Body Mass Index (BMI) measures your height to weight ratio and gauges total body fat in adults. It's one of the most accurate ways to determine whether extra pounds can turn into a health risk.

Anorexia
Anorexia is a serious health risk and requires medical attention.

Underweight
You may be naturally slim, and this does not pose any risk unless you are not getting the proper amount of vitamins and nutrients. You don’t need to lose weight, but the Total Gym can help you build or tone your muscles.


Healthy
You are in a healthy weight range, but the Total Gym can help you feel or look even better. You can use the Total Gym to boost your cardio fitness, build or tone muscle, and increase your energy level for an all-around healthier lifestyle.

Marginally Overweight
You may need to lose a few pounds, and certainly should not gain more. Combined with healthy diet, a Total Gym regimen can help you lose those few extra pounds while increasing your energy level and toning your body.

Overweight
Losing weight should be a priority in order to avoid possible health risks. Eat a reduced calorie diet and use the Total Gym regularly to help burn off excess pounds while building muscle and boosting aerobic endurance.

Obese, Severely Obese, and Morbidly Obese
A BMI in the obese, severely obese, or morbidly obese category is a health risk and requires a sustained, life-long approach to losing weight. Proper nutrition is key; you should consult a physician before engaging in any exercise program.

Whether you want to lose weight, boost your cardio endurance, build muscle, or tone up and slim down, owning a Total Gym could be one of the healthiest decisions you make.
