I recently acquired a Total Trainer DLX-2 and am very pleased with it. I have lifted free weights since middle school and had only once seen a system like this (a Total Gym in Sears) which I briefly experimented with. I quickly realized that I could get a good workout from such a system.
In my routine I typically hit my quads, hamstrings, calves, biceps, triceps, shoulders, forearms, chest, middle/lower/upper back and abs. There are multiple exercises to choose from for working each muscle group. Changing levels is easy to do. Moving the pulleys from one spot to another is easy as is attaching the pulley with the ankle strap on it. In fact, there is nothing even remotely complicated about it.
Setup is a snap. It’s odd at first but after a couple of times opening and folding it back up are simple. I was skeptical that when folded it would take up so little space but it does. My wife is completely happy with how it disappears when I’m through with it.
In summary, I love my Total Trainer!!!

I don’t have time to go to the gym due to my crazy work schedule & usually workout to exercise DVDs at home, but I wanted to change up my workout routine a bit. My apartment is small, so I don’t have the room for a large piece of equipment, such as a Bowflex and the Home Gym was out of my budget range. I happened to come across an advertisement for the Total Trainer and realized it fit all of my needs: affordable, easy to use, versitle to do a variety of exercises upon, arrives fully assembled, and best of all…I can fold it up, roll it away & store it in my closet. Perfect!!

I purchase the DLX-2 from Amazon. It arrived even quicker than stated. It was delivered by FedEx and luckily for me the Total Trainer comes in a double box. There was a hole in the side of the box about the size of a fist that went thru both boxes… Luckily nothing fragile was near that area. The Total Trainer is 99 percent set up and ready to go. I intend to use it strictly for upper body and won’t be using any of the leg attachments. The cables are actually ropes and I think that they are better than any hard stiff cables. The platform slides well on the rails and pretty quiet also. There is a slight clicking noise in only some of the exercises where the rollers roll over the split in the rails. I’m not too crazy about the handles. I think they look and feel cheap. The overall quality looks fair to good on this model. I noticed some sharp edges on some of the holes. Welds appear so/so. Also, I would like the base to be a little wider for more stability. I have had a couple of Total Gyms in the past (intermediate priced models) and they had a better finished quality than this model. But as I remember, they cost more also. So I guess the bottom line is … It appears to be what I would expect for $450. It is also my understanding that the Total Trainer organization is very helpful and stand behind their products.
