Best ValueRank #6 in All-in-One Home Gyms
Total Gym XLS
by Total Gym
Score
The folding all-in-one pick. Bodyweight incline resistance rather than plates, 400 lb user capacity, and it folds to 9 inches deep — the practical choice when the gym shares a room. Sold by Total Gym's own Amazon store, 4.7 on Amazon from 1,036 ratings.
Strengths
- ↑Folds to 9 inches deep for storage — rare in this category
- ↑400 lb maximum user weight
- ↑Bodyweight resistance, so there are no plates or discs to buy
Weaknesses
- ↓Bodyweight-only resistance caps how heavy you can go
- ↓90 inches long when open needs real floor space
Buyer sentiment
Buyers praise the folding storage, ease of use and build quality. Some flag the footprint when open.
Verdict: A folding glideboard trainer that turns your bodyweight into the resistance — the all-in-one for a room that has to be something else most of the day.
Specs that matter
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Resistance | Bodyweight on an adjustable incline |
| Max user weight | 400 lb |
| Open footprint | 19 x 90 x 43 in |
| Folded | 19 x 51 x 9 in |
What you get
- No plates, no subscription — raise the incline to add load
- Folds flat — 9 inches deep, stores behind a door or under a bed
- Low impact — a gliding seat, not a bar on your back
What you give up
- A ceiling on load — the heaviest setting is a share of your bodyweight, so strong lifters outgrow it
- Floor length when open — 90 inches long
Buy it if you want full-body resistance work that disappears after the session. Skip it if you are chasing barbell-strength numbers.
Resistance-training outcomes track volume, intensity, and progressive overload (Schoenfeld 2017, J Sports Sci), not modality.

Ranked alternatives from the same category, with our score and the current price.
The Amazon-shipped all-in-one and this page's top pick. The listing states a Smith machine, power cage, dual cable crossover with a 1:1 pulley ratio, pull-up station and a 2,000 lb capacity, sold by Major Fitness's own store. It does not publish a cable stack weight, and with 38 ratings its owner record is still thin.
Budget Smith machine + cable + leg developer combo. Plate-loaded (you supply the weights), bench included, and the largest owner-review record of the Smith machines here: 4.4 on Amazon from 1,438 ratings. Sold by a third-party seller at or under the maker's price.
The under-$800 step between the Roygym and the Drone2: the listing states a Smith bar on linear bearings, a power cage, a dual-pulley cable crossover, a T-bar row and a squat station on 2x2-inch uprights rated to 2,500 lb. Same brand as the top pick, and only 34 ratings so far, so the owner record is thin.
Tonal 2
Wall-mounted digital strength trainer with two electromagnetic resistance arms delivering up to 250 lb of resistance. 4.1 on Amazon from 12 ratings, too few to score; Amazon.com sells it at $4,590 against $4,295 direct. Tonal requires a 12-month initial membership commitment at $59.95 a month.
The under-$700 entry into this category. The listing now sells a Smith machine home gym: a Smith bar on linear bearings with safety stops, a power cage and a dual-pulley 1:1 cable crossover in 18.3 sq ft. With 40 ratings the owner record is still thin, and the listing states no load capacity.
