In today's fast paced world, the importance of physical fitness cannot be over-emphasized. This is all the more relevant taking into consideration the sedentary lifestyle repercussions such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, back problems, and a host of other ailments. Total gym is an organization dedicated to fitness offering a wide array of gym equipment. It is scientifically proven that exercises using body weight resistance working against gravity provides the fastest results, and also offers long term muscle gains. Most of the equipment from Total Gym is designed around this concept. A calibrated resistance meter enables the user to manipulate the intensity of his/her workout.

Total fitness involves exercising every muscle of the body, which vary in size and may not even be very obvious. For example, in the case of the arm, where the biceps, triceps, and deltoids are the relatively well known muscle groups, there are many subsidiary muscles interspersed between these large muscles. Total Gym's dynamic pulley system targets all muscle groups, enabling movement through all three special planes; front to back, side to side, and circular motion. The machines are designed to maximize efficiency and minimize chances of injury by preventing stress to the joints, and the skeletal structure, which is the case with free weights.

In addition to exercise machines for normal people, Total Gym also offers products for patients undergoing rehabilitation in hospitals, helping them regain their strength and thus hasten recovery time. Pilates aficionados too have been using the Total Gym Gravity Reformer, which enhances endurance and body toning. All the machines are foldable and are rendered with castors enhancing portability. The company also provides exercise videos, which customers can view to chalk out their workout schedule to maximize health returns.
