If you’re not a gym rat or prefer to work out in the privacy of your own home, this is for you.No assembly required. You can pull it out, unwrap it and start working out. Getting familiar with how to use the attachments can take some time but otherwise no complaints.This thing easily folds up and slips under a bed or in a closet. The only problem is what to do with the attachments. I use an old duffel bag to keep them all together and put away neatly.

We are very happy with this total gym. We've only had it a day, but so far it arrived in great shape, was easy to set up, and works great for both myself and my husband. I'm 5'4 at 130lbs, and he's 6'1 at 200lbs, to give you an idea! We almost went with the weider because it was cheaper, but this one just looked so much more sturdy, and we'd like to use it for a nice long time. So I think we made the right choice getting the tried n true Total Gym!

I'm still checking it out, but seems to be a good value (at least for what I paid).I have a very old one that I have used a lot and have been extremely happy with, but it finally started to show its age. I hope this one lasts as long.One very big design flaw - you cannot fold it together without moving the slide roller out of the way.
