I am looking into buying a total gym. i took classes on it a couple of years ago at my local gym and loved it (it wasn't the total gym brand but it was the same concept.) My question is for those of you that have one, or one like it. I have looked online and they seem to range from a couple hundred dollars to a couple thousand dollars. Which models do you guys have and what was the cost. I just want one that you can do the basic excercises on but, it has to have the foot plate caust I want to do squats too. Thanks for any recs.

    It's been a long time since I bought mine, but I bought it from QVC. I had originally ordered it directly through Total Gym and it was $1,500, but then I just happened to see QVC selling the same thing for around $250 and cancelled my order from Total Gym and purchased it through them instead.

    Long story short, check out either QVC. You can get it cheaper and they usually have a payment plan. Also, check craigslist.

    I don't know what model I have, but I've had it a long time so I doubt they make it anymore.

    Hi:smile:
    I bought a total gym and hardly used it. It is in the garage right now collecting dust. I'd sell it to you if you were closer.
    I thought I would like it, but I didn't use it. Currently, I'm going to a gym.

    My brother gave us a total gym a few years ago. My wife enjoyed it, but I didn't see much gain from using it. A couple months ago, I found a bowflex ultimate on craigslist for only $400. I use it three days a week, and think it is a much better piece of equipment.

    Whatever you go with, I would check craigslist for used. THe guy we bought it from paid $2,400 and only used it three times. We are getting a much better deal than he did.
