We purchased the Total Gym 1800 Club and were very pleasantly surprised at how complete the machine is..it has many accessories to allow a person to build or rebuild muscles…my husband is using it to help restore full function to his legs, and in the process it is helping his shoulder, which has had limited range of motion for 12 years…something he thought impossible. The human body is amazing, and function can be restored to muscles; the Total Gym is a terrific aid for many muscular functions.
This is a great, simple machine. You can adjust to any work out level of ability. The concept and function allows you an almost full range of motion which forces you to use many of the small muscles also. Going through your workout (per set) without stopping is great cardio. It is as the tv commercials say it is.
Like some of the people who have reviewed and purchased this item, I started out initially looking at the 1100 series Total Gym solution. The concern I shared with the rest of the viewers was there wasnt too much information about the 1800 here on Amazon, or on Youtube to compare it with say 12/1300 series. The manufacturer virtually has no information on it either. I took a chance and decided to test it out myself. I must say I dont have any regrets purchasing it. I’ve had this item for a few days and I know I am enjoying every bit of it. Since my legs are already pretty well built, my focus is upper body and abs, which this solution does very well.
Pros:
Excellent upper body workout. several dozen different types of workouts can be performed on this gym. Its a good choice for beginners. It comes with a handy manual demonstrating the different exercises that can be performed. The manual will filter the exercises according to level of intensity, targeted muscles, and gender. Easy to slide around carpet. Relatively inexpensive compared to other complete gym solutions. Received it in two days with amazon prime
Cons:
DVD included is low grade quality to say the least. Fortunately, you can YouTube some exercise routines for the Total Gym solution provided by users like you. Grip will probably come torn out of the box, and will most certainly tear some more with minimal use. Changing pins to add/remove accessories for different workout setups is annoying, and its a workout itself. You will probably get over this annoyance after a couple of days of a full workout. The gym is not easy to unfold and fold for storage purposes. The initial assembly will probably take you an hour and a half (half of that is understanding the instructions).
This product is well worth the price. It is simple to use, and the attachments can be changed quickly and easily. The item was delivered promptly, well ahead of the announced delivery date. I have recommended this item the family and friends.
so far this seem to be a excellent machine. it is great for the upper body but ok at best for your legs. you don’t get nearly as good as you would doing squats with a barbell and weights,ect.
