A genuinely full-body home gym once you learn the folding and attachment routine, and the included foot plate is worth checking for since lower models skip it.

Overview
The Total Gym XLS is a folding home gym that uses your own bodyweight against an inclined glide board across 6 resistance levels, with more than 80 exercises and a foot plate included for leg work.
- Folds to about 19 in W x 51 in L x 9 in H
- 6 resistance levels from bodyweight incline
- 400 lb bench weight capacity
- Includes foot plate for leg exercises
Who it's for
Fits people who want a single machine for full-body strength work at home and are willing to learn the setup and attachment swaps. Less suited to anyone who can't get help moving a heavy folded unit up stairs or into a small storage space.
Pros and cons
- Covers arms, chest, back and legs on one machine
- Folds down for storage when not in use
- Includes the foot plate for leg exercises
- Heavy enough to need help carrying upstairs
- Unfolding and swapping attachments takes practice at first
- Priced well above basic budget alternatives
Performance notes
Resistance comes from the incline angle of the glide board across 6 levels rather than external weights, and the foot plate opens up leg-focused exercises that lower Total Gym models leave out. It folds to a compact size for storage after use.

Frequently asked questions
Does the XLS include the foot plate?
Yes, this model includes it, and a physical therapist reviewer says Total Gyms without the foot plate lose about half their available exercises.
