"As an Olympic athlete, I have access to probably the best equipment in the world. I have personally chosen to use the Total Gym as part of my workout regimen because I've seen the results. It's a piece of machinery that has totally changed my training and made it so much more efficient," shared Lysacek.  "At the gym, I was having to use 15, 16 sometimes 20 different apparatuses to get the workout that I needed. With the Total Gym, I can not only cater to the specific muscle groups that I need but also adopt the exercise so that I am getting a total body workout. I was blown away by the quality of the Total Gym, I trust it very much!"

"For the kind of job we do as dancers, it is really important to stay in shape," explained Trebunskaya. "The leg exercises that you can do on this particular equipment are amazing because, when you do it, you really feel it in your thighs, in your bum, in your hamstrings, in your calves. You really get a whole leg workout – which is great!"

Lysacek and Trebunskaya join the opinions of other internationally-renowned users leveraging the complete success of Total Gym including super-model Christie Brinkley, actors Chuck Norris and Wesley Snipes and professional football player Kellen Winslow Jr.
