I've been using my Total Gym everyday for over 11 years. The two reasons I'd have to give for the faithfulness is that it is so versatile & IT WORKS! I don't dread going home after work to do my workout... well, most of the time, at least. I started around 1989 when I realized my weight of 365 lbs was no good for me. At first, all I did was walk.... a WHOLE MILE, which for a 365 lb person is a challenge. When I got in somewhat better shape I started on my Total Gym workout. ...My 30-minute workout keeps me healthy mentally, as well as physically, by looking good as well as feeling good. In 11 years, my Total Gym has seen over 3.5 million reps of the various exercises I do. So all in all, I went from 365 lbs to 215 lbs, went from a size 48 waist to a 33, and acquired a new outlook on life. Greg R. I have been using the Total Gym for about 1 1/2 years now. IT'S GREAT! After starting a program changing the way I eat, I purchased the Total Gym in August 1997 and have managed to lose and keep off 60 pounds. I went from a size 16 to a size 2/4. I have a history of back pain so aerobics were not an option for me. The Total Gym takes all the pressure off my back and gives me the workout I need. Several of my friends have purchased the Total Gym after seeing the great results I received. I just wanted to let you know what a great product you have... THANKS A MILLION!!!! Received via email - no signature About two years ago, I was starting to feel terribly sluggish and slowed down due to a weight gain of around 30 pounds. Going up a couple of flight of stairs was even tiring for me. These days, I am 30 pounds lighter {160}. My daily routine includes a brisk six-mile walk in addition to the daily workout that I get on the Total Gym. You sure can't put a price on something like that and I consider the Total gym one of the best investments that I have ever made. What really impresses me about this exercise system is how amazingly comprehensive this design is. I have always had an admiration for good engineering and this one is definitely on top of my list. Not only in it's capability to address every muscle group, but also the characteristic way it stretches you and supports you and all very smoothly with it's nylon rollers and glideboard. Thanks Total gym, for one incredible product. Lee First, let me start by saying I hate exercising which is probably one of the reasons I now have so much weight to lose. I have tried the workout tapes and different exercise machines, like treadmill, stepper, rowing machine, but I would get so bored just doing the same thing over and over that I would lose interest. I can't even remember exactly when I saw the infomercial the first time, but I watched many times and thought, hey that looks cool. Then I made my husband watch, (he's a Chuck Norris fan) and got him thinking about it. I just have to tell you I love my Total Gym. I have been doing it almost every day for 5 weeks now and I have lost 12 inches so far and I love to do it. I just had to say thank you. Sincerely, Karen C. I have been using the Total Gym for four weeks. In that time, I have lost 15 lbs of fat and added 6 lbs of muscle mass. My shape and definition have greatly improved along with increased levels of energy. I look forward to working out everyday and wish I could do it twice daily. As a former martial artist who competed in the 1960-70's, workouts were often tiring and boring. The Total Gym has changed all of this. It is fun, exciting, and very habit forming. The best part is the results. If you ever plan to promote this wonderful product in the south region (I live in Atlanta, GA), I would gladly offer my time to help promote this worthwhile exercise equipment. Well got to go! Its time for fun and games... my workout with the TOTAL GYM! Stan A. I started working out on the Total Gym in Sept 2000, and I wanted to own a machine, but was skeptical. I went to John Carleo's gym and tried to use the Total Gym. Now I am not an ordinary person; I weighed 300 lbs and I am 5'4''. I tried the Total Gym after I spoke with my doctor and he gave me the go ahead. Let me tell you, I went through a mini version of the program and crumpled to the bottom of the machine on my first try as my body was not used to exercise at all. It took three men to help me to my feet; I wasn't embarrassed, but became more determined. I wish I had a video of myself. I have been going to the gym 3 times a week and own a 24000 and I love it. I have lost 40 lbs and have more energy than ever; the transformation is amazing. I have an autoimmune disease as well which zaps my strength and I have good days and bad, but I rarely miss a workout. If someone had told me I would have had more energy by exercising, I would not have believed them. I now have my husband doing it and he has had a double bypass. He is feeling more strength as well. My daughter has also been going since January. I thank you for this machine. Now I do not come home from work and go to bed but go on to the activity of living. In December of 1999, I received some pictures from a recent visit at a friend's house. I was floored. I couldn't believe what I saw, an overweight, flabby, 40-year old female. Was it really me? Is this what people saw? No wonder I was feeling so blue and tired. Right then and there I decided that things had to change. I have two little girls to keep up with everyday and I wanted them to have a mom they could be proud of, one that set a good example. First, I started changing my eating habits, then I decided I really needed to exercise. I've tried in the past, but I just couldn't get in the groove. After some research, I decided that weight training just could be the thing for me, muscle tone and results. ...My husband totally surprised me at Christmas when I went downstairs to find a Total Gym sitting in our family room. Now I knew I had to get serious and start working out. Well it was slow going at first, but I kept at it. Now I exercise every other day for about 45 minutes. I love it! So far I have dropped one pants size and lost 18 pounds. I feel and look stronger, firmer and happier. I've bought new clothes, changed my hairstyle and pamper myself once in awhile. It has really given me a new perspective on life in general. Now instead of finding excuses to avoid exercise, I look for every opportunity to exercise. No matter how busy things get, and believe me they get hectic at times, I make the time to workout. My husband always tells me I look terrific now. In fact I think some of this healthy living is starting to wear off on him. Can't wait to see that friend again. Only this time the pictures will tell a whole different story. Thanks Total Gym, Rose Mary K. At age 49, I thought I was in relatively good shape. I have a remolding business that keeps me busy. I joined a local gym to keep my muscles stretched and strengthened. My problem was getting to the gym on a regular basis. I was always interested in the Total Gym when I saw the commercial and finally made the call. Now at age 50, I have lost 12 lbs, my "love handles" and have extra energy. This is due to a better diet and the regular exercise I get with the Total Gym. Thank you. Charlie L. I just recently started using your Total Gym and I can't believe the inches that I've lost. I just started losing weight about 3 months ago. I have only been using the Total Gym one month of the 3 and in that month, I have lost 4 inches on my upper body! I've wanted to lose weight for sometime now and I believe that my time is now! I'm tired of being overweight and I'm only 23 yrs old. I have a life ahead of me. I am not yet married and I don't have kids, but I plan on it in a few years and I want to be active with them. I don't want to be a deadbeat mom so, I have started working out. ...I feel SO much better about myself! Thank you for making this available! It works for me and I love the way I feel when I'm finished working out! Jen T. I have been working out with the Total Gym 1100 for the past 5 months using the Intermediate Training Program. I must say that I am very pleased with the results. The machine you developed is excellent. I use to work out with machines such as Nautilus etc. at a local commercial gym. I also worked out in my basement with some free weights. But I have discovered that my Total Gym provides safer, more effective, and more convenient workouts. I now only go to the gym to use their stationary bikes. I have noticed significant improvements with my physique since I have been using Total Gym. I have also noticed that I am more flexible. Needless to say, I am very happy with my Total Gym. Sincerely, Stuart K. I just wanted to email you to say I love my Total Gym! I got it at the beginning of March and use it faithfully. I have to brag; I look great and my body has changed just in the short time I have been using the Total Gym. I finally got into a pair of jeans I wouldn't dare take out of the drawer before I started working out on the machine. Again, I love this machine and am so thankful I purchased it! Molly H.
