Total Gym Fitness Dynamic Plank Core & Abdominal Trainer Blast Workout Machine

This product was totally easy to put together and very easy to use. I followed the directions and as long as I followed along step by step everything worked great! It took a short amount of time for assembly. The product is very sturdy. It withstands my weight which is no small feat lol! I like that it comes with a DVD with exercises to do with the workout bench and they are easy to follow and adapt to my level of experience. It is aesthetically pleasing. The blue and black colors work well together . The glideboard is smooth and slides with no problems. Overall the Total Gym workout system is an awesome way to get in shape and stay healthy in the comfort of my own home day or night. Quiet and sleek I enjoy my workouts now!

I noticed the name Total Gym on the selection and chose right away. The brand I have seen on television for many years as they make excellent products. This is no different. The product is well built, will last quite some time, and although it seems very simple it works quite well. First I will talk about the assembly. Pretty basic. The package is quite large as that whole bottom piece comes already assembled. So when you receive the package it will be quite large and might be a bit difficult to move around as it weights 40 lbs. A two wheeler or maybe another person to help carry the product in your house or apartment. The product comes with a manual that is fair in terms of assembly manuals that I have used. The Walmart website has a video that gives step by step instructions. I kept wanting to pause the video do the step and then come back to the video but video didn't seem to work well when I put it on pause. So I started with the manual but found the video assembly much easier to use as you can see the pictures and how the bolts line up with each other. For example one part is labeled right side and the other left side. I don't know if I have problems with right from left but didn't know from what direction. The video made that much simpler as per lining the holes and position of the parts. Its a pretty simple assembly and took me about 1 hour. I read some reviews about complaints with how to assemble. With the video on the Walmart website you won' t have any problems at all. Real simple. The DVD runs about 10 minutes. 9:38 to be exact. The trainer explains all of the different exercises that can be done on this Abdominal trainer. The exercises are well explained and it is quite well done. She sounds a bit far away on the dvd. I would have liked the sound to have a little more clarity and more depth as she seems to far away from the mic. That is a very minor point but thought as long as I'm doing the review I would mention that. Besides the DVD a nice wall chart comes with the Workout machine. This wall chart shows the different exercises that can be done. The product as mentioned is from Total Gym and seems to be high quality and nice padding and materials. The exercises work as described and seem to be of great benefit. To conclude: The price is quite reasonable for this product, the assembly is simple enough, the exercises are quite useful, and seems to be a machine that you would use for many years. A definite buy on this product. Highly recommend.!!!!!
