Rehab

“Total Gym is the best… Excellent tool for rehabilitation and reconditioning…I’ve only just begun to explore its potential… This one’s a keeper!” Jack F., Hawaii

“I am a professional sports photographer and [I] ran to avoid a collision on the sidelines of a football field during a game I was shooting. I had reconstructive surgery on my knee in the morning and returned home that afternoon, then began rehabbing my knee on the Total Gym. A week later, my doctor asked how many days I used crutches… [I] answered not at all, and mentioned that I ran four days after surgery. The doctor was amazed at my rate of recovery… Total Gym does what it is advertised to do and in my opinion [it] is the BEST. ” Bob G.

“I wish to thank you for the most incredible exercise machine I have ever worked out on. I have had major back surgery in the L-4, L-5 area of my spine and have had nothing but pain and stiffness ever since 1982… After rehab, I purchased the Total Gym. I've now worked out on it for three weeks and have gained most of my flexibility back. I don't have near the pain that I had and my range of motion is almost as good as before the surgery. Believe me, there is no way now that I would give up my Total Gym for anybody. I work out everyday on this machine and love every moment of it. It is almost addicting. Thank you very much for developing this machine. It is allowing me to do things again that I thought I would never do again and the pain level is to the point that I have stopped most of my drugs.” Larry R., Clinton, IL

“...I have already lost the 25 pounds I gained while sitting inactive waiting for the doctor to release me to physical therapy. My strength level is back up and I am once again down to 14% body fat. As a matter of fact, my strength is above what it was before the accident. The doctor saw me this past Wednesday and said I had definitely fully recovered. I can't thank you enough. Every time someone asks how I recovered so fast, I tell them to get a Total Gym and use it daily, and you will see how. “ Dava L., Twentynine Palms, CA

“I had 90% of my body burned in a fire. During my rehab, I was introduced to the Total Gym. I asked about this machine and was told that any good rehab unit uses them. I asked if it was recommended for someone like me to have one at home...of course, they told me. So, I bought one. With my burns I need to stretch all the time and it does this better than I have found elsewhere.

”Let me tell you, anyone can use it. Once you get your workout down, you'll just fly through with ease and have fun also since it doesn't seem to put the stress on your body that I found other workouts do.

”…since two years ago, I can now walk, run, climb, kayak, box, bike...and work again. I highly recommend this product to all burn victims. Thanks again!”

“I am 40 years old and a member of a Police Swat Team. I had been using my Total Gym as a way to stay in shape. Three months ago, I underwent knee surgery (ACL reconstruction). One month ago I began using my Total Gym as part of my rehab. It is important that I get full strength back in my knee as soon as possible. The progress that I achieved by using the Total Gym was amazing. It increased my knee flexibility, strength and endurance beyond my therapist's expectations. As a result of my progress from the Total Gym, I was able to stop my formal therapy and complete my exercises at home. This is an excellent piece of equipment. I have found that I get a better and more satisfying workout in the privacy of my home than I could ever hope for in a weight gym.” Doug G., MO

“...I'm a volunteer firefighter/EMT…, so staying in shape is a matter of life or death not only for me, but also for the people I try to protect. On New Year's Eve… I was at the scene of a minor auto accident on the highway when a passing motorist lost control of his Jeep and smashed into my emergency vehicle. I was supposed to be helping the victims of the first accident and now, I was being rushed to the hospital with muscle injuries and a broken bone in my lower back. At first, I couldn't even stand up. But after months of rehab, I was finally able to move like a normal person again and was cleared to return to duty. Unfortunately, I had lost a lot of muscle tone and gained 30 pounds along with 4 inches on my waistline. My doctor said that my back was strong enough for duty, but I knew that the rest of my body wasn't. So, I began to use my Total Gym with renewed vigor. Sure enough, just a few months later, I had shed almost all of the excess weight, gotten back down to a 32 waist and was once again lifting and carrying heavy loads with ease. And the best thing was that, with the Total Gym it was easy to make sure that I was exercising the targeted muscles without risking another injury to my lower back. I'm happy to say that I am once again on duty several days a week ... I'm very pleased with my Total Gym.” Phillip M., University Park, MD

“…the resistance type of training offered by the Total Gym has been excellent in helping me to stay strong and to continue working the major muscle groups that I need to in order to not only recover from multiple major surgeries, but to also ride again and keep riding. What I especially like is that I can focus on specific muscle groups and not worry that I don't have adequate lower back support. Additionally… it also offers an effective workout in a time-efficient manner. My husband has a chronic circulatory condition but also uses the Total Gym. It's great that we can both have very individualized exercise programs… and have one piece of equipment.

“…What really helped us make the decision to invest in one of your top-of-the-line models is that the Total Gym has been used in rehab clinics for years. This has provided us with some assurance that our money has been well spent and that the product has undergone continued development over a period of time… I look forward to working out on this machine and feel it to be both safe and effective.  Cindy D.

“…the day I ordered it [Total Gym], I was involved in a motor-vehicle accident. Well, while I was in rehabilitation, the physical therapist had an old model of the Total Gym. Mind you, I still hadn't used mine yet because I was in the accident several hours after ordering mine. I used the one she had. I remember thinking to myself that if the one I ordered, the new model, was anything like the old one, I was going to be very happy. After all was said and done, and I have used the one I ordered, I am most pleased with it.” Chad E.

“I'm a C-6 incomplete quadriplegic with the chance at a full recovery, and with the help of my Total Gym, the day I walk again with out any help will come a lot faster. I've I had my Total Gym for a couple of months and already seen a drastic improvement. I'm months ahead of where I should be. Thank you very much for such a wonderful product.” Gerald L.

Fun

“Our instructors were blown away at the GRAVITYTraining™  Session … they love that it’s something they can teach without taxing their bodies…. We took the time to launch the program right. It took some planning, but it’s paying off… It’s a phenomenal program and my personal hope is to launch the GRAVITYSystem® throughout all of our clubs… The best response from our members is that it is fun and not intimidating.”… Kimberly Spreen, Group Fitness Director, Life Time Fitness, Texas

“I would recommend to anyone considering a Pilates program to go with the GTS® rather than a traditional reformer… The GRAVITYSystem® is more cost effective and the program is totally progressive… Pilates workouts are attainable and enjoyable at all ages and fitness levels.  Everyone walks away with a success story”… Colleen Young, Mind, Body & Fitness Coordinator, The Meyer Center, Springfield, Missouri

“It has already made a real impact on our club and members have been lining up for classes since we first test-marketed the program  ... The combination of quick and effective workouts that maximize floor space, expand program variety and increase revenue  is a win-win situation for club owners and members.” Rob Glick, National Program Developer for Crunch, USA and member of efi’s development team for the GRAVITYSystem®, from Crunch, Mission Viejo, California

“Both men and women are thrilled with the GRAVITY group strength and Pilates classes… Attendance has tripled in the last two months! Our members say they love the GTS because it isn’t intimidating and they get a real upper and lower body workout in 30 minutes.”…Colleen Foughner, Fitness Manager, YMCA – Hollywood, California

It's so quick and easy, twenty minutes a day, three times a week. Best investment we've ever made in taking care of our physical well-being.

Physical Therapy

We own three Total Gym Model 2400s (or the equivalent) in our physical therapy clinic/post-rehab fitness center. Both the physical therapists and the personal trainers use them constantly. It's great to have such a variety of exercise options with one machine!  (sent in by clinic owner)

On New Year's Eve… I was at the scene of a minor auto accident on the highway when a passing motorist lost control of his Jeep and smashed into my emergency vehicle. I was supposed to be helping the victims of the first accident and now, I was being rushed to the hospital with muscle injuries and a broken bone in my lower back. At first, I couldn't even stand up. But after months of rehab, I was finally able to move like a normal person again and was cleared to return to duty. Unfortunately, I had lost a lot of muscle tone and gained 30 pounds along with 4 inches on my waistline. My doctor said that my back was strong enough for duty, but I knew that the rest of my body wasn't. So, I began to use my Total Gym with renewed vigor. Sure enough, just a few months later, I had shed almost all of the excess weight, gotten back down to a 32 waist and was once again lifting and carrying heavy loads with ease. And the best thing was that, with the Total Gym it was easy to make sure that I was exercising the targeted muscles without risking another injury to my lower back. I'm happy to say that I am once again on duty several days a week ... I'm very pleased with my Total Gym.” Phillip M., University Park, MD

“I am 40 years old and a member of a Police Swat Team. I had been using my Total Gym as a way to stay in shape. Three months ago, I underwent knee surgery (ACL reconstruction). One month ago I began using my Total Gym as part of my rehab. It is important that I get full strength back in my knee as soon as possible. The progress that I achieved by using the Total Gym was amazing. It increased my knee flexibility, strength and endurance beyond my therapist's expectations. As a result of my progress from the Total Gym, I was able to stop my formal therapy and complete my exercises at home. This is an excellent piece of equipment. I have found that I get a better and more satisfying workout in the privacy of my home than I could ever hope for in a weight gym.” Doug G., MO

“…the resistance type of training offered by the Total Gym has been excellent in helping me to stay strong and to continue working the major muscle groups that I need to in order to not only recover from multiple major surgeries, but to also ride again and keep riding. What I especially like is that I can focus on specific muscle groups and not worry that I don't have adequate lower back support. Additionally… it also offers an effective workout in a time-efficient manner. My husband has a chronic circulatory condition but also uses the Total Gym. It's great that we can both have very individualized exercise programs… and have one piece of equipment.

“…What really helped us make the decision to invest in one of your top-of-the-line models is that the Total Gym has been used in rehab clinics for years. This has provided us with some assurance that our money has been well spent and that the product has undergone continued development over a period of time… I look forward to working out on this machine and feel it to be both safe and effective.”  Cindy D.
