Total Gym APEX Versatile Indoor Home Gym Workout Total Body Strength Training Fitness Equipment

First big purchase on Amazon. It came and cannot fault it. It is really well made. Love it and protective of it as I want it to last for 20 years. The couriers do well to distribute as it is extremely heavy. Prefer to leave it permanently set up at home as it is awkward and heavy to fold up, but doable if space is needed and can do by myself. Just not my favourite thing to do.

I was looking for a weight machine to accompany my recumbent bike for a home gym. Most were just too big for the room. I really wanted something that folded away when not in use, as this room doubles as my home office. I remember seeing the Total Gym a few years back and began looking at them, reading the reviews, and watching some videos on You Tube. Total Gym does not use weights in its main function, its based on resistance. I ordered the Total Gym Apex G5 at a price below what the weight machine I was considering would have cost. My decision was an easy one to make. I looked at all the exercises I wanted to incorporate in a workout routine, and every one of them I could do on a weight machine, could also be done on the Total Gym AND achieve a nearly identical result. If I were to max out the ten resistance levels The Apex G5 gives me, there were other ways to increase the amount of resistance in the future. It can be done by adding a weight bar and weights to the sliding bench or using resistance bands. My intent was not to use the Total Gym to replace free weights or as a tool for "power lifting". Its about getting toned and develop some muscle definition with out getting involved in the whole "join a gym" thing. It folds up out of the way when not in use, easy to set up and allows me to work out to my schedule with out going to a gym and pay the fees that come with it. There are videos on you tube by "Sliding bench trainer" that's like having your own personal trainer. Amazon shipped it with 2 hours of ordering it and I had it the following day! It weighed about 80 pounds, I took it down stairs, opened up the box and had it set up in about ten minutes. It's a very sturdy, stable unit and excellent quality. Give the Total Gym some consideration. They have 3 different Apex models. I chose the Apex G5 so I would have enough resistance levels to move up to in the future. Well worth the price.... very satisfied!

Tired of the gyms being open and closed and open and closed because of covid ... so I really looked into different types of home gyms. I am 57 years young and not in bad shape. I do mostly cardio, I use the elliptical and treadmill mostly. I joined Pilates here in town and it was $200.00 a month. I have to say, I felt great after those classes, but crazy expensive. Plus every time it started to get good, covid shut that down as well. This machine reminded me of the reformer, which was a huge plus for me. So after countless searches and reading reviews and watching videos, I decided on the total gym. I received it quick, was surprised came so fast. When it came to putting it together.. well not gonna lie ... my adult kids did it for me. lol Looked easy enough! lol I was missing a small part and messaged seller. They answered back so quickly. I was totally impressed with my experience so far. So after they put it together and we were figuring out how to use it ... we all had a go at it and it was fun! I did a few movements on it, but as they were all over for dinner I couldn’t start right away, but I wanted to!!! I am planning to start getting into a routine with it tonight. This morning when I sat up in bed and my stomach kinda hurt. I thought UGHHHH growing old sucks!!! Then I thought.. wait a min. that's not age pain ... that's sore muscles!!! YAAAAYYYY!!! That tiny bit I did do ... I felt! SO HAPPY!!! LOL I have recommended this machine to a friend and I am sure she will purchasing one and from these guys as well! 

I have read many reviews before buying this machine and I can honestly say, that it's as good as people say it is. The quality and craftsmanship are top notch. The workouts are a joy and they are easy on the joints. I highly recommend this machine as a home gym.

Very happy with every aspect of service and the gym itself is as described , faultless. Thank you . Highly recommended
