Total Gym® 14000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The total gym is a terrific supplement to weight and cardio training.
It is espesially good if you play sports such as baseball, tennis, racquetball, etc.
This machine really strenghtens and stretches all muscles around the shoulders.
The TG1400 is better made and cheaper than the infomercial total gym although it is still
pretty pricey. In fact this is the model Chuck Norris endorses on his web site.
The price is why I do not give 5 stars. Use it for 10-20 minutes at the start of your day
then go run a mile or two afterward and you will feel the benefits.
It does take up a lot of space and is a pain to put it away.
I leave it set up at all times.

Precor S3.23 Functional Trainer and Bench Combo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this system to help recover after a serious accident left me with decreased strength and range of motion in my arms. It does that and much more.
One thing that sold me on the unit was its size. Be sure to check the room you want to put it in, because it is tall. Other than that, it's compact and stays out of the way. It's easy to move the weights so that more than one person can use them or for different focus.
This is a great system for me. I'm very happy with it.

Designed for home use, the Precor S3.23 Functional Trainer and Bench Combo is great for people of all sizes and fitness levels. A dual stack gym offering a true isolateral workout in a compact footprint, the S3.23 Functional Trainer helps you build total body strength through unlimited exercise options. You'll benefit from building a strong core, and developing improved balance, increased stability and coordination, for improved daily life activities.
Functional Training Many of the activities we do in life are performed across multiple planes of movement. Functional Training embraces that fact and allows strength training to be more applicable to the everyday movements of the human body as well as sports specific training. In addition to building strength, significant improvements in balance and coordination are principle benefits of the unrestricted motion of functional training.
Because the body's core muscles are the foundation for all movement, core stability training is essential to daily living and injury prevention. Functional Training engages more than one muscle, and often more than one joint, teaching them all to work together and work equally. Stabilizers and core muscles are recruited to build true overall strength.
Features:
Compact footprint fits into your home. With its space efficient design and subtle color palette the S3.23 complements your home decor and suits your lifestyle.
Wide range-of-motion for a flexible workout. High-mass/low-travel weight stack increases the cable range-of-motion, allowing you greater flexibility in your workout.
User-friendly adjustments vary your workout. The unique pulley system with one-handed ergonomic handle easily adjusts to over thirty starting positions, allowing unlimited exercises to keep routines fresh.
Dual independent weight stacks engage your muscles. Rather than working on just one or two planes of your body, the dual independent weight stacks allow you to engage more than one muscle and often more than one joint for isolateral resistance training.
Adjustable bench. The bench has six adjustment positions to focus your workouts and easily wheels in and out of the functional trainer.
Fully concealed weight stacks to conceal moving parts.
Integrated top bar allows for back, abdominal workouts and chin-ups.
Adjustable accessory straps: Accessories included are (1) foot/ankle strap, (2) D-ring handgrips, which accommodate all user sizes and a variety of exercises.
Instructional DVD provides you a personal training program for a total body workout and sports specific exercises.
Stack weight: The S3.23 stack has a 1:2 ratio resistance factor, meaning you feel a functional resistance weight of half of the selected weight. The actual single stack weight is 150 pounds (68 kg), which is 75 pounds (34 kg) functional resistance. The actual combined stack weight (2 stacks total) is 300 pounds (136 kg) total, which is 150 pounds (68 kg) functional resistance.
Top plate: Cast aluminum top plate has starting weight of 10 lbs (4.5 kg) with a functional weight of 5 lbs (2 kg).
Construction: Nylon/fiberglass pulleys for added durability; ABEC rated ball bearings for added durability and smooth feel.

Precor 240i Commercial Series StretchTrainer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellant product that offers outstanding lower back releif. Only problem is the price, which tends to be far more than what is should take to manufacture and sell at a profit. Nonetheless, if you have lower back disk and muscle pain, and have found little other relief, this is worth exploring. I used it at my gym for over a year before purchasing.

Precor 9.33 Premium Series Treadmill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I shopped for exercise equipment, the owner of the company where I bought it told me if he could only have one machine, he would choose a elliptical. I bought one and a couple of weeks later went back to get this treadmill. The treadmill gets much more use in my home, although the elliptical is great, and is probably much easier on the legs, knees, and feet. It also seems like it takes more effort than the treadmill and so it gets ignored a lot. For example, I often spend 100 minutes on my treadmill, but only 10-20 minutes on the elliptical.
I use a function that uses my heart rate to determine the incline and speed. Then I can turn my attention elsewhere. Recently I've been using the bicycle videos, Bike-o-Vison, which makes the exercise time just fly by! I've been doing one of the California Coast, which includes Big Sur, a favorite place of mine, so instead of biking through it, I'm on my treadmill. That's a great motivating system for me. I can't wait until tonorrow until I get to tour Washington D.C. (on my treadmill) and after that a tour of the rain forest or possibly Kauai. Treadmills are so flexible. They take you anywhere! :)
This is an excellent exercise option. I recommend it. You may not need all the options on this one. In fact, I ust use the HRC (heart rate) or the weight loss sessions. As I get stronger, I might want to do others, but those are flexible enough to do anything I should ever want to do, so a basic machine probably would have been enough.

EF Fitness Roman Chair EF-4429 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this from [...] on a Veteran's Day sale for less than $120, including shipping! I wanted something with a small footprint, and took a close look at the Stamina Ab/Hyper bench, but $149 was the cheapest I could find for that. The EF actually looks more like a Roman Chair, so when the EF went on sale for $29 less, I pulled the trigger. I ordered it on Monday morning, it got here Wednesday afternoon. It was fairly well packed, but one of the plastic chrome-plated end caps for the ankle cushions arrived broken. Don't care. It took about an hour, maybe an hour 15 minutes to assemble, and assembly was easy and straightforward. The parts are machined to pretty good tolerances, but not super precise. You will really need a socket set to tighten down those bolts, or the machine will wobble and shake. Once the bolts were tightened the way they should be, all wobble and shake was gone, and the machine is very solid. Only time will tell how durable the cushions are. Now the cons: If you are shorter than about 5 feet tall, or taller than 6 foot 2, you might not want this machine, because the horizontal distance between the seat cushions and the ankle support cushions is NOT adjustable. To get that adjustability, you will want to pay about $250 for a Powertec, BodyCraft, or similar machine. The EF4429 also sits a little lower to the floor than what you might be used to at the gym. My seat cushions are 34 inches off the floor, and I could easily see a tall person (6 foot 3 or more) actually hitting their head on the floor at full contraction. I gave it four stars for these reasons, but for my personal situation, it's a five star machine. If you are a medium-sized person, I see little point in spending more money, this is a great value.

Whether your goal is a long lean torso, chiseled well-defined abdominal muscles, a better posture or the elimination/prevention of back pain, the EF-4429 will help you meet any of these objectives. The EF-4429 is a high quality roman chair with a high weight capacity. While you can perform a variety of exercises on this one machine, the main exercises are back extensions and abdominal crunches. Back extensions are done lying face down while abdominal crunches are performed sitting face up. Both require your torso to be resting on the dual chest/hip pads and your lower legs securely braced around the 4 adjustable foam rollers. There are widely angled handles mounted beneath the chest/hip pads that aid in positioning yourself properly on the EF-4429 as well as serve as a safety feature to steady yourself should you exhaust during a workout. The dual chest/hip pads allow for users of various hip widths to use the unit with comfort while not sacrificing stability or functionality. The ankle pads are adjustable to multiple positions with the spring loaded pin on the rear of the unit. This will accommodate individuals of various heights or leg lengths.
