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

TOTAL GYM ® FIT MAX OWNER’S MANUAL | STARTING OUT
Starting Out
Wear athletic shoes and comfortable light clothing when exercising on your Total Gym
®
. Do not exercise barefoot. Check your exerciser before use to ensure that all the parts are in place and working properly (see page 11 for details of the inspection process).
Adult supervision is required whenever a child is on or near this exerciser.
Begin using the product at a low incline. As your fitness 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. Total Gym
® is as easy as 1-2-3 to use, so read on.
1. Important Things to Remember When Using Total Gym
®
• Be sure to have plenty of free space - at least 2-3 feet of clearance around the exerciser - so that performing on the
Total Gym
®
, as well as getting on and off, is convenient and safe.
• Always have control of the glideboard before getting on and off the exerciser.
• Keep your feet on the floor when getting on and off the exerciser. Only remove them from the floor for the duration of the exercise.
• If you are using the handles, hold onto them as you get on and off the glideboard.
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 on when performing the desired exercise. Be sure to keep your feet on the floor until you are in the correct position for the specific exercise. Then, if the exercise calls for your feet to be off the floor, place your feet as specified in the instructions.
3. Exercising with the Squat Stand Only
Slide the glideboard to a position in which you can comfortably sit or lay down on when performing the desired exercise. 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 Training Deck 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 specific Total Gym
®
exercises and programs, follow the exercises in the Total Gym
®
Training Deck included with your
Total Gym
®

Inspection and Maintenance
INSPECT YOUR TOTAL GYM ® PRIOR TO EACH USE
Before using your Total Gym
®
for your workout session, be sure to make the following inspection:
• Make sure the equipment is fully opened and sitting on a solid level surface with plenty of clearance on all sides.
• Check that the pulley is attached securely to the hook on the front underside of the glideboard, as well as the uprights on the support column.
• Make sure that the eyebolts are securely fastened to each upright on the support column.
• Check that the cables are traveling correctly in the groove of each pulley.
• Make sure the cable is securely fastened to each hand grip.
• Check the cable for signs of wear and tear.
• Check that the squat stand is installed correctly in the squat stand receptacles.
• When using Leg Pull Accessory, check the rope for signs of wear and tear and that the knots are tight and secure.
• Make sure the glideboard is gliding smoothly along the frame.
• Make sure all the safety hitch pins and height adjustment pin are securely in place and locked into position.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
• Wipe down your Total Gym
®
after each use with a clean, damp
(not wet) cloth. Do not leave towels or workout clothing laying or hanging on the equipment.
• Periodically check the following parts for signs of fraying or other wear: the cable, the ropes, the pulleys, the wheels, the glideboard, the squat stand and the frame. If a part needs replacement, do not use the equipment until it is repaired or replaced.
• Periodically remove the glideboard to clean rails and glideboard wheels. See “To Remove the Glideboard” (on page 12) for details.
• Never use lubricant such as WD-40 ® or ArmorAll ® to lubricate or clean the unit. Use only 3-in-1 oil or machine oil to lubricate the axles of the wheel or pulley, not the roller surface.

Video. Follow this guide as you work-along or use it as a reference when you can’t watch the workout.
This starter program has been designed as a circuit training program to maximize cardio and strength training benefits.
