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.

Great Equipment

Review Date: May 18, 2006

Reviewer: Barb, Pennsylvania

I bought the Total Gym 4 years ago and love it. My husband and I both use it and it's so much better than any big bulky equipment and takes up very little space. You can target any area on your body you want, it does everything. Proves you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars or join a gym to get what you need.

Total Gym 1100 great buy

I was looking for an exercise machine that would help me keep in shape and tone my body. The 1100 fits the bill just right. Cost was under $200 and I have used the machine almost daily since I got it. I have used it mostly for upper body strength and I can state that it has helped me achieve that goal. I think that for many people getting a more expensive machine might be overkill. I does require some room so keep that in mind. I don't store it away and it takes up to about 8 feet in length. Best $200 I have spent in a long time. Very happy with it. PS. If you want big muscles look for something different since this is in my opinion, geared for tone and definition of the body.

Basic is the best for me

Reviewer: Dominique W,

I've owned 3 Total Gyms since 1996 and the 1100 is the best, cost efficient model out there. It allows me to complete all the basic exercises without all the bells and whistles.

Anytime I've gone for a period of time without working out, this machine was the fastest way for me to tone my major muscle groups. Cardio and weight training in one. I have saved hundreds of dollars on gym memberships by having this at home. Love it!!

I have had to replace mine about every 4 years due to wear and tear. To me this is not unreasonable because I use the machine extensively. I paid $199 for this in 1996 and paid the same in 2008. Can't beat that.

Awesome

I've been looking for a home gym that doesn't take up a lot of space when you're not using it and this total gym is the best. It's about 7-8 ft fully opened up but collapses to like 4 feet when you don't want to use it or if you have company coming around. Not to mention the work out with it is great. Just follow the tools given to you and you'll enjoy this as much as me.

Just what I needed!

Reviewer: R. Dodge,

I have had the Total Gym 1100 now for about 5 years now. I've used it in the past to rehab when I had injuries such as knee contusions, shoulder bursitis. However, for the last 6 months I've been dealing with a lower back problem. The MRI showed that I have mild stenosis from facet syndrome on my L4/L5 vertebrae. For those of you who are not familiar with this diagnosis, I can just say that if you can imagine the worst kind of pain in your legs, when you walk, rest or sleep, then you know what I've been going thru. The pain never stops and it's somewhat depressing. The Dr. wanted to do steroids shots in about 3 weeks from now and I've gone thru about 2 months of Phys Therapy. I googled this problem for a solution and the same thing came up over and over again--inversion therapy or spinal decompression. I could have bought an inversion table, but my total gym does the same thing. With the leg bar at the top, I can invert 15 minutes twice a day. I started this 8 days ago. Today, I no longer have leg pain, I can bend, walk without pain. I'm starting to ride my bike and do low impact aerobics. I'm still doing therapy floor exercises but, I don't need any shots, ect. I've stopped going to Physical Therapy about 5 days ago because I really started feeling better on the 3rd day. My Dr. knows what I'm doing and he approves as well. I really can't say how much I appreciate the Total Gym. It literally saved me from a life of pain.
