Designed by EFI Sports Medicine, the “Total Gym” is a wonder for people who enjoy being in shape. The machine is used for Pilates training, stretching and strength training and much more and has been manufactured to serve three different classes of customers: Home Consumers, Fitness facilities and Medical Facilities. The Total Gym is endorsed by Christie Brinkley who has used it for over 10 years now and Chuck Norris who also has been using Total Gym for more than 30 years now. This product allows you to stay fit with just about 20 minutes of workout at your home every day. You get a number of exercises in one machine in the comfort of your living room and it helps you stay fit, build muscle, lose weight, get in shape and tone your body like it was never before.

PROS:
The Total Gym is not just any other fitness gimmick which is endorsed by celebs, but is a very legitimate resistance training machine. The best part about the machine is that it requires only your body weight as resistance. This in turn is responsible for using core muscles while exercising. This is beneficial in two ways, your targeted muscles get the workout that is needed and it also works on your core muscles which are often neglected. The work out of core muscles allows you to perform your daily activities more efficiently and will also help in tightening your mid-section.

You can also avail the 30 Day trial which comes along with FREE shipping and you can start working out within just a few minutes of receiving your own personal Total Gym. The equipment is designed in such a way that you can fold it flat and store it against a wall, under a bed or even in a closet. It takes just as much space as an ironing board. If Total Gym does not meet your expectations, you can always return it without any hassles.

CONS:
Even though Total Gym is a great equipment but it won’t do much good to athletes, body builders or power lifters who are looking to increase strength. A misconception about the machine is that it is a great cardio machine. Exercises like circuit training, seated rowing motion or any other work out on the Total Gym will increase your heart rate but the benefit compared to a 30 minute sustained aerobic activity when bicycling or running is minimal. Total Gym gives a great workout and the variety of exercises is also great but the intensity of a workout in a gym can never be replaced by the Total Gym.

BEST FEATURES:
With Total Gym you will be able to target specific muscles and isolate muscle groups, which helps in targeting all the areas of the body. Working out on the Total Gym, boosts your metabolism rate and helps you burn more calories for a fit body. Total Gym allows you to isolate Arms, Abs, Back, Legs, Shoulders and Chest to form a complete home training system.
