Total Gym: The Infomercial Product
They are affordable and loved by millions. Total home gyms are the brand on TV infomercials endorsed by celebrities Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley. While they might seem like a cheap gimmick, these glide trainers are outstanding weight training tools.
Begun by efi Sports Medicine Inc, the Total Gym brand has been used by athletes, pro sports teams, trainers, and rehab professionals. They have sold more than a million of these units to home consumers who are quite satisfied with the quality of the machines, and the results of their weekly workouts.
These systems consist of a padded glide board that slide on an aluminum monorail. It has multi-function attachments such as a sit-up cuff strap, dual leg cuffs, twin handles, a power weight bar for adding free weights, and a pull-up push-up bar.
The resistance comes from your own body weight working with gravity while you slide comfortably on the board. If you want to increase resistance and make your workout more difficult, you siimply increase the incline on the board.
Total Gym owners have had very few problems with them even after years of continuous use. Check out customer reviews and see for yourself how current owners feel about their machines.
