The Total body home gym from Dynagym gym equipment, is a foldable, gliding, body weight against resistance type gym. Like the MEGA Trainer, its another knock-off of the more famous Total Gym 3000 but only a little over half the price. It's cheaper than the MEGA Trainer (but about 6" shorter too).

Dynagym gym equipment claim you can do up to 74 different exercises.

Reviews of the Dynagym home gym equipment, claim that a lot of the exercises are either awkward or very similar to each other, but you will most likely never do that many. Don't be discouraged however, because when you go to your regular club gym, you have a whole building full of machines and would usually do no more than 12 to 15 different exercises.

Pros for the Dynagym home gym equipment

cheap

small

light

foldable

plenty of possible exercises

comes with workout programs and video and re-usable workout chart

Cons - for the Dynagym gym equipment

there is no back support for exercises done in a sitting position;

no head support for exercises done in lying;

the angle of resistance for regular exercises are different from standard type gyms and so can feel a little strange at first;

the DynaGym Total Body (not the MEGA Trainer or Total Gym 3000) is too short for anyone over about 5'10" to 5'11". The makers say 6'1" but it probably won't be very comfortable.

Overall - Dynagym gym equipment

Gliding gyms are actually used as therapeutic tools in thousands of hospitals across the U.S., however, if you want to lift heavier and do specific exercises that aren't really possible with the gliding, body weight as resistance type gym, then you may need to look elsewhere.

If you are new to resistance training and not ready to commit to a more expensive gym then this may be the ticket. Or if your interests are in toning and not necessarily building huge muscles then again you will probably find everything you need in the DynaGym Total Body Home Gym - Dynagym gym equipment range.
