TOTAL GYM® FIT ULTIMATE 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 .

A. Detach the pulley mechanism from the hook
on the underside of the glideboard.
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).
®
B. Next, connect
the D-ring/pulley
combination of your
leg pull accessory to
the leg pull bracket
on the vertical
column. See page 8
on how to attach Leg
Pull Bracket to top of
vertical column.
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.
®
C. Attach the foot
harnesses to your
feet by placing your
foot in the harness
so the sewn-in-ring
is on the bottom of
your foot. Pull tightly
on the belt so the
harness is secure.
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.
®
Foot Harnesses
supplied with
Leg Pull Accessory.
D. Connect the clip on
the end of the leg
pulley rope to the
O-ring on one of the
foot harnesses.
E. Connect one end of
the Pilates 24-inch
rope to the O-ring on
the leg pulley rope.
F. Next, connect the
other end of the
Pilates 24-inch rope
to the O-ring on the
other foot harness.
• 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.
You are now ready to begin your Pilates exercise
program.
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.
REMOVE ALL ACCESSORIES WHEN YOU
ARE NOT EXERCISING WITH THEM.
For the specific Total Gym exercises and programs, follow the exercises
in the Total Gym Training Deck included with your Total Gym .

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.

reference when you can’t watch the workout.
This starter program has been designed as a circuit training
