Salient Features of Total Gym Fit Signature Series

85 Workouts – Learn with DVDs

You can perform more than 85 exercises using the glide board and accessories. You will love the way it comes with series of DVDs to get the most out of your home gym. Total Gym Fit Signature Series home gym comes with seven workout DVDs to explain the 85 different workouts. The seven DVDs include Start it up, Ab Crunch, 6 to 8-minute workout, beginner, beginner express, intermediate, and advanced programs. 

Start it up recommends your first workout guiding you through the usage of the Total Gym Fit Signature Series. The beginner DVD is an excellent way to begin building energy, stamina, and strength. Similarly, intermediate DVD guides strength training to build muscles and burn fat. The advanced DVD consists of a five-day program for the lower body, and upper body advanced strength training.

Talking about the Ab Crunch workout, the DVD provides an impressive video guide to improve posture and tone abdominals using the ab crunch accessory. There is another DVD for the users hard-pressed for time. There are 12 gym routines of 6 to 8 minutes each on the DVD. Of course, there is a beginner express DVD for short training sessions. The DVD is perfect for users with limited time to ease into a routine.

Initially, it may feel tricky to get used to it, but they will become your second nature once you perform some of these workouts. We recommend using the DVDs to learn how the pulley system works for each muscle group. Once you get the hang of it, you will follow the lead and remain motivated. You will slowly and steadily learn to use how bodyweight combinations work for you.

Nutritional Program and Wall Charts

Total Gym Fit Signature Series home gym equipment comes with the “Nutritional Program & Meal Plan” by Dan Isaacson. Dan is a famous Hollywood personal trainer. By the way, he helped create the Total Gym collection, if you are not aware.

Total Gym Fit Signature Series also features an illustrated wall chart. You get instructions for about 35 workouts that you can do with this model. However, if you do not like the idea of plastering the workout instructions on the wall, you may prefer using the training deck of cards. It provides workout instruction on different cards, and you can put the deck inside the machine while performing workouts.

Glideboard and Pulley System

Although all Total Gym models look similar, on a closer look, you will find that they are quite a bit different from one another. Each model comes with a glide board, pulleys, and workout accessories. You may adjust the glide board angle to finetune the resistance levels. You may reduce the gravity effect or work against a higher percentage of body weight and choose from 12 different settings for custom strength training.

Accessories

Besides a stylish Glide Board and pulley system, the Total Gym Fit Signature Series has far more useful exercise accessories. They include a squat stand, leg pull attachments, two-piece wing attachments, and Ab Crunch accessories.

The squat stand has an upgraded look than cheaper models. This height-adjustable fitness accessory can help you trim and tone your legs. You can tone your quadriceps and hamstrings with the leg pull accessories. Similarly, the two-piece wing attachment s an upgrade over this standard addition of cheaper models. You can work up your core and arms with this two-piece accessory. Finally, ab crunch is helpful to perform advanced ab crunches to improve your posture, strengthen your core body, and lengthen your obliques. If you get bored with these attachments, you can also buy other accessories on sale, like a pilates set.

Sturdy Piece of Equipment

Even at 66 pounds, this lightweight machine is sturdy and easy to move. You can quickly fold it for storage. While it is unfolded, its dimension is 18.5 x 93 x 44.5 inches (L x W x H). However, the folded machine has a dimension of only 18.5 x 50.5 x 8.5 inches. It is the best home gym equipment for about $1500 for an average shopper. The folding feature is a big draw for users keen to save space because it involves no moving around of heavyweights to put the machine away for storage.

Full-Body Workouts

The mid-pulley station tones the core body and offers chest strength training, while another part works your biceps and enables arm curls. It has more sections for leg development, pulls, and presses, and of course, the challenging squats to fire your glutes. You can also include cardio work with more attachments to work with different muscle groups. The optional accessories include a pilates kit, cyclo trainer, roller, dip bar, and a press-up bar.

Warranty & Guarantee

Total Gym Fit Signature Series provides a lifetime warranty for factory direct deals and a two-year warranty on the parts. You can also get a $1 trial for this cross-training home gym.
