Does anyone have the Total Gym Ultimate? My husband and I were watching the infommerical and called the number only to find out it was $1,900. I looked on Craig's List and yesterday we went and picked up a brand new one, never been opened - still in box, for $250. I did my arms last night and legs are tonight. Just wondered if anyone else used this and if they have had success.

Never used it, but if you follow a good workout plan (I assume it came with a DVD or booklet), you should definitely see results.
The machine/weight/band rarely matters. It's all about how, and how often, you use them!0 -
Yes it came with two DVDs and an exercise booklet. My husband pretty much knows how to use everything - he's a drummer and already fit - so I think it will work out well. I just need to make sure I use it six days a week and get in cardio.0

As long as it doesn't wind up as a clothing rack or place for the cat to curl up, you should see results. One thing I can guarantee you, the original owner didn't get much out of it. You at least got it out of the box. That has to count for something. LOL0

I have a cheap knockoff (Weider Bodyworks 5000) and LOVE IT!!! The main thing is to not get bored and change-it up to however your feel. I try to stay on it for 45 minutes and use 2lb dumbells 20lb dumbells 10lb medicine ball and even a 36lb kettelbell to mix things up. I track my calories burned on a Polar Heart Rate Monitor so I'm determined not to cheat. Good music is key to stay motivated. There have been many times I was going to stop when a good song would come on and I would get in an extra 20 minutes without even knowing it. Great strengh and Cardio workout. Also look on youtube for creative ideas.
