To lift from the tower cross arm, put the unit at level 8. Pull the detent pin from the

vertical hole in the tower cross arm and insert it into the horizontal hole to lock the tower

cross arm into place. Then with both hands, lift the tower off the ﬂoor.

For long distance transportation, your Total Gym should be folded and rolled on the

transport wheels in hand-truck fashion as explained in Transporting Your Total Gym

(Folded).

Repositioning Your Total Gym(UNFOLDED)

When using your Total Gym

, wear athletic shoes and comfortable lightweight clothing.

Tie long hair back to avoid contact with the center pulley. Before you begin, check to

ensure that all parts are in place and working properly. Begin your exercise program at

a low incline. As your proﬁciency increases, raise the incline to increase the intensity.

Remember to control the glideboard at all times, particularly when getting on or off your

Total Gym. The following tips will help you anchor the glideboard as you approach the

unit for mounting in various positions. Use these anchoring instructions when teaching

clients to get on and off the unit.
