With over 50 exercises, adjustable resistance, and a compact design, it’s perfect for any fitness enthusiast looking to maximize their workout space. ## Description Able to accommodate over 100 body shaping exercises, features body weight resistance and additional bands to add up to 50 lbs of resistance Review: Amazing value compared to the Total Gym. Assembles in 2-3 steps and comes with a poster of workouts... - First off, the construction: I'd let the box sit for over a week just because I feared having to wade through missing parts and complicated setup. Nope. Everything was already assembled save for a couple pieces and it was ready to go in MINUTES. That alone deserves 5 stars. I'd bought other workout machines and at least 3/4 of them came with missing parts. Second, the machine itself: Don't waste your money on the Total Gym. Weider shows you how simple this machine really is and owners of this machine will shake their heads at those that paid premium money for the Total Gym. I think someone else mentioned that the railing could use a little oil to avoid noise but, as is, the machine works exactly as advertised. I have found it difficult to both get seated AND grab the handles but that's not a failure of the machine as much as it is a matter of getting used to it. It can fearlessly handle close to 250-260 pounds (myself + added weights) which is a big plus. I find the exercises a bit too easy as I've spent years in the gym, but you can work around this by working on single arm pulls and such. I could use a more advanced machine due to that issue but I knew that going in. This is a great machine, in my case, to help strengthen the areas that I'm not super strong in (some core, endurance, situps, etc.). I've also used it as a regular incline bench with my dumbbells and have been happy with that so far. It's not perfect, but coming in at under $130, it's a reasonable investment. The sliding does make it more enjoyable as well. Anything that entices you to work out is a plus in my book. It's not built like a $1000 machine but for the price, I'm completely satisfied with the value of the TBW. Review: Nice but I hope it doesn't break or wear out ... - We just set this up and it works amazingly well. We need it for swimming exercises. It looks great for a "super pullover" type of exercise, and in addition you can do stroke pulls on your stomach. The exercise card shows 58 exercises but maybe 12 of them could probably be done better on your own (I don't need to be on a board to do leg presses, i can do lunges on the ground holding something heavy if I need that) and 12 of them are perhaps inferior duplicates of other exercises on the card. One failing is that you cannot lock both handles together in a straight line, so we put some 1/4" dowels (2 of them) through both of the hollow handles to treat the 2 handles like a straight metal bar. Another (very minor) failing of this device is that it's sized for adults with very long arms. What this means is that it's difficult for smaller people to grab both of the arm-pulls once you get onboard. At the moment my sons are using two people - one person gets on their back on the board, and reaches up, and the other person pulls each arm-pull down, one-by-one, to hand them to the exerciser. This is not a simple or convenient process. This machine has a HUGE advantage compared to some other low-cost machines because there are 4 bungee cords at the bottom to add resistance so you get 8 height settings and 5 bungee settings per height setting to fine-tune your workout! We looked up the parts on a exercise machine repair website and sure enough, the parts are priced as if this item retailed for $800. I thought I might pick up 4 bungee cords as spares, but not for $84 ($21 per bungee cord). What about a spare poster? $22. I was interested in spare foam pads but for $42 each, I certainly cannot afford 2x! I feel like the company should offer 4 bungee cords, 2 foam pads, and maybe cables for $40 and I'd buy that right away (and they'd probably make $25 in profit.) Instead, I'm probably going to be buying replacement parts at the hardware store and "rolling my own" - THEIR LOSS. With shipping the total gym cost us roughly $140, about 18 months ago. That is a great bargain. The build quality is surprisingly good and once you tighten the 3 nyloc nuts on the heavy duty bolts, it's very sturdy. You don't need the foot boards very often (only about 8 out of 40 exercises use them and I can do lunges on my own I don't need a gym for that) so I put those away for future use. There are only 5 things you need to do for (5-min) assembly : (1) There are 3 nut/hex-bolts you have to tighten to get the T-foot on the gym. Use a crescent wrench or a socket set for this (they are nyloc nuts with split washers.) (2) There are 2 foam pads you slide onto the bars (3) You need to rip the plastic off the vinyl-padded board (4) VERY IMPORTANT you must go down below and extend the gym. If you don't extend the gym, the board has nowhere to slide. (5) NOW PUT UP THE FOOT. The gym has a foot (kind of like an ironing board with one foot cut off) and you need to extend the remaining foot to set the height. There are 8x height settings. For even more settings, parts of the exercise poster show people leaning the gym against the wall for near-vertical exercises (pull-up type exercises.) I recommend setting the height while the gym is on its side because it's quite heavy and if the pull-pin gets away from you the whole thing can supposedly come slamming down on your thumb. This probably sounds scary but it's simply common sense as the gym is very sturdy steel and is a heavy-duty well-made machine. ## Features - Full-body gym offers over 50 body-shaping exercises that strengthen and build muscle flexibility - Four adjustable power bands for up to 50-Pounds of additional resistance - Unrestricted cable and pulley system provides versatility and great range of motion - Space saving design with convenient slide away technology for quick and easy storage - 30-Day satisfaction guarantee, 90-day limited warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000NPWVPE | | Brand | Weider | | Brand Name | Weider | | Color | AC5825 | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 475 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00043619214413 | | Grip Size | medium | | Handle Type | Fixed Handle | | Included Components | Additional grips/bars | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 71"D x 26.5"W x 49.5"H | | Item Weight | 76 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Weider Strength | | Manufacturer Part Number | V28779-00000-00000 | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | WEBE1441 | | Product Dimensions | 71"D x 26.5"W x 49.5"H | | Strap Type | Cable/Pulley | | Tension Level | 50 | | Tension Supported | 50 | | UPC | 043619214413 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Weider Total Body Works 5000 Gym - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PvOIKd21L.jpg) ![Weider Total Body Works 5000 Gym - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61psapnnRmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing value compared to the Total Gym.

I like this machine for a light injury-free workout. It's good for toning and losing weight. I cannot see myself buffing up on this one, but it's not my goal. Long summary: It'll serve you better if you know already what you're doing. You should have at least a few years experience of working out. If you have no background, I recommend you go first to a gym that has similar equipment and use a personal trainer to get familiarized with the range of exercises, how to combine them into a meaningful workout and how to executed them correctly. I don't think this product falls short in any way to Total Gym XLS. I've been using it for about a week with my fiancΓ©e. We love it. We take turn with one person being "the personal trainer" for the other. She was a gymnast, I was a Taekwondo player. There are some exercises which are not comfortable to execute on this machine (especially the chest), but they're solvable with some simple modification. I wrapped my belt around the handlebars to increase the range of exercises I can do. Youtube "Weider Total Body Works 5000", and you'll see a video review which gave me the idea. As many people, I find it challenging to work out the chest. However, I've "invented" my own thing - as there is a one arm rowing, I'm doing one arm press, which is basically punching with one arm against the resistance of the machine. Works fantastically. There are some other creative things I've done to work out the chest, but they're hard to describe in words. Generally - buy this machine, and invent your own workouts. I also love it that I can do assisted pullups. I can do "normal" pull ups, but I prefer to warm up for them. This machine helps me warm up or to do pull ups when tired or lazy or injured. One warning - this thing is heavy and it's hard to toss to and out of storage. Folding is easy. Very easy and very fast. Also, it scratched my hardwood floor the first time I worked out. Now I make sure I put a bathroom rug underneath it every time I use it. I've been drooling over Total Gym GTS (commercial version of XLS), but couldn't find a used one for less than 1000$. If I could get Total Gym GTS for less than 500$, I'd take it over Weider Total Body Works 5000 Gym. But with the way things are, this is by far the best value/money investment. And eve if you're a serious athlete, it'll give you enough functionality. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2332804-weider-total-body-works-5000-gym](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2332804-weider-total-body-works-5000-gym) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
