SO glad I am not the only one who struggles. I struggle lifting levels at times. Thanks for sharing. 5’4 lady 😊 Fit model

There's a lot of us. I've gotten a lot of comments across videos of people sharing their horror stories.

You are so right, about watching fingers! I sprayed all danger points in red paint. Great videos!!

[@susanmaloney3922]

So glad I watched this video! I have a Total Gym Fit that I need to close up for a move and have had many spine surgeries, only 5'2 in height so these instructions really helped.

The video we all needed! Thanks!

I love your timing with this video. Just last week, I closed my XLS on my thumb for the first time ever. Damn, that was painful ! Let's just say I'm MUCH more careful when closing it from now on.

[@hybridresistance]

That'll do it. After about the fifth time, I'm extra cautious when my hands are under the frame.

I tried your wife’s method on the FIT model and the whole pad popped off, and scared me half to death, lol. I like yours and I go slow. I’m a 64yr old female.

Nice to hear borther

[@garyk57]

Very helpful video...Thanks!

[@4kats]

Never had any issues folding or unfolding mine. I'm always careful though because it can be sooo easy to smash your fingers or hands. Not good and no fun. Thanks for the video 👍

[@slestage5725]

It did once Snap my finger when folding it i didnt work for a month so watch out now I only fold it by the center axle

[@ZumbawithDorothy]

The one with the yellow stripe and folding and I am yold but short makes me sad to fold 😢

[@andrewk473]

I used to have a Total Gym and never really had any issue with folding / unfolding it. Recently purchased a Weider UBW to get back into it and struggle with that one. I can set it up or take it down but the whole procedure seems awkward, at least the way I try and do it.

[@hybridresistance]

I actually loved the Weider for set up. I just fully collapse it and just flipped it over to collapse the bottom half. Now the new (proform) UBW, that isn't as easy.

[@ZumbawithDorothy]

I am gonna grease it after I WD40 it too

[@boderosa696]

As at least one other older comment mentioned, if you try and lift it up into the "A-frame" position by grabbing and lifting up by the end of the slider board, the WHOLE PAD can POP OFF and then the whole frame and slider rails DROPS to the floor!!! I just tried following your video and this happened to me and smashed my toe!!! PLEASE take down this video, it's DANGEROUS!!!

Common sense… no need to remove video.
