Best home gym for the money,
By As a complement to free weights (Powerblock Prorexan Pro), this gym completes what I need: variety for exercises to keep muscles growing. Cable exercises give constant tension when going through the entire range of motion. This machine replicates that feeling and simulates exercises similar to handstand pushups, pullups and every exercise for the body that you can think of (ie Bench, Rows, Curls, extensions, incline situps). The limitation comes to exercises for legs. Although 100 pounds can be added and an exercise similar to leg curls is available, you will need to look for other exercises to 'overload' the muscles. Instructions, a video, workout cards with prescribed routines are provided. The machine is 95% assembled except for the foot rest. As for the machine, setup took less than 10 minutes. Motion is smooth with the ball bearing setup. Only certain exercises make you notice the notch in the middle of the track where there is a noticeable click (majority of exercises do not precipitate the clicking noise). The chrome finish and leather like vinyl cover with 2 inches of padding is nice. Action is smooth and the accessories included tops the higher end gyms such as the Infomercial Total Gym and Bowflex (ie straight bar, leg attachment, pull up and incline bar, deluxe oversized platform for leg exercises). The option to add weights is another advantage over conventional machines of this genre. One limitation is that ropes instead of cables were used; however, there is a lifetime replacement on the pulleys, cables and rollers (this is more than I can say for competitors). The foot rest could be designed to be sturdier (it does tend to sway slightly). As for safety, two pins lock the incline in place (one metal, one plastic). This machine is excellent for beginners, intermediate and advanced bodybuilders and athletes. Although not the end all for the advanced bodybuilders, this machine helps augment free weights and is excellent for a supplement to routines. For pilates enthusiasts, a pilates machine is available. For my first workout, I did the following sequence: Rows, Seated Bench press, Pull ups, Supine bench press (x3 sets) Military presses, biceps curls, triceps extensions, squats and leg curls (x 3 sets) The transition between exercises were pretty simple and circuit training can easily be implemented. Pulley position has to be changed when doing "advanced exercises" such as upright rows, supine bench presses, kneeling curls, etc. Workouts are 'fun' and I look forward to exercising regularly. Due to its flexibility and ease of changing resistance, two training partners of different levels can workout together without much trouble. Item has a 1 year warranty on the remainder of the parts. Highly recommend Bayou Fitness and the DLX III! Update: 2 years since I bought this machine and it is still working well for me. I have found that the smooth operation along its tracks to be holding up well. The nylon cords are still holding up despite rigorous use. The only exercise equipment that I have ever owned that is not a rack for drying clothes :)

This review is from: Bayou Fitness Total Trainer DLX Home Gym (Sports)
I purchased this product for my wifes birthday. the ad shows someone moving it around effortlessly, not so. It is very heavy and hard to store so we elected to leave it set up. It is a rugged piece of equipment so we are going to keep it. So before you buy this make sure you have room to keep it set up.

Total Trainer DLX Black,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bayou Fitness Total Trainer DLX Home Gym (Sports)
I've had this product for about a month. Total Trainer DLX Black No complaints so far. Easy to set up. Instructions and photos clear. Takes some time to try and select the exercises. I found a couple of exercises (curls and crunches) which I prefer to do with traditional free weights - which I have had for years. Someone not used to weight lifting would likely find the Trainer perfectly adequate for those exercise. One benefit is hard to explain since it is totally subjective. Thus far I find the apparatus to be sort of self motivating, i.e., it's kind of fun and therefor more likely to be used. Perhaps that will change as the novelty wears off. It appears to be suitable for almost anyone of any age or fitness level except a serious weight lifter or other super athlete.
