5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Fitness product!!!! Buy it, you won't be sorry!, February 9, 2007

This review is from: Bayou Fitness Pro Reformer Home Gym Total Trainer Pilates (Sports)

I bought this for my fiance and I to use. I have always had gym memberships in the past using mostly free weights, but now due to my hectic schedule, driving to a gym is not an option. I have owned a Total Gym in the past. The Total Gym is the one that Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley advertise on TV. Save yourself lots of money, don't buy one of those. The quality of this machine over the Total Gym is unbelievable. You can't compare the two, but I will anyway.

First let's talk price. The Total Gym's price is about $1800.00 the last time I checked. The Total Trainer has a cost of around $500.00. Now let's talk quality. I am a big guy (usually hover around 260 pounds at 6 feet tall) so not only was my weight a concern, but also my height and whether I could get a full range of motion with the exercises. On the Total Gym, my movements on the machine were tricky, due to its lighter construction and its propensity to wobble when I was on it. Additionally, I could not get a full range of motion on several of the movements on the Total Gym. However on the Total Trainer, I have experienced no wobbles at all. This machine is rock solid. On the Total Trainer I am able to perform all of the exercises comfortably. The third thing to compare is the accessories that come with this machine. The Total Trainer includes many more, which would cost additional money for the Total Gym. Finally, exercising on this machine is fun. In fact the first day that I had it, I enjoyed it so much I did 2 complete workouts. I paid for that in aspercreme and Tylenol (don't do that). For a person like me that enjoys power-lifting, but can't get to the gym anymore, this machine is perfect. I can't believe the level of workout that this machine gives me. I highly recommend it. My only complaint is that the machine does not have enough resistance for me on the bench press movements, or the squat movements. The machine also does not allow deadlift style movements to be performed. However, I am stronger than the typical person and if you are like me then you know that this machine will never totally replace a power rack and an Olympic bench (free weights), but still an excellent buy!!!! I really love this machine, and can get a full body workout on it. Thanks!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gym for a great price!, February 1, 2008

This review is from: Bayou Fitness Pro Reformer Home Gym Total Trainer Pilates (Sports)

I looked around at several "Total Gym" type home gyms (including Total Gym) before purchasing the Total Trainer Pilates Pro. I purchased the Pro, as opposed to the basic Total Trainer Pilates because my husband is 6'3" and I wanted him to be able to use it if he cared to.

I chose to purchase the Total Trainer Pilate Pro because of the equipment included in the price, and the construction of the gym.

The gym is very solid, very easy to set up and you can get started on it within minutes of receiving it. It had a damaged end cap (which did not impact the use of the gym) when it arrived. I called Bayou Fitness and they immediately sent out a replacement. It also came with 2 VHS tapes and I don't have a VHS machine set up. I contacted them again and they are sending out DVD's instead - no charge to me.

This gym is solid, fun and relaxing to use. I've already been experiencing a change in weight and firmness. The instruction book is easy to read and gets you started very quickly. Pad rolls smoothly on the tracks and there is no rattling of parts during the workout. The gym folds easily and rolls for storage. I keep the gym set up in my large family room and fold it up behind a couch if we have guests in our home.

The delivery box was a bit heavy for a woman to manage. So keep that in mind if you have steps and no one to help get it into the room you'll have it set up in. Once it's out of the box, you can just roll it around.

This is a great gym and Bayou Fitness has great customer service via phone or live chat online.

5.0 out of 5 stars My best purchase EVER!, January 21, 2009

Book Lover "Peace Please" (Illinois) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bayou Fitness Pro Reformer Home Gym Total Trainer Pilates (Sports)

I've owned the Total Trainer Pilates Pro since June 2008 and workout on it 5 days a week for 45 minutes (I do the total body workout 2 sets of 12 reps each exercise, but YOU can workout however YOU choose).

I bought it because of the price compared to the Total Gym. What a HUGE price difference. The Total trainer comes with ALL the attachments you will ever need.....though I did buy the new double leg attachment and some Pilates hand and foot loops which are more comfortable, IMCPO, than the ankle straps and are much easier to use...just slip your feet into the foot loops and you're ready to go. The Total Trainer Pilates also comes with all the Pilates attachments! How cool is THAT?! It's very easy to switch between the Pilates and regular workout too. That's a huge plus.

The Total Trainer is one well made piece of equipment! I have yet to have a problem with anything on it. It glides smoothly. The attachments attach in seconds and I use them all. It folds up extremely easily, though I leave mine out Monday-Friday and only fold it up for the weekend, but folding it up takes only seconds...literally, I promise!

This really is the best purchase I have ever made. I LOVE working out on the Total Trainer. It's easy, fun and most importantly...IT WORKS! I have lost 30 LBS and am still going. It is so NOT boring. There are so many different exercises you can do it's impossible to become bored with this machine.

If you're in the market for a home gym, BUY THE TOTAL TRAINER. You won't regret it.
