Compact home gyms are the in-thing in the fitness community now.
I mean, there's nothing better than having access to the gym without having to worry about planning and packing, monthly fees, stifling environment and other hassles that come with a gym membership .
And that's where Total Gym accessories, attachments and parts come in (for those who own one of the Total Gym models). And if you don't have one sitting in your home now, you should take a look at the 7 best-rated Total Gym machines.
