Fitness Quest Total Gym 1700 Club

Pros: Price, Accessories, Features, Convenience, Versatility, Quality Build, Option to Add Weights

Cons: Takes up 8 feet of floor space, doesn't fold easy - heavy

The Bottom Line: A great piece of workout equipment, I would expect to pay much more, solid and would highly recommend.

Review: MY QUEST TO FIND THE RIGHT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT - I have been paying 360.00 a year for a membership to a ladies gym in my area. With a full time job, children, being a part time student, wife, etc... it became harder to get the motivation to drive to the ...

Pros: Sets up easily, price is really good compared to a true Pilates Reformer price!

Cons: I can't put it on lowest height setting on carpet, it won't slide properly.

The Bottom Line: Get the bells and whistles. The leg strap, the extra stationary bars, the Pilates bar, and leg bar. The more you have, the more strenuously you can work out.

Review: Since my birthday is at the end of Dec. and my New Years resolution was to get fit, the Total Gym 1700 Club was my present! I have to admit this is very nice. Setting up the machine was easy. It is ready to go from the box and all you do is open ...

Pros: Cheaper then the informercials

Cons: adjusting the board and changing accesorys take time.

Review: The total gym 1700 is money well spent. You can really build defination in your arms and legs doing the squats. It is also constantly working your abs. I would recommend this machine to anyone if they are looking into toning and firming their body. It ...

Pros: Good value for money. Easy to use.

Cons: You need to know what your doing.

Review: I have used this product and it is great value for money. It gives your whole body a great workout as long as you know what you are doing! I found using this and running were the best thing i could have done, its much better than going to the gym and you ...

Pros: Inexpensive, easy way to work your muscle groups.

Cons: Not for the elite athlete; low user body weight.

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a Total Gym you can get a decent one for under $500.

Review: At the request of readers I am reviewing the Total Gym 1700 Club. When I wrote my review of the 1500 I mentioned that it was most similar to the 1700. However companies change models frequently. The 1700 Club (which is the only 1700 there is) is ...

Pros: Good workout if you only want it to lasts 6 months. Guaranteed to fall apart.

Cons: Poor design; poor customer service; no additional resistance to challenge your endurance; overpriced

The Bottom Line: Purchase only if you want it to fall apart in less than 6 months and not receive customer service.

Review: I purchased both the Total Gym 1700 and Weider Total Body Works 5000. Full disclosure: I do not work or have family members and friends who work for either of these companies. I agree with the reviews for the Total Body Works 5000. I won't repeat ...
