You’ve seen the Total Gym XLS on TV, the infomercials pretty much tell you what there is about this home gym. Maybe you don’t expect this from a product to be that good, maybe just another rip off that gets too much air time. But, it is really good fitness equipment and one that for the price and exercises you get, it is a great choice.
The standard model is good as it is, it comes with an exercise chart that has the 80 exercises you can do with the XLs explained, plus four DVD’s for added motivation, expanded Pilates Kit, and you can add a Video display, extra padding for more comfort, all with a 400 pounds user weight.

The best from Total Gym
The Total Gym XLS uses from 6% to 60% of your body weight as resistance for your exercises. You have more than 80 exercises that can be done with this simple and yet effective glider. These exercises are explained to you in the DVD’s and also you have them in workout plans that are in cards that you can choose depending on your workout goals.
Total Gym also has another model that looks very much like the XLS, which is the Total Gym 3000. At first they both do not have many differences, maybe the XLS is larger and it has a stronger construction, like an upgraded version of the 3000. And this just may not be enough for you to pay the difference.
So, what really makes it worth to pay more for the XLS? The extras. The Total Gym XLS has more extra features than the 3000 model, and these make a difference. For instance, the XLS has the training deck, a pilates kit, the upgraded squat stand, and other options.
In the end there isn’t much distance between the two models, but if you can afford to buy the XLS, then this model is the best choice between the two. If you can’t afford the XLs, then even if you buy the 3000, you won’t regret it; it still is a good choice for a home gym and none that will fill your needs for fitness exercise.
Total Gym XLS at a Glance…
Pros:
- Strong and sturdy construction
- 4 instructional DVD’s
- Great pack of features
Cons:
- None
The Total Gym XLS is the best among the glider models from Total Gym. It is a good choice for anyone that wants to lose weight or improve their fitness level. It is smooth and quiet and it is relatively easy to store away after you use it. Even if it looks simple, you will see that there is a lot more for this home gym that what just meets the eye.
