Compare REVIEWS: Total Gym Supreme vs XLS vs Force

Total Gym Supreme REVIEW

The price for the Total Gym is excellent and the quality is very good. However, out of the box, assembling this unit is a nightmare, and the directions are not very helpful. Even a mechanical person will find this a challenge to get together and a DVD of how to assemble the unit might be more valuable than one of the workout DVD’s. The purchase was worth it and is recommended for people who already work out in some fashion, as many of the exercises are quite challenging. As a first time exerciser, this might be a bit too much for you.

The excitement of this big purchase turned to extreme frustration when it came to assembling the unit. The directions are very confusing for someone who is not used to assembling things of this nature. A DVD showing assembly would have been great as the diagrams are so poor. The glider is not as quiet as it is shown on TV. The DVD workouts are for different machines which is very disappointing. Aggravated and disappointed, is putting it mildly!

You have to be a mechanical engineer to assemble the Total Gym with all the little parts, and pulleys and pins and screws that need to be put together. Not worth the purchase because it’s just to frustrating to put it together.

 

Total Gym XLS REVIEW

The Total Gym XLS is good for tight places or RV. It is okay but weight resistance is very low, even with the added weight bar added. You can get more resistance, cheaper stuff, and more range from Bodylastics Pro Quality Resistance Bands, or similar type bands. This device in not worth $800-$1000, in craigslist used ones routinely go for $100 of this exact model.

The infomercials show Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley for 30 minutes faking sweat and gush about the benefits of Total Gym. When ordered and set up and put on the highest setting you only get to use your own body weight as resistance. A simple push up provides greater resistance than the highest setting on Total Gym.

The sled does not accommodate a tall person. Your head will cantilever beyond the top and your neck stresses constantly without the support. It’s a hard fit getting on the sled with feet in place, knees bent and head overshooting the comfort cushion. The sled length is not a given spec but appears to be the 51″ fold up dimension.

The pad is like rock, extremely hard. Total Gym XLS is easier to adjust and would look nicer if it were not for the mis-shaped foot pad on the bed, the foam under it was cut wrong and shows a large un-even crease, very tacky. Not worth the product for the price of +$1200, $700.00 is pushing it. The workout is great but the product is really cheapened.

 

Total Gym Force REVIEW

Total Gym Force is not already assembled-but it sets up fairly quickly. The Ab pads are not attached to arms. The workouts are completely enjoyable. Exercise routines in book are set up in order of working body parts, but require more exchanging parts so it’s easier to do all the exercises with one set up and then change it instead of resetting it after each workout.

The basic equipment is “ok”, but the attachments are cheaply built, decals are ridiculous junky and unprotected, and even the matter that comes with this set is at least 2 ft too short.

This machine helps support the back when exercising. The down side about this package system is that the videos that come with it don’t coincide with all the attachment that comes in this package. You will not be able to do some exercises on the videos, since they use other attachments that don’t come with this particular system. Other than this little problem, the machine is great.

The handles spin around and are difficult to hold. The cables and these handles are meant for someone taller. Unfortunately this may result in arm twisting while pulling yourself up and may give you a shoulder pain. It takes up a lot of space in the living room. It is about 10 feet when extended. Difficult to do most of the exercises if you are short, probably better for someone taller.

The Mat that is provided is little short to maneuver the exercise machine freely. The Mat could have been little longer (at least by 1 feet) for free movement.
