Yes, Amber, I am using the Total Gym, though I only got it this winter, so
can't really speak to the effectivness yet.  I live a little over 30 miles
from the nearest gym and during our snowy winters (10 inches yesterday) I
don't care to drive in to work out and I really needed something that would
offer me strength exercises.  I chose the TG because it offers the most
support and protection for my injured back and you can work the whole body.
The Torso Track looks down right dangerous to the lower back (just my
opinion).  I have to say that my favorite item from the TG people though is
the Theracane, a really weird looking cane for self massaging those knots
out of muscles in impossible to reach places.  I really love that thing!
