Amazon.com Product Description
Want to tone your entire body without buying a complete home gym? Check out the Total Gym 1700 Club, which 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 1700 Club works by making you lift a percentage of your body weight against gravity, making the resistance smooth and fluid. As your strength and conditioning improves, you increase the total resistance by boosting the incline, thus increasing the body weight lifted in the exercise. The Total Gym 1700 Club thus 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 1700 Club also offers several handy attachments that add a new dimension to your workout: a Pilates bar that helps you improve your range of motion and balance; a weight bar that lets you add up to 75 pounds of additional free weights to intensify your workouts (weights sold separately); dip bars and press-up bars; and an exercise mat to help protect your floor. All it takes to get in great shape is 15 to 20 minutes per day, three to four times a week. Key Features: - Pilates Bar to add a new dimension to your workout by helping you improve your range of motion and balance
- Dip Bars and Press Up Bars add exercise versatility
- Exercise mat protects your floor
- A larger glideboard for workout comfort
- Wider tower for added stability
- Auto-lock height adjustment
- Exercise flip chart for easy reference while exercising

 totally alright December 4, 2008
Been using the total gym for a few weeks. It arrived with smashed roller wheels, but it only took a week to receive replacements.
The TG works ok, but to follow the exercise routines you have to hook and unhook the pulley from the board. This is VERY DIFFICULT to do and discourages following the routine. Also the board roll is bumpy not smooth as you would expect.
On the plus side, the exercises improve flexibility and work well for men and women. So it's better than nothing, but at a high price.

I bought this because I live in Minnesota and the winters are horrible. I have skipped on so many workouts because of the cold. I had to get three things this year in order to keep my workout going...One was a Treadmill. Two was a exercise body ball. Now the last thing, this piece of equipment..The total Gym!
I was nervous about purchasing this product because of so many failed home gyms in the past. Would I use it? Is it hard to set up? Is it durable? All those questions ran through my head.
Before I continue, I am a Male, 25 years old, 6ft 3, 215lbs, and average strength. Keep that in mind as you read.
I am getting a great upper-body workout from this machine. I have noticed my back, arms, and chest all have significant gains with the help of this machine.
I am committed to getting healthy this year. If you are, keep in mind, this product will not be the only thing you need to use. I have a treadmill so I can do some cardio, but running on the street/track is more preferred. I have the exercise ball to get some pushups/situps going. I also have WiiFit to add some fun into the routine. I also Ski in the winter and Bike in the summer.
What I mean from that above paragraph is that this product will not change you overnight. It does work and if you combine using this with healthy eating, cardio, and some leg workouts somewhere else, (This machine does come with some leg workouts, but they are not enough for me), then you will see some gains.
This does take up some space...Think roughly 10 feet. Super thin though. This is also pretty heavy to move. I have a room where I just keep it set -up. You can move it if you want to, but I like to keep it out so I remind myself to use it.
Your hands smell like rubber from the padding after you are done. I suggest using some workout gloves.
I had one minor part break during shipping. I will call the supplier and get a new part. It was a plastic knob that goes over the locking mechanism. I can still use the machine without this part, but it's annoying trying to adjust the height without this knob.
This machine is definitely worth the price. I am very satisfied. I have noticed some gains, but I also do a variety of exercises with the above mentioned items.
I guarantee you will not find what you are looking for if this is the only thing you work with. You need to combine some cardio and some leg work along with healthy eating. However, this mean is a lot more user-friendly than free weights and waiting in gym lines...Or in my case, not wanting to go outside to my car.
Total Gym Review September 7, 2008
This has been a great resistance training product for me. Setup was relatively easy although the product is not quite as portable as I thought it would be; it does take up quite a bit of space and is heavy to move so you are best off to set it up someplace that you don't have to move it. The exercises are easy to learn and fun to do. The gliding motion is smooth and transition between exercises is quick and easy. It has been very effective for me so far. The one complaint I do have is that the bench apparatus is heavy and difficult to move the incline up and down between exercises; if you have a bad lower back like I do you have to be very careful.

I found removing the pulley from the glide board almost impossible. The ring on the bottom of the glide board is almost too small to hook and unhook. They make this look easy and indeed it was in the 1500 model. Some fix should be offered for this. Otherwise it's a great little machine
