Description
The Total Gym Press Trainer is a commercial shoulder press machine that introduces an entirely new way to do a shoulder press. The Press Trainer places users in an inverted position, unloading the lower back and reducing spinal compression. Seven adjustable levels allow users to select a percentage of their own bodyweight as resistance, while the unique closed chain design reduces shoulder impingement that users typically feel using traditional shoulder press gym equipment and stabilizes the shoulder girdle for safe and effective upper body strengthening. Users are also provided with a mechanism for performing a decline push-up.

I bought a Total Gym Press Trainer ( Out Of Box Unit ) about 5 weeks ago, and I think now is the time to write the review of this excellent piece of equipment. The delivery was very fast, the unit actually arrived earlier than expected. The unit was an ex-demo, so it came already assembled. One bolt was partially loose, so I had to remove it and re-tighten it back properly. Another bolt was missing completely, but I was lucky to have the similar bolt at my house, so I just put that one in instead. Then I tightened all the nuts & bolts there were just to make sure the unit would be like newly-assembled. I purchased this particular presser because I have bad knees, so I cannot stand when working out – this presser allows me to work my upper body completely, I can even use it as a bench for working out with dumbbells. The sliding board is very quiet when in use, and overall, I am very happy with this press trainer. It is very-well built and sturdy, it doesn’t make any creaky noises, and I believe it will last me for the rest of my life, honestly.

Total Gym UK (Ethics Leisure) are brilliant. My initial enquiry was over the weekend .. the reply was still the same day. Andy Gill was/is very knowledgeable of the product and understands customer needs …. or more importantly, understands each customer’s needs are quite different. IMHO .. companies should be very much judged on how they deal with a problem. I had a couple (caused by me) of issues which were sorted and dealt with rationally and efficiently.
Total Gym have a good range of products to suit age and pocket. A definite contender if considering home resistance equipment (can use for CV). If I was undecided based on specification, I would go with a Total Gym solution based on the supplier.
My personal favourite is the Elevate Series – Total Gym Press Trainer and would highly recommend it to anyone!
Good Luck.

‘TotalGymShop’ were extremely helpful in overcoming the ‘BREXIT’ paperwork between UK / Ireland – and took care of logistics / paperwork.
From the initial online order, I received the ‘TotalGym Encompass’ in 4 days – as if it was ‘SHOP LOCAL’ – no hassle.
I would definitely do business with Andy / Stuart from ‘TotalGymShop’ again.
