It’s videos like this that are totally inspirational. I really am going to unpack mine now and hit it up! Thank you for the video and the message. Keep it up.
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.
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!
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
YOU LOOK AMAZING DEREK!! YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOURSELF, WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! YOU ATE AN INSPIRATION FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, LIKE ME!! 🙂🙂🙂😇😇😇
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!!!!!!
Well done. I like your lead for today’s resistance training. Keep up the good work. Consistency is key.... that’s what I am working on. Thanks you for the video sharing.
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?
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.
Hi Derek my name is Ingrid I am over weight and I purchased a total gym xls but really haven’t been using it like I should but I want to change that and start using it. Everyday. I wanted to ask you about your exercise routine and where can I find total gym addicts. Have a great day God bless.
I'm in the 300's too and I been wondering about the total gym id like to know what other stuff u do like your eating habits also because that's my biggest problem
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.
My Total Gym was ordered 2 days ago. I can't wait to start my journey of being healthy and losing 60 lbs. 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 :)
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.
You still stand and move your legs like you have a lot of weight on them. Old habits. You can tell you worked your arse off. Enjoy the hard work and kick your feet up!
Derek would you post your routine for us newbies, you got it going on and it would be a big help.
Great job keep it up, Chuck would be proud !
SIXTEEN, 16, ONE SIX pant sizes....
That is OUTSTANDING!!! 👍
It’s videos like this that are totally inspirational. I really am going to unpack mine now and hit it up! Thank you for the video and the message. Keep it up.
Congratulations! Keep up the great work. I'm very happy for you. I'm looking to start on the Total Gym, and you've motivated me. Thank you!

,great job
Thank you! I’m about to purchase one but my main concern if it breaks..
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.
It's been a year, do you still like and use it? Thanks!
I have one and used it for 2 weeks 3x week. I felt a huge difference, but lack motivation. 😬
No matter how you feel,do it any way.Till becomes a habit.
Great job keep it up you look great
Great video! Congrats on the good work.
Great!
Show us your routine!
Are there any videos of Derek actually using the TG when he was over 350 pounds?
Great 👍👍🙏💕
I do wish though, that all the Total Gym machines, could elevate the glideboard.
Awesome job!
What was your diet.
Congrats on your amazing weight loss! The Total Gym is an awesome exercise machine. Thanks for sharing your story Derek.
You still stand and move your legs like you have a lot of weight on them. Old habits. You can tell you worked your arse off. Enjoy the hard work and kick your feet up!
