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 SIGNATURE SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL | STARTING OUT & ADDITIONAL WORKOUT TOOLS

To order more accessories, please go to TotalGymDirect.com 10

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 Training Deck included with your Total Gym®.

Inspection & 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.

• 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: cables, pulleys, ropes, wheels, glideboard, squat

stand and 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.

TO STORE YOUR TOTAL GYM®

Follow these easy steps to store your Total Gym®properly:

1. First, remove all Accessories and Attachments.

2. Remove Safety Hitch C Pin and Straight Safety Pin from Vertical

Column.

3. Be sure the Cable Pulley is attached to the Hook on the

underside of the Glideboard for folding.

4. Keeping one hand on the frame, use your other hand to pull the

Height Adjustment Quick Release Knob Pin out and lower the

frame until it rests on the Back Crossbar. When you let go of

the Height Adjustment Quick Release Knob Pin, you should hear

it snap back into place.

5. Pull out the Black Spring Loaded Pin Knob located at the Right

Rail. Continue to hold Pin out while taking hold of the Vertical

Column and lowering it forward towards the Center Support Rail

& Glideboard. Once completely forward, release the Pin. You

should hear it snap back into place.

6. With caution, to avoid pinched ﬁngers or hands, lift up at the

center of the frame and fold the exerciser together.

When it is completely folded, the exerciser should be at a

90-degree angle with the ﬂoor. The exerciser will rest on the

Squat Stand for support.
