For Maximum

Safety, Please Read

This Owner’s Manual

Before Using Your

Total Gym 1100.

Congratulations on purchasing your

new Total Gym®1100.

With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start your

own workout program, to tone and strengthen the important muscle groups

of your upper and lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age,

sex, or fitness level, and regardless of whether your primary goal is body

sculpting, weight control, health maintenance, or more energy for

daily activities.

Strength training not only tones and conditions the muscles we use every

day to stand, walk, lift, and turn; it can actually transform our body

composition. By reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean

muscle in our bodies, strength training can effectively turn up our metabolic

thermostat, so that we burn calories all the time, no matter what we’re

doing.

It’s easy—all you have to do is spend 15 to 20 minutes a day, 3 to 4 days

per week on your Total Gym 1100 to start realizing the benefits.

Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully.

It is the authoritative source of information about your

Total Gym 1100.

If you have questions about your Total Gym 1100, please call

Customer Service at 1-800-321-9236,

Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time.

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

INSPECT YOUR TOTAL GYM 1100 PRIOR TO EACH USE

Before using your Total Gym 1100 for your workout session, be sure to make the

following inspection:

•Make sure the equipment is fully opened and sitting on a solid, level surface with plenty of

clearance on all sides. Unit should be used on a mat or on carpeted surfaces only.

•Make sure all the Hitch Pins are securely in place and locked into position.

•Check that the Pulley is attached securely to the loop on the top underside of

the glideboard.

•Check that the Cables are traveling correctly in the groove of each pulley.

•Make sure the Cable is securely fastened to each Hand Grip.

•Check that the Multi Function Attachment or other accessories are installed

correctly when in use.

•Make sure the Glideboard is gliding smoothly along the frame.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

•Wipe down your Total Gym 1100 on a regular basis using a clean cloth and alcohol or

alcohol-based products like Windex®or 409®. Do not leave towels or workout clothing

laying or hanging on the equipment.

•Periodically check the following parts for signs of fraying or other wear: the cable,

pulleys, wheels, glideboard, accessories and frame. If the cable, pulleys, frame or wheels

need replaced – do not use your unit, wait until the part is replaced.

If any other part than the ones listed above needs to be replaced, do not use that part until

it is replaced.

•Never use a lubricant such as WD-40®or ArmorAll®to lubricate or clean the unit. Use only

3-in-1®oil or machine oil to lubricate the axles of the wheel or pulley, not the roller surface.

TO STORE YOUR TOTAL GYM 1100

Follow these easy steps to store your exerciser properly:

1. Remove all accessories and attachments.

2. Remove Safety Hitch Pin and Safety Pin from Vertical Column.

3. Be sure the Cable Pulley is attached to the underside of the glideboard for folding.

4. Position one foot on back crossbar to keep the product from lifting off the floor. With one

hand on the rail, grasp the height adjustment “C” pin and pull it out from the height

adjustment column. Slowly lower the rails until they rest on the back crossbar.

5. Lower the height adjustment column all the way down until it rests on the center rail.

SET UP

Your product comes with:

• Safety Hitch Pin located at the bottom of the Vertical Column, which must be removed prior to unfolding.

• One (1) Spring Loaded Pin locked into the base of the left rail by the height adjustment tube. Left side is determined

by standing behind the unit facing the Vertical Column.

IMPORTANT: To Prevent Injury – Be sure the spring-loaded pin is locked securely into place in the left

rail before using unit. This will prevent the height adjustment column from falling forward.

• One Large Hitch Pin for Leg Pulley Bracket is located in the Leg Pulley Accessory Kit as well as two Large Hitch Pins

for the Multi Function Attachment.

IMPORTANT: Before using the Multi Function Attachment or Leg Pulley Accessory be sure the Hitch Pins are

securely inserted (see page 8, 9 & 11 of this manual for directions).

1. Pull the product out of the shipping box. Remove all packaging

materials, including tape and cardboard inserts, from your unit.

2. Lay product on the floor with glideboard side up. Make sure you have

plenty of space on both ends of the product. Slide the glideboard as far

as it will go towards the Front Crossbar before you begin lifting unit.

3. Lift the exerciser up by holding it at the top of the rails. Using your foot,

slowly spread the unit open at the bottom approximately 12 inches so

that it rests firmly on the Front and Back Crossbars not allowing it to go

too far.

4. Make sure the handles are out to the sides before

you begin to unfold your unit. Keep hands and

fingers away from pulley. Hold onto the top center

of glideboard and begin rolling rear rollers. Spread

the unit out until it is flat on the floor. Be careful to

do this slowly.

Be sure to support the frame in the center to

avoid having the product drop suddenly onto

the floor or pinch fingers.

5. (a) Remove Safety Hitch Pin from bottom of Vertical

Column. Remove plastic packing ties from the top

and bottom of the Vertical Column. Pull out the

Spring Loaded Pin Knob located at the left rail

(NOTE - pin shown in picture is on right side) to

release Spring Loaded Pin. Continue to hold pin out

while performing the next step.

STARTING OUT

Wear athletic shoes and comfortable light clothing when exercising on the Total Gym 1100. Do

not exercise barefoot. Check your exerciser before using to ensure that all the parts are in place

and working properly (see page 12 & 13 for details on inspection, maintenance and storage).

Adult supervision is required at all times.

NOTE: The Rails and Glideboard can be raised to any desired level on the Height

Adjustment Column depending upon your degree of fitness. Please note, however,

that the Rails

cannot be raised to the highest position on the Height Adjustment Column when

the

Leg Pulley Bracket is attached to the column.

Be sure you have plenty of free space around the exerciser so that performing on

the Total Gym 1100, as well as getting on and off, is convenient and safe.

Each time you raise or lower the Adjustment Column, be sure you hold it to keep it from

dropping to the floor.

Begin using the product at a low incline. As your fitness level progresses, increase the incline to

increase the intensity and improve your muscle strength. Don’t be in a hurry to exercise at a high

intensity level; start out easily and build gradually. The Total Gym 1100 is as easy as 1-2-3

to use, so read on.

1. Important Things to Remember When Using the Total Gym 1100

• Always have control of the glideboard before getting on and off the exerciser.

• Keep your feet on the floor when getting on and off the exerciser. Only remove

them from the floor for the duration of the exercise.

• If you are using the handles, hold onto them as you get on and off the glideboard.

2. Exercising with the Handles Only

Grasp the handles which are attached to the cable and slide the glideboard to a position

in which you can comfortably sit or lay down when performing the desired exercise (see

Exercise Booklet). Be sure to keep your feet on the floor until you are in the correct

position for the specific exercise. Then, if the exercise calls for your feet to be off the

floor, place your feet as specified in the instructions.

3. Exercising with the Multi Function Attachment Only

Slide the glideboard to a position in which you can comfortably sit or lay down on when

performing the desired exercise (see your Exercise Booklet). Keep your feet on the

ground until you are in the correct position and feel comfortable. Then, place your feet in

the proper position and begin to exercise.

When starting your exercise program, begin with the basic exercises shown in the Exercise

Booklet included with your Total Gym 1100 to familiarize yourself with the movements. Use the

lowest incline level to start with – you can work up to a higher incline level in the weeks and

months to come.

For the specific Total Gym 1100 exercises and programs, study and follow the

instructions in the Exercise Booklet included with your product.

(b) Take hold of the Vertical Column and pull it up until it is upright.

Release the Spring Loaded Pin. You should hear it lock back into

place.

IMPORTANT: Be sure the Spring Loaded Pin is locked into

place before using your unit. You will know the pin is

locked into place when you can see the end protrude

through the inside of the rail bracket.

6. (a) Position one foot on back crossbar to keep the product from lifting

off the floor. With one hand on either the right or left rail and the other

hand holding the height adjustment “C” pin, slide the rails up along the

height adjustment column. Line up the hole to the first (lowest) position

on the height adjustment column.

(b) Insert height adjustment “C” pin

from the back as shown.

7. Push the pin down into its locked position (it should lay flat against

the height adjustment column).

Never sit on or exercise on the unit without the height

adjustment “C” pin securely locked into place.

NOTE: Insert Safety Hitch Pin in the side hole located

at the bottom of the Vertical Column.

(This is the pin you removed in step 5a).

8. If the Stopper at the bottom of the Vertical Column has not already

been installed, please do so now. Locate the Stopper which is packed

in the Leg Pully Kit (See Product Specifications on page 5 of this

manual). Unscrew nut on the end of the Stopper and remove. Insert

the Stopper into the hole located in the center of the Back Crossbar.

(See Fig. 1) Screw the nut back onto the Stopper and tighten with

Allen Wrenches provided. (See Fig. 2)

IMPORTANT: Proper installation of the Stopper is necessary

for the Rollers to function easily when the unit is folded and

rolled into place for storage.
