Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-29 Summary: Exceeded my expectations... ... This equipment is fantastic! Very solid look, and feel. The exercises are endless on this equipment, you can get a complete, and intensive workout. I have used free-weights on-and-off for many years but I can say that you can get great results using this alone. The workouts on this have really exceeded my expectations! The only reason I didn't give the Total Trainer Power Pro the full 5-star rating is due to a minor cosmetic issue that really doesn't affect the operation of the equipment - but this issue was time consuming ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-02-14 Summary: Bayou Power Pro ... Well I needed exercise equipment and I have no space and this folds. So yes a lot of other equipment folds and though I have a lot of stuff in a small space this will just fit and all the extras are included. I have not owned a Total Gym and I am sure they work just fine, if you buy the more expensive models and don't mind paying for extras. One other point I would like to make is that the max user weight for the power pro is 500lbs which is 100lbs more than the top model at the total gym website. I did not have the ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-08-22 Summary: Exellent Product ... I did not buy this from amazon but directly from the manufacturer, Bayou Fitness.(same price) After watching the Total Gym on QVC for a little less than $300 I checked it out because I like the idea of this type of machine. After checking that specific model on QVC only held 250lbs (I am 375) I looked at Total Gym's site. For a model that handles 350lbs it is well over $1000 and made in China too boot.(manufacturer gets the savings but still slams the end user with high prices) I then checked out amazon and up popped ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-07 Summary: Excellent product ... I looked for exercising machine to buy for my house but I didn't want anything big that would take a lot of space. So I looked into 4 or 5 different companies that make equipment similar to the DLX III and all of them were pricier. I thought that the quality would suffer but I read other reviews and decided to buy it. And turned out that other reviewers were correct. This machine i quite heavy and quality made (shipped in one box and weighed slightly over 100 lbs.). Booklet covers a range of exercises but if you are ...more
