Total Trainer DLX III REVIEW

Brandon Vargas ays in his Total Trainer DLX III review that purchasing it was an ‘unfortunate’ decision. He says it’s not been of any use to him as he is 6’1″ due to which using this equipment is difficult. He says people who are shorter will find it more convenient to exercise with Total Trainer DLX III.

Another user, Orville Collins, has written about Total Trainer DLX III in his review that though its quality is good and its design competent, certain things have missed the mark. He says the hook that holds the cable turns when used, and the cable also slips, which makes it rather risky even though it is sturdy. Though the Total Trainer DLX III is well-constructed, it’s rather large and can’t be accommodated in homes that have large space.

Betsy Lowe, another disappointed user, has pointed out in her Total Trainer DLX III review that instruction material to demonstrate exercises for complex actions like using the toe bar and ab-strap have not been provided. She says that even though it is easy to set it, it is rather heavy and bulky, Some of its parts have Already started wearing off. She’s also complained about jet black wheel residue on the chrome railings she’s started noticing. One of the wheels is also disintegrating, which makes using it a rather uncomfortable experience.

Reginald Sanders, who purchased Total Trainer DLX III has stated in his review that this equipment is rather noisy and lacks basic things needed to make it function well such as a powerful and dependable Velcro strap. He says its foot board rails also bent downward after the first the first time he used it. Since he has a heavily built personality, he feels quite uncomfortable using Total Trainer DLX III since it’s not made for people like him.

Total Gym XLS REVIEW

Brandon Graham , a disappointed customer, has complained in his Total Gym XLS review that he finds a strong toxic stench emanating from vinyl seating surface. He’s aghast as he also noticed a “Made in China” tag on it. He says it’s a completely ill-designed equipment as it injured his shoulder while exercising. He says he’s never experienced anything as bad with free weights. He says he’d like to advice everyone planning to opt for Total Gym XLS to think more than twice and always bear in mind that it’s not safer than free weights.

Garrett Clarke, another customer who’s been using the Total Gym XLS says in his review that parts like the rollers are good enough and last longer but others like its bed are not up to the mark. It cannot fit in a small room as it’s rather bulky. However, he says that it does provide good resistance, is a well-made equipment which is easy to assemble and allows for different types of exercises.

Eric Allen, a customer who’s used the Total Gym XLS says in his review that being short in stature, less than five feet, his legs are unable to reach the bar. He says that he can’t use the Glide board move, which he finds annoying. He wishes its manufacturers improvise its design and make it flexible enough for people of small built to be able to use it.

Harold Brooks who’s also given his observations for Total Gym XLS, says that unlike free weights, its resistance feature is not constant and cannot be adjusted in small sessions. He says that some exercises which target large muscles cannot get enough resistance from it. He also says that Total Gym XLS is suitable for homes that have limited space available. He also says it’s not very strong and appears to have the capacity to hold up to 400 pounds only.

Vigorfit REVIEW

According to Kevin Brooks, a customer who’s bought Vigorfit recently, states in his review on the same that the machine seems quite solid but if you need instructions about its usage, you’ll be disappointed. He says some of its components, such as its plastic parts, are also not up to the mark. instructions were pretty poor and so tiny that they were very difficult to read.. He’s not too happy with the ropes provided in I; they don’t serve the purpose and keep rubbing the frame frequently.

Janice Phillips, a user who’s been using Vigorfit has written in her review on it that it’s quite easy to assemble. She noticed that its ropes are made from rubber or plastic coated cables but still creaks during use. She doesn’t find it very smooth to use. She says she has to take a lot of care while using it in order to be safe. Further, she says its chest press exercise feature is also not as good as it appears to be.
