Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Want to tone your entire body without buying a complete home gym? Check out the Total Gym 1100, which helps you strengthen and sculpt every major muscle group in your body. Offering more than 60 different exercises, the Total Gym 1100 works by making you lift a percentage of your body weight against gravity, making the resistance smooth and fluid. As your strength and conditioning improves, you increase the total resistance by boosting the incline, thus increasing the body weight lifted in the exercise. The Total Gym 1100 not only works your upper body, but also your lower body, abdominals, and even your cardiovascular system. The compact, efficient trainer can replace an entire gym of equipment, yet folds away for easy storage in a closet. Also outfitted with wing and leg attachments, the Total Gym 1100 measures 99.5 by 43.75 by 16 inches (W x H x D), weighs 54 pounds, and carries a one-year warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good buy for beginners, September 21, 2006

Yes, there are a few downsides to this system. It can take up a bit of floorspace, and it is a bit pricey. But... I had this system a few years ago and loved it. I had to sell it when I moved into a tiny apartment and needed all the space I could get. I recently repurchased the item again and don't regret it at all. There are so many exercises you can perform with this unit, and after two and a half weeks I'm already seeing results. This is a great product for beginners or for those who want an inexpensive home gym.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, must understand limitations, June 11, 2008

By

This review is from: Total Gym 1100 (Sports)

The Total Gym 1100 is a great value given its low price combined with the number of exercise you can perform. I rated it 4 starts, but 3.5 would be more accurate. Buying the more expensive models does not greatly increase what you can do; it just improves the quality and throws in a few accessories. You can get a pretty good upper body workout on this machine, but this in not the machine if you want to do a lot of work on your legs or abs. The construction and components are not high quality, but that should be expected when buying the base line model. Nothing has broken yet, but some of the padding is showing major signs of wear after only a few months. This is a great item to if you want a good (not great) workout at a very low price, just don't expect it to do everything.

Pros:
- Can perform most of the same exercise as more expensive models
- Fairly easy to move and store away
- Good upper body workout, especially shoulders
- Great Value
- Amazon Shipping was great
Cons:
- Not for developing muscle mass, nor is it great for lower body or core
- Quality of machine/components is not very good (this should be expected for the price)

3.0 out of 5 stars Good workout, however..., May 26, 2007

...not very convenient. It's been advertised as being easy to fold up and store almost anywhere. Well, it's not that easy. It's quite heavy and awkward. It does provide a good workout, though. It's very diverse so you can work on almost any area. If you're looking for something like that, then I recommend the Total Gym, but don't expect it to be as simple as shown on television.
