compared BodyRail to Total Gym and Total Trainer, guess what they said?

"If you're interested in body weight resistance training or Pilates type workouts,
buy a Bodyrail Gym for your home."

Some Key Advantages BodyRail Has Over Total Gym

Proper Form: Only BodyRail provides you with the ability to adjust cables both vertically AND laterally so that you can tailor each exercise for proper form as well as customize the fit for different size users. A 6' tall man should not have to use the same settings as a 5'5" woman and vice versa. Experts agree, form is essential for maximum benefit. As an example, doing a chest press on a Total Gym where the resistance comes from the level of your waist does not maximize benefit. With BodyRail's patented adjustable cables you can place the resistance in line with your chest to get the best workout possible. Click the BodyRail 440i Chest Press image to get an idea of how you can customize BodyRail's cables to fit your specific needs. Adjustable cables allow you to get fit quicker, lose weight faster, and get better more effective results. Click here to see over 100 Animated Exercises .

Reversible Foot Platform: Exclusive to BodyRail is our reversible foot platform. In the upright position it allows the user to do squats, calf raises, side squats, etc…. In the reversed position provides clearance under the rail that is available only from BodyRail. Clearance under the rail means users can perform seated leg extensions and leg curls just like you would in a gym. It also gives you the ability to do swimming exercises with the resistance below you, just like you would experience in a swimming pool. Additionally, raising the rail provides seat level comfort for all exercises, all in all a much more natural and comfortable position in which to exercise.

6 Foot Tall Risers: BodyRail's patented 6 foot tall 440i risers provide users the widest range of resistance and flexibility in its class. You can work out with anywhere from 0% to 89% of your natural body weight, more than any competitive product. And, with 6 foot tall risers, you have the flexibility to adjust cable heights for pullovers, hip adductors and more. And no other machine in its class gives you more options for pilates with the functionality of both a reformer and a single sided trapeze cadillac. The 440i risers offer the ability to attach a riser mounted foot platform at any level to provide physical therapists with unparalleled flexibility of any machine in this class.

Pilates Widest Range of Resistance Physical Therapy

Direct Resistance: Since BodyRail does not use pulleys with our cable exercises, resistance stays at 100% of stated levels on all of our machines. Check out Total Gym's manual. They state that resistance levels are reduced by 50% for any exercises using their pulley based cables. This means BodyRail can provide low levels for beginners and range of motion exercises as well as higher levels that will challenge even the most serious of weight lifter.

Versatility: BodyRail is the only machine in it's class that is designed to also be used as a standard weight bench. Simply insert the foot platform under the rail and set the rail level. BodyRail makes the perfect bench to perform dumbbell weight exercises.

A steel rail so strong it holds a car!

Wall Mount Capability: If space is an issue, the BodyRail 440i has built in wall mount capability. Simply mount it to the wall and it stores in 6 ½" x 14" of floor space!


Small Things: At BodyRail, we are committed to the details. We realize that while the machine needs to be functional, the little things can make all the difference. That's why we created an exercise bar that simply slides through the rail and rotates with the motion of your wrist, just like free-weights in a gym. Or the 9"cable extensions to get that perfect fit. BodyRail is filled with the "little things" designed around users that deserve a club quality workout.

Quality: While it seems all competitors claim "quality", we prove it to you. Steel so strong, it holds a car! Yep, we took two 340i machines and drove a car up their rails! No competitor in this category can make that claim. And because of this strength, BodyRail machines are warranted for commercial use. Here's the legal part. Just because BodyRail CAN hold a car, don't do this at home. BodyRail is not designed to be used as a car ramp.
