My age is 56 and I have a touch of what is called scoliosis. I was so bad that I couldn't walk very far and I was always out of breath and had a slight problem in the heart area. I was really a mess.
...But now let me tell you. I bought a Total Gym and I'm now back on my feet and can walk many miles very easily. I get around better than teenagers. My chest size is 58 and my waist is 38 and getting smaller. My arms after workout in a short period are 19 1/2. My strength is getting better and I look more cut than ever. I need to work on abs, but what I have done in a short period of time is really paying off.
I'm trying to get to a point to where I can let people with all types of problems know what the Total Gym can do for them, no matter what is wrong. I use my Total Gym once in the morning and once in the evening. I love to get that pump from working out. As far as I'm concerned, everyone should own a Total Gym for it's the best equipment out on the market today.

...Since my diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis a year ago, my Total Gym has become my premiere treatment partner. I work out on my Total Gym every week. The stretching I get helps to stave off muscle spasms and aches. I started out using my Total Gym whenever I had a bout of muscle spasms in my legs or feet. I hopped on my Total Gym and did squats. I practiced a variety of positions depending on what type of spasms I was having. Now I work out on my Total Gym regularly and rarely have any surprise attacks of spasms.
...The benefits have been miraculous! I never have time to schedule a yoga class, but my Total Gym is right there at home to use anytime day or night. For me, it is the best solution possible!
Thanks for a great product!

After over a year of no exercise, I found myself almost crippled with arthritis pain. It got so bad this past winter, that I had to lift up my right arm with my left hand just to be able to write on the chalkboard. Getting out my car was a real ordeal. I literally had to crawl out on my knee, supporting my weight (which was about 50 pounds over the upper end Ideal weight for my age and height) on the car door.
Twelve weeks ago, I said, "No more." I pulled my Total Gym out and started doing 2 sets of 10 of the seated row morning and evening. That was all I could manage at first and I really felt the stretch. Gradually, I added the arm pullover and squat. I could get out of my car and write on the board with more ease after just two weeks of this stretching. Tonight I am starting week 13. I have no pain in any of my joints. I've lost 11 pounds. I just don't have the desire to eat between meals like I used to. I exercise four or five times a week. I feel like a new woman. I can't thank you enough for the new lease on life that I now have.

In 1990, I was diagnosed as having muscular dystrophy, for which there is no treatment. At that time, the doctor informed me that I should get a wheel chair and learn to use it because in less than two years I would be unable to walk, due to the muscle deterioration. I have been active all my life, golfing, swimming, fishing, camping, hiking, and bicycle riding. I was not ready to give all this up!!!
My wife saw your advertisement for the Total Gym on TV and mentioned it to me. After viewing it, I thought I would try it. I couldn't lose because I could try it free, so I did. Now ten years later, it's still the best investment I ever made. I am still walking, fishing, and playing golf from time to time. I know that I will never get better, but the Total Gym has given me extra time to enjoy life and my family.
The best thing about Total Gym is that on days I am weaker, I can still exercise at a lower level and still get a good workout. I'm glad I didn't listen to my doctor, but bought a total gym instead. I am now 57 years old and still glad to be alive!!!!!!

I have been tempted to write before, but I now feel that it is really imperative to let your company know that the Total Gym has most likely saved my life. I have emphysema, which was diagnosed in 1985 and became severe in Dec. 1996.
...I started researching what I could do to help myself live a productive life with this disease and not have this disease control my life. One of the most important things I discovered, not to discount good care from my doctors and a good healthy diet, was that the worst thing you can do with emphysema is become sedentary, so I began to exercise.
...The change in my strength and ability has improved so much, that it is as if I had never had the pneumonia. I credit that with the fact that my body was in such good shape for my condition when I got so sick. I believe that the exercises that I had been doing had given my muscles the strength they needed to carry me through this very difficult time.
...The way I feel after using the Total Gym is beyond words because it helps to clear my chest and my head, builds my strength and stamina, and just plain makes me feel good about myself for the sheer accomplishment.
With gratitude,

I have had various illnesses. Five heart attacks, stroke, and 2 abdominal operations. I purchased the Total Gym 11000 about 6 weeks ago. After using the Total Gym, I have noticed a marked difference in my general health and the toning of my body. I think that the Total Gym is a fantastic machine; therefore I intend to continue using it to further improve upon my general physical condition and hopefully, to increase my lung capacity. I think that the Total Gym is a complete and easy to use unit and it would be a worthwhile purchase to anyone wishing to tone their body and increase their stamina.

Dear Total Gym Developers and marketing staff,
...In 1996, I injured my lumbar spine resulting in a torn and herniated lower lumbar disk and too much pain for too long. I also have two fusions and two graft sites and lots of scar tissue to cause pain and the continual need to take several medications on a daily basis. Being diagnosed as a failed back patient, I felt that to be the death knell to any hopes of ever biking, hiking, blading, and playing the sports I love to play, even at the age of 41.
I had invested endless hours in physical therapy and even pool therapy, but to no avail. I have been searching for a way to be able to reduce the number of meds I need to take just to function on a daily basis. I knew deep inside that the correct exercise and conditioning program for my lower extensor muscle groups, my abdominals, and muscles supporting my posture and improvement of my posture would be the answer to my prayers. I saw your product two years ago and jumped right on it!
...What I have found is that the bulking up of my chest, neck, abdominals, arms, and shoulders has straightened out my posture and forces my "guarding" muscles to go back to work and this is totally without pain! I am so happy with the smoothness of my workout and the endless variety of exercises and variations. This is because I like to work out, but dislike the boredom of conventional workouts.
...I intend to stay with it and to be deeply dedicated to success. Success for me represents my ability to strap on the roller blades and blade with my teen son, to set my body free to play and work to its heart's content, and to feel healthy again. I will send updates every now and again and of course, let you know of the final results. Until then, thank you for your time and consideration,

I have endured lower back pain for years. I just started using my Total Gym two days ago and for the first time I did not wake up with severe lower back pain. It's a miracle! This was after only three days of the beginner's workout. Thank you-please pass this note on for advertising purposes so that others with the same problem can be informed of the benefits. No more chiropractic bills! If you need someone for a testimonial, please contact me.
Thank you,
Ann L.
