One of the privileges I have, as the winner of the Total Gym Total Mom Challenge, is to give away a Total Gym XLS. I can’t tell you how excited I am to be able to play a role in someone else’s total fitness quest!
I lost over 60 pounds by following a healthy diet, getting regular cardio exercise, and using my Total Gym XLS (11.5 pounds and 8 inches were lost after I started using the Total Gym XLS).

Wendy T says
I need to lose my belly. When my eleven year old daughter passed away from brain cancer, I turned to food as my drug. I have gained quite a few pounds in the belly – where they say stress shows.
Now when I look in the mirror I not only see a heartbroken shell of a woman, but one that looks fat and that just perpetuates that part of the bad feelings. I got my hair done yesterday, and while looking at how nice the hairdresser made it, I just couldn’t help but see the belly and really feel that it’s time to do something about it….to feel good about something again.
That’s my goal.
Joy F says
To lose 70 pounds. Wish me luck. Thanks.

Oh gosh, let’s see…. I lost 40 pounds before I got pregnant… My goal is to get under 200 pounds to begin with…. I’m about…. *sigh* 45 pounds from that goal, so that’s where I want to start….. again.

My goal is to be healthy and increase my level of fitness which of course would hopefully mean the pounds would start coming off. I tend to have high blood pressure but when I’m working out like I should then it’s fine and ultimately I just want to live the longest life possible.

My fitness goals are to workout at least 5 days a week. Hubby and I just finished remodeling our garage into a home gym and it’s so awesome. This would make a great addition.

Looking forward to reading more about your experience with the Total Gym.

Christine W says
My friend had a Total Gym before he sold it. I used it and it was amazing how little time I used it and how well it did for me. I feel having one of these would get me back to my pre accident and pre pregnancy weight. I used to dance and after long bed rest because of these two things, I have gained 50 pounds. My goal is to lose 30 of those 50 pounds and I KNOW the total gym can help me do this!

since being disabled from a car wreck I went from working out every day of the week for at least 2 hours to not working out. I really need to get back into it since we’ve managed to get my pain levels under control, I feel that if I feel healthier then I will also be healthier and frame of mind is a huge part of chronic pain. So that’s my goal to get back to working out and no real goal except get healthier.
