If you are a serious bodybuilder, this is probably not the home gym for you. But if you are looking to tone up and strenghten your whole body, or, if you are like me, over 55 and trying not to lose any more muscle mass :) this is GREAT piece of equipment! After just a couple days of getting used to the gym, it takes just seconds to change the resistance level, add or remove the wing attachment, or add or remove the cable pulley for the various exercises. The included DVDs, flip chart, and wall chart make it easy to tailor your workout to your personal goals. It is a well made piece of equipment and glides very smoothly. Improvements come quickly at first - I have already moved up a level of resistance in several exercises. Highly recommended.

McLuin Fri, 30 Jul 2010 05:56:38 +0000 http://www.cordellbros.com/total-gym-xl/#comment-931 I watched the Total Gym infomercials for, I must say, 3 or more years, before purchasing. <br />The first one I purchased, used, was the Total Gym 1500. I liked it, but the limitations (you cannot <br />add on accessories, Pilates, etc) was kind of disappointing, when I saw the Models XL and XLS. <br />I saw Christie Brinkley, bouncing up and down on that round pad, and I said I WANT THAT ONE. <br />(the 1500 does not have the padded squat stand). <br /> <br /> So, I was finally able to get the model xl from someone who was moving out of state, and had <br />it listed for sale, I made a VERY low offer, and to my surprise, he accepted. He showed me how <br />to fold it up, and unfold (very different from the 1500), and I drove it home, set it up, and tried it out. <br />I fell in love instantly. I plan to lose about 60 pounds within the coming 8 months, and I know with <br />this by my side, I WILL DO IT. <br /> <br /> VERY high quality, stable, safe. FUN! I have three DVDs waiting to teach me tons of new <br />exercises, and this XL included ALL the bells and whistles, which you have to purchase separately, <br />now I don't, LOL! You can feel it working from the first time you do ONE exercise. Plus, it is in your <br />home, so no "excuse" for not wanting to go to the gym, when it is in the next room! <br /> <br /> I love it very much, and plan to maintain it with the proper care, oiling and cleaning. <br />If you are wondering if it is worth it. I would advise, wait until you can afford the best model that <br />you can spend for. XL for me, is perfect. I have heard the 2000 or 3000 are ok, too. <br />The 1500 is all right for a beginner but if you really want to work it BIG TIME, you will want <br />the accessories, and the 1500 won't take them. <br /> <br /> Good luck with your choice, and Total Gym XL Rocks! :) Rating:<img src="http://cordellbros.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/rate-5.gif"/> I watched the Total Gym infomercials for, I must say, 3 or more years, before purchasing.

VERY high quality, stable, safe. FUN! I have three DVDs waiting to teach me tons of new

The 1500 is all right for a beginner but if you really want to work it BIG TIME, you will want

the accessories, and the 1500 won’t take them.

Good luck with your choice, and Total Gym XL Rocks! :)
