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 fitness level, and regardless of whether your primary goal
is body sculpting, weight control, 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 com-
position. By reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean mus-
cle in our bodies, strength training can effectively turn up our metabolic
thermostat, so that we burn up to 30% more calories all the time, no mat-
ter what we’re doing.
It’s easy—all you have to do is spend 10 to 15 minutes a day on your
Total Gym
®
to start realizing the benefits.
Be sure to read through this owner’s manual carefully.
It is the authoritative source of information about your Total Gym
®
.

Lay shipping box flat and open carton top.
Remove corner tape from the carton bottom (as indicated by
the X’s). Remove all packaging materials, including cardboard
inserts, from your Total Gym
®
. Remove the squat stand
(optional) from under the gym (as shown to the right) and
install on opposite end into receptacles.
Lift gym up from opposite end of squat
stand. Make sure that it rests solidly
on the squat stand. Remove the two
accessories from under the bench.
Extend Total Gym
®
out in the following manner:
(4a) Place one hand on the edge of the frame. With your
other hand, take hold of the support column and begin to
pull it out until the frame is lying flat on the floor.
Be sure to support the frame in the center to avoid
having the product drop suddenly onto the floor.
(4b) The spring-loaded pin on the right rail will automatically
engage during set-up. This pin prevents the support
column from collapsing when the height adjustment pin
is locked into the bottom storage hole.
