Affordable Total Gym models
Total Gym exercise machines have been around for a long time now. When you can find the old versions, they are very affordable in price at the low end. There are also many affordable new versions in this range too. These may well suit what you are looking for and can compare to other exercise machines in this same price range.
New or used?
What you will find here is listings for the products that are highly rated with well detailed information. Furthermore, if there are used models worth noting, I have them in orange font so that you can identify this easily. In the models below, when the price is not shown, it is because there are multiple sellers and prices.
