ok for low intensity
 
Review Date: December 27, 2005
Reviewer: thecrwth, Mass
I think if you don't use this with Rambo-like intensity, it will work for. The pictures do not match the text in the pamphlet that comes with. The text says to hold it one, but the picture shows something in few places. Video is a little more instructive, but I have yet to find the "65 exercises" this thing can do.

Great machine
 
Review Date: June 12, 2010
Reviewer: Rick Moriarty, Syracuse, NY USA
Love this machine. Was delivered in one large box. It comes mostly assembled, but it's in enough pieces that you can carry them anywhere in your house for final assembly. All the cabling and pulleys are already on the machine. There really are only nine bolts to install. But I took my time with it -- about an hour and a half. If I had help, I could have done it in under an hour.

I have a weight bench with free weights, but I purchased this machine so my wife and children could lift without the dangers posed by free weights. They can lift with this machine without me there to spot them.

Comes with 160 lbs of metal weights, which is plenty for me, my wife and our children. No, you can't add any more weights to the set.

It works great and is very compact. Fits nicely in my basement, which does not have a very high ceiling. To change the weights, you just pull a metal pin out of one slot and stick it in another. Takes about a second. The weights and the levers move very smoothly, just like the machines they have at the gym. In fact, this is very close to gym quality (probably because Body Solid makes some commercial equipment, I believe).

I have not completely abandoned my weight bench, but you just cannot beat the convenience of this home gym. Changing from one exercise to another is a breeze, so I'm able to get my workouts done a lot faster.

I did not buy the optional leg press because, from the pictures, its looks like you can't use the curl bar while the leg press is attached, and it would be kind of inconvenient to have to put the leg press on and off every time I use the machine. If anybody has the leg press, I'd love to hear how it's worked out for them.
Great home gym!
 
Review Date: April 3, 2010
Reviewer: Jeffrey A. Unterbrink, Cottage Hills, IL
This gym replaced a bench, olympic weights, bars, squat rack, and leg press machine. It does the job better than all the others I have had. Very well made, almost a gym quality piece of equipment. I bought the leg press attachment and it really makes this a complete body workout now. I have young kids and did not want my old weights falling off the bars onto them, so this solved that problem, along with freeing up lots of space and cutting my workout time quite a bit. So far I'm really happy with this purchase.
Great Product!
 
Review Date: January 16, 2010
Reviewer: David, Arizona
This body solid gym arrived nicely packaged with no missing parts. It was easy and quick to put together; mostly pre-assembled. You need socket wrench set, one area is a tight fit for other types of wrenches. Every part seems to be high quality. Quickly changes from one exercise to the next. Smooth operation. I am very pleased.
Surprisingly versatile and easy to assemble
 
Review Date: November 5, 2009
Reviewer: Lifelong Learner, Mayland
I purchased this product mostly because of the easy assembly promise, and was not disappointed. I am not particularly handy, and was able to assemble the unit, by myself, in less than an hour. I have not owned a home gym before, but am absolutely pleased with how sturdy it seems to be, and the variety of exercises you can perform on it. It strikes me as perfectly appropriate for all but the most hardcore exercise nuts!

Product Description

The Weider Max strength-training system packs more muscle-sculpting power per square inch than any other weight system on the market. Boasting up to 240 pounds of quick-change resistance to harness the power of Weider's revolutionary resistance bar technology, the Max employs a unique system of cables, cams, pulleys, and swivels to address all of your upper and lower body muscle groups. This system, called the Compound Resistance System (CRS), serves to compound the resistance of each bar, allowing the workout cable to travel 2 feet for every 1 foot of resistance bar travel. The benefit of CRS is that it allows you to complete each exercise, with a complete range of motion for better results and a wider workout variety. Further, each bar provides smooth, consistent resistance throughout the exercise.

The quick-change resistance system, meanwhile, quickly moves from 5 to 240 pounds of resistance (can be upgraded to 340 pounds), making weight training quick and easy. Thanks to the system, you no longer need to unscrew a bunch of pins or deal with bulky plates between exercises. The quick-change system also makes circuit training easier than ever, because you can move rapidly from one exercise to the next. Best of all, the Max comes with everything you need for a killer total body workout, including a lat tower, a leg developer, and a preacher pad station. You'll enjoy more than 65 club-quality exercises geared to give you a fat-burning, muscle-building upper and lower body workout. It's the perfect blend of high-intensity strength training, fast-paced circuit training, and killer cardio.

Other features include a removable seat, a pair of short and long workout handles, ankle and hand straps, and an exercise DVD. Max home gyms feature a lifetime warranty on each resistance bar. All other components carry a five-year limited warranty that covers defects, materials, and workmanship.

Product Details

  • Home strength-training system with up to 240 pounds of quick-change resistance
  • Employs unique system of cables, cams, pulleys and swivels to work upper and lower body
  • High pulley provides up to 15-plus exercises, while low pulley delivers 40-plus exercises

Product Description

Want to tone your entire body without buying a space-hogging fitness machine? Turn to the Total Gym 3000 exercise platform, a mid-range workout device that helps you strengthen and sculpt every major muscle group in your body using a single glide board and a few handy attachments. The Total Gym 3000 works by making you lift a percentage of your body weight against gravity, creating a smooth and fluid resistance. As your strength and conditioning improve, you increase the total resistance by boosting the incline, thus increasing the body weight lifted in the exercise. The Total Gym 3000 not only works your upper body, but also your lower body, abdominals, and even your cardiovascular system. And by reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle mass in your body, the strength training effectively turns up the thermostat so that your body burns calories constantly.



The Total Gym 3000 comes with a wing attachment for toning various back and arm muscles.
The Total Gym 3000 is equipped with an upgraded cable and pulley system, along with such accessories as a standard squat stand for working your quads and calves and a wing attachment for toning various back and arm muscles. Combined, the accessories and glide board support up to 300 pounds, letting users with a variety of body types work on strength and stability. Other features include steel handles, chrome upper rails, and support for more than 60 exercises. The Total Gym 300 comes with three exercise aids: the Start It Up! workout DVD; the 6-8 Minute Workout DVD, which includes 12 work-along workouts for men and women pressed for time; and an at-a-glance wall chart that demonstrates 35 exercises. And when you're done working out, the unit folds up for easy storage. The Total Gym 300 measures 19 by 43 by 90 inches (W x H x D) unfolded and 19 by 9 by 51 inches folded.

About Total Gym
Total Gym made its initial mark in rehabilitation centers, where its main focus was aiding people recovering from physical injuries and obstacles. The device is the perfect rehabilitation tool for several reasons: the smooth, gliding motion is easy on the joints; the various height levels accommodate every fitness level; and the padded glide board provides excellent support for the back. After years of success in the rehabilitation field, the product's inventors introduced the product to Chuck Norris 30 years ago. Norris--who calls it his "lean, mean exercise machine"--still uses the Total Gym today as his primary home fitness device. Christie Brinkley has also been a devoted user for more than 10 years, and uses it to stay lean and fit even through two children and a hectic schedule.
