    The Total Gym is an exercise machine that allows users to perform over 40 different exercises targeting multiple muscle groups using their own body weight for resistance. It takes up less space than having separate machines for each muscle group. Common uses include strengthening, range of motion, balance, and cardiovascular exercises. Patients with conditions like osteoporosis, shoulder injuries, knee replacements, or hip replacements often use the Total Gym.
