It is very expensive. I have an XLS. I love it. Gravity is gravity.

it comes standard with the GTS and Encompass models, which are commercial quality. It is not available on the consumer home units. However many choose these professional models for their home.

I was trying to talk myself into getting a GTS, seeing that flat bench just sold me on it. That solves what is probably the only thing I don't love about the traditional total gym.

@@totalgym They really should offer a swap out Glide board for the consumer models. I have a hunch you would sell countless of those boards, that can go horizontal like that. I would immediately purchase for my Fit model.

Yes this machine is amazing. a bit more expensive, and you get the benefits of the higher price with the quality and features.

The FIT Plus will meet the needs of most folks. If you're on Facebook join the group called Total Gym Addicts. It's the best place to hang out with thousands of Total Gym owners, get help, ideas for workouts, etc.

You can find a complete list here totalgym.com/pages/elevate-videos

Yes, that's what I would like to do - buy used - but they do not come up for sale too often.

Skyler King, and Primitive Fitness YT channels.

@@Besokool those were the select few people I was referring to that's ironic lol

@@chaddickens4335 Yeah...I'm glad you found those guys. The modifications with resistance bands are game changers for the total gym. You can really load it up. Another tip....have you tried Isometrics? I supplement total gym workouts with a Bullworker Classic.. Also I use the Iron Chest Master for a challenging push up workout. I'm 58, and fighting to stay fit. Good luck to you!

Yes, this is the Total Gym GTS, which is a commercial-grade model.

Toya Foster You don’t need this model. Get the mid range price model the Total Gym Fit. Make sure that you get the one with the 12 levels, not 6 levels.

@@lesleysears9808 correct. I have the fit. Did several hacks, as discovered on Primitive Fitness YT channel. The 12 level Fit is all you need.

@@lesleysears9808 thanks. Your advise it help me too.

He is addressing older people here, so this is probably the best approach for us.

I wouldn't go to true muscle failure for the accumulative fatigue. When you do sets and reps you can leave a couple reps in reserve so you don't tax yourself out and after a short rest go back and do another set. Again just before muscle failure. Doing this 3-4 times will result in more overall training volume. It's effective to go to failure maybe on your last set. But you're missing out on a lot of volume and probably take a while to recover.

Yes, this one is intended for commercial use. There are 22 levels of incline, compared with 12 on the Total Gym Fit.

It's commercial grade. The GTS shown here IS targeted for home users and the Encompass for commercial, however with exception to color they're the same machine. I have the Encompass RS at home which adds a few extra bells/whistles such as a larger squat platform.

You can add a weight bar and add a lot of weight. This machine will support 650 lbs of weight (user weight plus added plates).

@@Zane_Zaminsky yes you're likely going to need the strength accessory package which includes the weight bar and squat handle. These bars in the package will add $600+ to the cost of the GTS/Encompass. Also, roughly 60% of user weight (body weight + added plates) is the max you can do with the GTS/Encompass. So if e.g. you're adding 100-lbs in plates to the GTS you're actually working with 60-lbs in effort.

Do one leg at a time.

@@GloogleGloigle at a max of 62% of your body weight, one-legged squats on a glide board aren't very challenging, you'd still be doing a lot of reps

Thats your resistance body weight

I think these are primarily intended for purchase by and use in exercise studios and gyms, even though they do make them available for purchase by private buyers. I know someone who has the model just under this one. I have an old TG 1100 from 1998, later renamed the TG 11000 and then the TG 14000). Here's a link to a video showing my model here called the TG 14000: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opqlnt1nzta0l2w.html.) It still works great. I haven't used it as much in recent years as I did in my early years of owning it, but when I was working out on it regularly, I packed on quite a bit of muscle. I have recently started to resume using it, and I hope to get back to regular use several times a week. (I'd love to have this model, too! When I when the lottery, this will be one of my purchases!)

I did some research and have found this is the overengineered commercial machine at a cost of around $3800. They are willing to sell it to individuals who will take the bait, but IMO it is an unnecessary additional cost for home use. Since this is their site, they should give more information to their customers on each machine they use (there are several models). I do believe that Total Gym home machines are good products for overall strength and fitness for older people like me.

@@liberty5069 that model in the video is the GTS which is targeted for home users. It's commercial grade. The Encompass is marketed at companies such as gyms, rehab facilities, etc. however with exception to color they're the same machine. I have the Encompass RS at home which adds a few extra bells/whistles such as a larger squat platform. You can do over 200 exercises with the GTS/Encompass so whether you're willing to buy one is based on your needs. I got rid of most of the equipment in my gym and replaced it with this. You can easily find a comparison of Total Gym models on their website totalgym.com/.

Kyle S so they pretty much do the same thing. So not worth it?

@@miguelrobb5719 the GTS and Encompass are the same machines. But an Encompass or GTS is significantly better/different than a standard Total Gym model such as the XLS, FIT, etc. Whether or not it's worth it depends on your training needs.

@@kyles8391 I bought the total gym XL7 from sams club for $279. Seems like this particular model is for the Costcos, sams club and bj wholesale stores. The the amount of attachments you get for the price... I think it’s a nice value. Now I do like how the GTS has up to 22 levels of resistance. I’m confident the GTS is a better build. I mean look at it. It looks like it could survive a tornado attack. I can’t justify the price of it though.

I think that's the top model. I have the Total Gym FIT and mine doesn't do that or adjust to that incline.

All total gyms can adjust the angle of the bench incline.That's one of the best features of the Total gym. You can adjust to your fitness/comfort level.

@@mikenagy9408 but the bench itself? Like he did on the board?

@@samuelmanny6231 The bench, and the board are the same thing.

This is the GTS. most of the features come with the product. but if you are looking for some specifics for Pilates or Strength, a package of accessories are available for both

I have the commercial version of this plus with a couple of upgrades (the Encompass RS) totalgym.com/products/rs-encompass

I'm thinking of getting one of those is it worth it

@@64chevybaby honestly your better off getting an actual gym membership

4k there are cheaper models that work just as good

@@jaleesa00 I had a chance to use the GTS model.... it's far superior to the the Costco model I have. I will be purchasing a GTS model in 6 months... Will be using the 10% off purchase coupon Total Gym offers and will be purchasing it with a 0% travel credit card that will give me enough points to get 2 roundtrip tickets.

pro trick : watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies lately.

@Aiden Matthias Definitely, have been using Flixzone} for years myself =)

@Aiden Matthias definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself :D

Why would you want the glide board level with the floor? Maybe you can just lay flat on the floor,and flail away with your arms and legs. Be a lot cheaper. You can call it ''tantrum fitness''.

@@mikenagy9408 , you're obviously missing the point. The GTS model like the one in the video allows the glideboard to be adjusted horizontal even though the level is set on a steep incline. That helps a lot especially if you're sitting sideways on the glideboard.

It's the Total Gym GTS. Go to totalgym.com/ for details. It's commercial grade. The GTS shown here IS targeted for home users and the Encompass for commercial, however with exception to color they're the same machine. I have the Encompass RS at home which adds a few extra bells/whistles such as a larger squat platform.

Yes.

Yes but there's design flaw with this model. The weight bar goes at the top of the glide board instead of the bottom. Most people need to add additional weight for pull-ups but with the location of the weight bar, the weight plates get in the way and prevent your arms from bending.

U don't need it!

This model looks like a Total Gym GTS ...found on totalgymdirect.com

It's the $4000 model !!!!! How many do you want to buy ?

@@laverdadesmejor , I just saw that. If I was going to be a trainer, I'd buy one for sure.

@@TheHoffy59 I agree. The price of $4k would be warranted for a commercial application. And for the same money, it's a much better device that the Peloton treadmill that only allows you to do one exercise!

Remember the brick phones it reminds me of those 😂

I have an XLS. It is very sturdy. I should have bought one ten years ago to intercept my physical decline.

That not the Total Fit that is the GTS Model, you can not get those bar for the fit only on the GTS Model.

Going out on a limb here,but I think they call the pull up bars, pull up bars. They originally named them Harold,but that just seemed silly.

@@mikenagy9408 Man youre just a douchebag aren't you? You think you are funny but you're not.

Not being snarky, I thought your answer is a hoot and pretty much spot on.

The GTS has been around for years. It's a newer version but it's always been a commercial grade piece of equipment. It's not an updated version of the Fit or XLS, it's on a completely different level.

You mean,just they keep ''up-dating'' new cars? So you need to keep buying the new model,just to keep up. Insidious,bastards.

@@mikenagy9408 no you dont have to keep buying anything if you dont want to

@@4kats No shit! You earned a cookie.

@@mikenagy9408 really no shit. You keep going on saying "you" have to keep buying. Don't buy its simple

Stet Tan Whixh model is this one??

@@Fitforacting GTS

@@Fitforacting $4k

John H thanks John 🙏

This GTS model is a commercial one, commonly found in physical therapy and rehab departments. It's not exactly intended for home use. It takes up a lot of space and weighs a ton.

It is, actually. It's intended for commercial use.

It's commercial grade designed by Total Gym. The GTS is targeted for home users and the Encompass for commercial, however with exception to color they're the same machine. I have the Encompass RS which adds a few extra bells/whistles such as a larger squat platform.

Stop working out for three months,you'll add weight.

@@mikenagy9408 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good luck with that during COVID

allis one; why do you think it is bad? I have a total gym fit and do the same thing on that cheaper model. You avoid compressing your spine this way but can work your shoulders.

Andrew Bell I'm tired of going to planet fitness and waiting for machines. Especially when. It's crowded by the new years resolutions folks. Do you recommend the machine that you are using?

Miguel Robb I’m happy with my total gym and right now QVC had it on sale today for half what I paid for it. But all total gym so basically really similar. I think you can accomplish a lot with even the cheaper models.

Andrew Bell that settles it then. I have been dead set . more. I'm not knocking a gym but i would rather work out at my own pace without having guys standing behind me to use the machines. Anyways what model do you reccomend me getting? I'm not looking to save a few bucks, and I don't mind getting something new. I want the best machine they have

@@miguelrobb5719 The "best machine they have" is going to be a commercial model like the one in this video and cost several thousand dollars. The best home machine they have right now is the FIT, and was on sale this weekend for a little over $700. Don't pay much more than that for it. totagymdirect.com lists it on their website for about $1500 retail, but you can find it new for $700-$800 and used for less than that.I have the XLS, which was the predecessor to the FIT and I'm very happy with it. I got it on Amazon new several years ago for just over $700. You can find it on craigslist now for $200 or less.
