Be careful when getting on and off!
My only concern with the product is getting on, in position and then getting off when doing certain exercises. Once I get on and in position the work out if great. I am 81 years old and almost 6' 2" tall, I am starting off my exercise routine with the ramp raised only 2 or 3 positions from the bottom and this may have some effect on getting into position. It is hard to hold the handles of the pulleys with the backboard in position and then get on it and lay down and then get back up when done. Also, I cannot lay down with my head resting at the top and have the heel of my feet on the bottom of the board. I make do with holding my head up without support just off the board. Maybe it will get easier as I advance in raising the board to a higher level or it may be worse. We'll have to see. One other thing is that the backboard could be a few inches wider. Otherwise, I find the machine very comfortable and easy to use and get a nice workout from using it. I use it to work out three days a week for about an hour each time. Thank you!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Easy and Fun
Really is a great way to stay in shape, wish the bench part where you lay down was longer, kinda hard to use if you are over 5'8", your hair can get caught in the pulley under the bench while usingVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Even better than I had hoped it would be
Everything I hoped for and more. The quality is great. It folds up to a small space. But what's really great is that I can get a good workout with over 80 exercises without leaving my home. My workout on my schedule on my terms. The exercise card deck that accompanies the Total Gym is excellent. I'm super happy and glad to be able to get back into shape during the coronavirus pandemic. I love this product and would highly recommend it to anyone.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great workout at your own convenience.
So many variations to get into shape. This is amazing quality that will stand up to anyone’s size. I love that it comes with a CD but there are tons of YouTube videos to fill in. Just a few minutes a day is all it takes. I would recommend the wheel set to make it easier to move to another location with less effort, as it is heavy. Work out at home means no more sharing other’s sweaty bacteria...YUCK!!! Great value!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Complete Bodyweight Machine
I've been using Bayou Fitness Total Trainers for years, but they're out of business. They were the only alternative with comparable build quality to Total Gym, and offered higher resistance. The Total Gym lost a star because the main cable should be at least a foot longer to use the maximum incline, and the base width should be at least 2" wider for better stability. That aside, the Apex G5 delivers an excellent workout. The pulley system is smooth and the glide board has sufficient padding that is impressively non-slip. The attachment placement is exactly right and solid. An option to add a 1" bar and weights on the glide board provides additional resistance, though it becomes more difficult to use with the short pulley cable. The Apex G5 is an excellent value compared to Total Gym's higher-end models, and a much better alternative to the "bargain" knockoff units out there.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Fun and easy to do!
Wish I had purchased this long ago. Doesn't seem like you're working that hard but can already see the difference in the two weeks I've had it. There are so many different exercises to do that you get a full body workout very quickly without feeling like you're doing the same boring ones every day. The results are so fast that its encouraging and easy to stick with.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Total Gym, Great Machine
As a older guy (66), and more interested in strength and tone than building mass, the Total Gym fits the bill. I am also liking how easy it is to change from one exercise to another. Also, at 6’3” I was worried about the Total Gym not being long enough, that is the reason I got the RG5APEX. It is 93” long versus 90”. So far I haven’t has any problems with it being too short.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great device.
It works, it has good instructions, it makes working out easier and more efficient. Though you're not pushing one rep max, you are straining and challenging a wide array of body parts. Legs are hard but core and upper body are killer.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great for Toning Muscles at Any Age
Finally got to unpack and start to use this. what an awesome machine! Easy to use and setup and get going. So much information is provided on exercise it was hard to know where to start, but the included Get Stared DVD was very helpful. I have used this three times now and my arms, shoulders and back are getting the workout I wanted. Feeling it in my core and legs also but I think there might be better exercises for my legs than the start up exercises. I'm almost 70 and wanted to keep my muscles tones and strong since I have a small farm and there are always heavy feed bags and hay bales to move. Plus you loose muscle tone as you age so if you don't keep the muscles toned they go weak. Not for me!! My partner will also be using this to strength his arms and legs after having heart surgery.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
