Our Rating
Rating: 80.0/100. The popular Total Gym Supreme is the lowest priced home gym in the Total Gym series. Many shoppers appreciate how a Total Gym works with gravity and is less jarring to your joints and tendons compared with weight stacks and dumbbells. The Total Gym bench, called a Glideboard, has adjustable angle so you can work against different percentages of your body weight. It allows pull-ups, ab crunches, leg presses and much more. Supporting more than 60 exercises, it can train your whole body in seamless 10 to 20 minute workout sessions.
The gravity method of strength training is easier on your body compared with using weight stacks or free weights; your joints don’t experience harsh impact with each repetition. DVDs and an exercise chart are provided to show how that Total Gym Supreme is versatile enough for everything from very gentle to very intense training.
