Should I Buy It?
If you're seeking a versatile and sturdy home gym solution that offers a variety of exercises and you don't mind investing a bit more for higher quality, the Apex G5 Total Gym could be a suitable choice. It may require some added investment for extra resistance options and will need ample space, but customer satisfaction seems high, particularly for those looking for a durable machine with adaptable workout options.
Exactly as advertised! Very easy to use and makes workouts fun. Comes in fully assembled. Just pull it out and start working out. I love that it folds up and can be easily stored away when I finish my workout. It weighs about 70lbs, so itβs a little cumbersome. Very well built and is really sturdy. The different height levels offer increased resistance levels as you progress gradually and gives greater functionality. I will definitely recommend this product.

Well, I have been a professional trainer for nearly 25 years and I am also a professor of exercise physiology and biomechanical science. Of course I have been tearing down and examining fitness equipment for a lot of years in my opinion, total gyms are some of the best systems you are going to find. They work on a very simple system of pulleys and gravity wait. Moreover, this model along with the others has the slot opening and the glideboard for the weight bar. Therefore, if you are stronger than your body weight you can simply add weight plates on the weight bar. This machine is high quality and there is nothing in the gym that you can do that you can't do on this apparatus. That is the literal truth. Once you get used to using the leg attachment you will really enjoy a great lower body workout. In addition, there are so many things to do for the upper body that you will never run out of exercises to perform. This whole machine is also designed around core abdominal strength. you literally have to work out your core to perform nearly every exercise involved on this machine. You can even use this apparatus as an abdominal coaster to develop the lower abdominals. I really only have a couple of criticisms. First off, be aware that this apparatus only has a 300 lb weight capacity. if you purchase a weight bar and are adding weight plates this will definitely make a difference. If I had to purchase a total gym over again on Amazon I would get the Apex g5 for $100 more because it has a 370 lb weight capacity. I was unaware of that fact until it was too late to exchange it. It does come with a warranty of one year so if the frame snaps you are covered for that amount of time. Although, if you know how to weld or have a friend that does this machine is easy to fix or repair and even reinforce on your own. The second criticism I have is the squat board. The squat board that total gyms come with from the factory are way too short to attempt doing a proper squat safely. You should never allow your knee to go past the plane of your toe while doing a squat or leg press. You can do yourself in great harm allowing that to happen. Total gym does offer an extra large squat board that is available on their website for $100 more. It is definitely worth it to purchase the larger squat board. I have absolutely no idea why Total gym doesn't just offer that in the box when you purchase their gyms. The shorter squat board really only works for a few exercises and you cannot do a complete squat. You should also be aware that there is another extra large squat board that is advertised on Amazon but, in my opinion it should not be used with this gym. It does not Mount properly in the two holes for the metal columns. The mountain columns need to be at least 2 in to 3 in longer at the columns base to make it mount safely. It is better to avoid that squat board for safety reasons. The one available on the Total gym website is the designed properly and it will mount the way it is supposed to.

This is my second Total gym. Quality and design are worth mentioning. Being a retiree, this has all I need to keep myself in shape. The only complaint is that it was listed about $100 cheaper a couple of months after purchase. The company still gave me a $40 credit which I appreciate and they are customer focused as well. If you're older keep in mind you have to be able to get up when you're done working out. It's easy to get down onto the machine which is comfortable and functions as advertised. It's just hard getting up sometimes. This Total gym has everything you need but I would wait for it to go on sale. I paid $470 so look out for sales and/or coupons!

I've been strength training for over 20 years, only taking time off for vacations and injury/illness. Since my company provides an amazing gym for employees and we have limited space in our house, I had never bothered to create a home gym prior to the current pandemic. Once we were forced into isolation, I realized that I had to find a good way to keep myself in shape while stuck at home. Currently, free weights are nearly impossible to find at a reasonable price and my wife doesn't want me to take up a lot of space with benches and/or squat racks. My wife had a Total Gym 1000 that hadn't been used in many years. After cleaning it up and trying it, I discovered that one of these units would help me do my workouts at home. However, her old unit was in pretty bad condition and there was no way to add a squat stand to it. I researched the latest models, but I didn't want to wait 2-3 weeks to receive it. I also have a serious problem with each of the latest models (Supreme - low maximum weight, XLS - only 6 resistance levels, FIT - cost). After doing some research, I found the Apex G3. This unit is comparable to the more expensive Total Gym Supreme. I decided to order one and I'm extremely happy with this machine. I can easily replace about 80% of my exercises with one on the Total Gym. Any movement that you would do with a resistance less than about 60% of your body weight you can do with this machine. The biggest problem is that for bigger movements like squats, bench presses and pull-ups, you might have to make some adjustments or find more isolation movements to work those same muscles. For example, I do pull-ups and shoulder presses with one arm instead of with both arms. For quadriceps, the only reasonable exercise for me is a single leg squat. I ordered the optional weight bar and hope that adding some weight to the sled will provide a better workout for these compound movements. Overall, I'm really impressed by the Total Gym Apex G3. It took me a little while to find the exact movements and resistance levels to use for certain exercises, but now everything feels great. The unit is very solid and the movements are smooth. I'm especially impressed at the quality of the workout I'm getting for my back, shoulders, biceps and triceps. It's certainly not as good as doing my normal gym workouts, but it's a great piece of equipment that provides a decent workout in a limited space without spending a fortune. Two big thumbs up !!!
