TOTAL GYM® 1600 OWNER’S MANUAL

®

Congratulations on purchasing your new Total Gym

With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start your own workout program, to tone and strengthen the important
muscle groups of your upper and lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age, sex, or tness level, and regardless of whether
your primary goal is body sculpting, weight loss, health maintenance, or more energy for daily activities.

Strength training not only tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand, walk, lift, and turn; it can actually transform our
body composition. By reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in our bodies, strength training can effectively turn
up our metabolic thermostat, so that we burn calories all the time, no matter what we’re doing.

It’s easy - all you have to do is spend 15 to 20 minutes a day, 3 to 4 days per week on your Total Gym® to start realizing the benets.

Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully. It is the authoritative source of information about your Total Gym®.

TOTAL GYM® 1600 OWNER’S MANUAL | SET UP

Set Up

Your product comes with:

• Safety Hitch Pin to be inserted into the bottom of the vertical column after set up.

• Height Adjustment Quick Release Pin located on side of Vertical Column for raising and lowering rails.

• Spring Loaded Pin locked into the base of the Left Rail by the Height Adjustment Tube. Left side is determined by standing behind the

unit facing the Vertical Column.

IMPORTA N T: To prevent injury, be sure the Spring Loaded Pin is locked securely into place in the Left Rail before using unit. This will

prevent the Height Adjustment Column from falling forward.

• Safety Pin located on Lanyard/attached to Height Adjustment Tube.

• 2 Short Hitch Pins for the Dip Bars and Multi Function Attachments and 1 Large Hitch Pin for the Leg Pulley Bracket (located in the

Miscellaneous Section of the Accessory Kit.)

IMPORTA N T: Before using the Multi Function Attachments, Dip Bars and Leg Pulley Accessory, be sure the Hitch Pins are securely

inserted (see pages 7 - 9 of this manual for directions).

1. Pull the product out of the shipping box. Remove all packaging

materials, including tape and cardboard inserts, from your unit.

NOTE: Some parts are packed inside the Rails.

2. Lay product on the oor with glideboard side up. Make sure

you have plenty of space on both ends of the product. Slide the
glideboard as far as it will go towards the Front Crossbar before
you begin lifting unit.

3. Lift the exerciser up by holding it at the top of the rails.

Using your foot, slowly spread the unit open at the bottom
approximately 12 inches so that it rests rmly on the Front and
Back Crossbars not allowing it to go too far.

Lift Here

4. Make sure the handles are out to the sides before you begin to

unfold your unit. Keep hands and ngers away from pulley. Hold
onto the top center of glideboard and begin rolling rear rollers.
Spread the unit out until it is at on the oor. Be careful to do
this slowly.

TOTAL GYM® 1600 OWNER’S MANUAL | ATTACHMENTS: HOW TO’S

Starting Out

GENERAL SAFETY TIPS

• While performing exercises with quick tempo repetitions, the Total Gym® may move. Please be aware of the action and make
necessary adjustments as you continue your exercise program.

• Wear athletic shoes and comfortable light clothing when exercising on the Total Gym®.

• Do not exercise barefoot.

• Check your exerciser before using to ensure that all the parts are in place and working properly (see pages 11 and 12 for details on
Inspection, Maintenance and Storage).

• Adult supervision is required at all times.

• The Rails and Glideboard can be raised to any desired level on the Height Adjustment Column depending upon your degree of tness.
Please note, however, that the Rails cannot be raised to the highest position on the Height Adjustment Column when the Leg Pulley
Bracket is attached to the column.

• Be sure you have plenty of free space around the exerciser so that performing on the Total Gym®, as well as getting on and off, is
convenient and safe.

• Each time you raise or lower the Height Adjustment Column, be sure you hold it to keep it from dropping to the oor.

AS EASY AS 1-2-3

Begin using the product at a low incline. As your tness level progresses, increase the incline to increase the intensity and improve your
muscle strength. Don’t be in a hurry to exercise at a high intensity level; start out easily and build gradually. The Total Gym® is as easy as
1-2-3 to use, so read on...

1. IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN USING THE TOTAL GYM

• Always have control of the glideboard before getting on and off the exerciser.

• Keep your feet on the oor when getting on and off the exerciser. Only remove them from the oor for the duration of the exercise.

• If you are using the handles, hold onto them as you get on and off the glideboard.

• Remove Cable from Glideboard when not using Cable Handles.

2. EXERCISING WITH THE HANDLES ONLY

Grasp the handles which are attached to the cable and slide the glideboard to a position in which you can comfortably sit or lay

down when performing the desired exercise (see the Exercise Guide). Be sure to keep your feet on the oor until you are in the
correct position for the specic exercise. Then, if the exercise calls for your feet to be off the oor, place your feet as specied in the
instructions.

3. EXERCISING WITH THE MULTI FUNCTION ATTACHMENT AND THE DIP BARS

Slide the glideboard to a position in which you can comfortably sit or lay down on when performing the desired exercise (see the

Exercise Guide). Keep your feet on the ground until you are in the correct position and feel comfortable. Then, place your feet in the
proper position and begin to exercise.

®

When starting your exercise program, begin with the basic exercises in the Exercise Guide included with your Total Gym® to familiarize
yourself with the movements. Use the lowest incline level to start with - you can work up to a higher incline level in the weeks and months
to come.

For the specic Total Gym® exercises and programs, study and follow the instructions in the Exercise Guide included with your product.

and frame. If the cable, pulleys, frame or wheels need replaced

- do not use your unit, wait until the part is replaced. If any
other part than the ones listed above needs to be replaced, do
not use that part until it is replaced.
