There’s a good reason that the Total Gym infomercial is the longest-running of all time… it’s a great product! Unlike many of the skin creams and vitamin pills, the Total Gym is actually used and endorsed by a wide range (not just a select few) physiotherapists and health professionals. If you’re into home workouts, here are the top 5 reasons to get a Total Gym!

1. They take up very little space

Single-exercise machines may be a bit cheaper… but you need a decent sized dedicated space to get a proper full-body workouts with only single exercise machines. The Total Gym fits neatly in a corner.

2. It allows over 100 different exercises and different resistance levels

Total Gym allows many more exercises that a whole gym full of equipment can, and offers different resistance levels with the safer, more natural aid of gravity.

3. You can flow easily from one exercise to the next

Simply changing your body positioning, the incline of your arms or trunk can allow you to change to a different exercise. It really flows.

4. It mimics natural movements

One of the reasons that physiotherapists and medical professionals have been so enthusiastic about the Total Gym is the resemblance of the movements to things you would do everyday. Unnatural movements are a prime cause of injury.

5. It gives you a cardio workout as well as weight training

Lower your resistance and do your reps a bit faster, and you have an intense cardio workout!

And a bonus point, number 6… who can resist the combination of Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley?!
