The ELEVATE Circuit is a line of commercial gym equipment offering safe and effective functional strength training. Employing the same principles as Total Gym’s hallmark GTS piece, each piece in the circuit uses bodyweight as resistance—meaning no weight stacks or plates.
This unique line is ideal as a tool for personal training, as a dedicated self-serve circuit on the gym floor, or as the foundation for a group training program.
Benefits for the individual exerciser:

Why would my members use the ELEVATE Super Circuit over other equipment in my facility?
The ELEVATE Super Circuit bridges the gap between traditional selectorized equipment and hyper functional cages because members of any fitness level can be successful with bodyweight training. Unlike any other equipment the ELEVATE Super Circuit unloads to a percentage of bodyweight, not 100% of bodyweight so someone who cannot normally do a regular pull-up for example, can perform one using this equipment.
How will bodyweight training benefit my members?
Bodyweight training is an extremely effective for building muscle while adopting a more natural range of motion that improves athleticism quickly and effectively. This type of functional training benefits every body as it is designed to mirror the way a body actually moves. The Circuit applies the unique concept of incline bodyweight training as the method of resistance, rather than the traditional weighted resistance most fitness equipment is built upon.
How can my members get a full body workout in 30 minutes?
Each machine in the Circuit targets certain muscles and muscle groups. By performing the exercises shown on the unit placard on each unit, your members will work their entire body in about 30-minutes.
