    You are an INSPIRATION. I've had ellipticals & weights for 30 yrs. Sadly I discovered the TG after I sunk a bunch of $ into something I really never liked. I have finally found a home for the E & W & ordered my TOTAL GYM. I've had a nerve issue in 1 leg since my back surgery & can no longer use the elliptical. I am LOOKING FORWARD to getting my TOTAL GYM XLS. I'm into my 70's & am looking forward to losing the 40 lbs I need to, to feel BETTER. THANK YOU & KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU are doing for YOU! God Bless.

    Great video! I was looking for a video about a big guy like me, that got results. I'm starting out at 363 lbs, so I wanted to see if it was possible. Working on purchasing a Total Gym Fit. Stay strong my brother.

    • @hildahighlander2586
      @hildahighlander2586 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Kelly and Max. I just bought a used Total Gym and gotba great deal. So check out Craig's List or Offer Up if they're too expensive. You can find some great deals. Im just starting out with Total Gym. It's not even set up yet, but it will be this weekend, and I'm very pumped to get started.
      I just want to encourage you guys..
      Im 63, have had alot of physical injuries, and dlowly lost about 100lbs. I'm 5'5" and started out about 287 lbs. When I look back at old pictures of me, I cant believe its me. I was slender most of my life. I am currently about a size 12-14 in jeans and everything. I have about 50lbs . Id like to be close to my previous weight and adjust when I get there
      So, it can be done guys! Derek set a great example. Just being determined, setting a goal, and just starting is the hard part. I have faith in you guys too! You've got this! PS. Kelly, I'm from Iowa too! Love Iowa...great people! Take care guys!

    @JP-kv5kj 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have used Total Gym for twenty years. It is by far the best piece of equipment you can buy. We took a cruise a couple years ago and I went in the gym every day where they had maybe eight machines each with a adjustable weight stack and different movements for each. There was not one exercise on those bulky machines that I can’t do on my XLS. Love my total gym too. Still in great shape at 68

    for those getting the total gym. different models have different weight limits due to different metals for durability. you don't want to get one that cannot support your weight if obese. mine has a weight limit of 3xx lbs.

    I got this because of pandemic. I’m never going back to a gym. It strengthens you and with proper diet you can get ripped. I’m 60 years old- if you saw what I look like because of the total gym you would be amazed. I put it in my bedroom this way I see it everyday and hop on it. Switching from one exercise to another is easy, and for a good cardio no rest in between sets. Do it!!!!!!

    @hildahighlander2586 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Congratulations Derek! I'm very happy for your success! Congratulations your story inspires me, as well! I am a youthful 63 year old who ended up with alot of serious injuries. There was a time in my life when I could barely walk because my injuries were so severe. Ive lost about 100lbs, but have about 50 more to go to get to where I was before. But, I am even now just an average size woman, so Ive come a long ways too.
    I had been wanting aTotal Gym for a long time and just bought a used one yesterday. I cant wait to get started. I have always loved being physically active my whole life.
    Thanks Derek for sharing your story. and your favorites on the Total Gym. I would love to hear more of your story and more of what you did to achieve such great results. I have a thousand questions for you! Lol! I hope to establish a routine and work out 4-5 days a week for about an hour a day also. Im wondering how long did it take you to see results from the Total Gym regarding weightloss and body toning?

  • @estilolibre21
    @estilolibre21 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You look great! Thank you for sharing this. Im thinking about ordering this one, not for weight loss but to get toned up and back into shape. I had a bad injury years ago that prevents me from certain exercises. I have been looking into one of these.

    @macinnisgerald 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    It’s time to kick the dust off mine . Like you , I’m 6’1” , I topped at about 340 lbs, I’m at about 190 right now , to lose another 100 would be ideal .. if you or anyone have any tricks to stay on the motivation train , I’m all ears .. that’s my biggest hurdle
    Thanks for the inspiration !

    Thanks for the video! I just bought a used TotalGym XLS for $ 250 from an elderly lady that barely used it (had all the attachments still in the box too!). My goal is to lose 40 pounds and your video is an inspiration for me. I have done 3 workouts so far and it kicks my butt so I hope to build my endurance up over time.

  • @free2bme821

    Did you make any food changes or incorporate intermittent fasting or anything on your journey?
    Great video

    I did buy used Total Gym 1000 today. Cost 25€ :) haha. I am 52 years old, about 83kg & 182cm. I have been always very thin but the last 1-1.5 years have to get my stomach too big. I had a good going 2018 summer but then here was weather so heat that I did melt nights and had no power to go to the gym. Then I start construction work in September and taking 25k steps, running (almost) with 2x 25kg packets of dynamite with me up the hill a couple of times in a day just cut the need for the gym so I was fit. Then I did break my finger and get 6 weeks of sick leave and had only the rest of 2019 only 3 weeks of work and then I get divorced... And 2020 you all know what it means to gym goings... So I get 6kg pure fat these 1.5 years. I did get some things but nah. I almost think to buy Crosstrainer but those don't fit on my car and are so heavy to move so I get now Total Gym 1000 and hope that I start to get fit again :)

      @hectorlozada8056 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know I'm 2 weeks late but. There are different cheaper brands, same product. 1000$ Vs. 200$...And the quality is barely comparable other than design. Depending on brand or your size it should support 250 pounds.
